Azure MCP (Model Context Protocol) for Claude Desktop

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation that enables Claude Desktop to interact with Azure services. This integration allows Claude to query and manage Azure resources directly through natural language conversations.

- Azure Resource Management: Interface with Azure Resource Management client
- Subscription Management: List and manage Azure subscriptions
- Tenant Management: List and select Azure tenants
- Automatic Authentication: Leverages DefaultAzureCredential for flexible authentication methods
- Error Handling: Robust error handling with retries for transient failures
- Clean Response Formatting: Properly formatted responses compatible with Claude Desktop

- Node.js (v18 or higher)
- Claude Desktop Application
- Azure Account with appropriate permissions
- Azure CLI (optional, for CLI-based authentication)

git clone https://github.com/Streen9/azure-mcp.git cd azure-mcp

- Configure Claude Desktop:

- Openclaude_desktop_config.json
- Add the following MCP configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "sequential-thinking": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking" ] }, "azure": { "command": "tsx", "args": [ "C:/Users/[YourUsername]/path/to/azure-mcp/src/launcher.ts" ] } } }

The server supports multiple authentication methods through DefaultAzureCredential:

- Environment Variables
- Managed Identity
- Azure CLI
- Visual Studio Code
- Interactive Browser

The server will automatically try these methods in sequence until one succeeds.
- Close Claude Desktop if it's running (check Task Manager)
- Start Claude Desktop
- In the chat, you can now ask Azure-related questions like:

- "Can you get all the available Azure accounts and subscriptions?"
- "List all resource groups in my subscription"
- "Show me all virtual machines in a specific resource group"

You: Can you get all the available Azure accounts and subscriptions? Claude: I'll help you list all available Azure tenants and subscriptions. [Claude will then use the Azure MCP to fetch and display the information]

- AzureMCPServer: Main server class implementing the MCP protocol
- HandleCallTool: Processes incoming tool requests
- ExecuteWithRetry: Implements retry logic for resilient operations

- Ensure you're logged in via Azure CLI (az login)
- Check environment variables if using service principal
- Verify your Azure account has necessary permissions

- Verify Claude Desktop configuration
- Check paths in config file match your installation
- Ensure no other instances are running

- NO_TENANT: Select a tenant using the 'select-tenant' tool
- NO_CLIENTS: Ensure proper initialization and authentication
- CODE_EXECUTION_FAILED: Check Azure permissions and connection
