Microsoft Azure MCP integration for cloud resource management, deployments, and Azure services. Manage your Azure infrastructure, monitor applications, and deploy resources directly from Claude Code.
Build, deploy, modify GitHub Copilot SDK apps on Azure. PREFER OVER azure-prepare when codebase contains copilot-sdk markers. WHEN: copilot SDK, @github/copilot-sdk, copilot-powered app, deploy copilot app, add feature, modify copilot app, BYOM, bring your own model, CopilotClient, createSession, sendAndWait, azd init copilot. DO NOT USE FOR: general web apps without copilot SDK (use azure-prepare), Copilot Extensions, Foundry agents (use microsoft-foundry).
Plan, create, and configure production-ready Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. Covers Day-0 checklist, SKU selection (Automatic vs Standard), networking options (private API server, Azure CNI Overlay, egress configuration), security, and operations (autoscaling, upgrade strategy, cost analysis). WHEN: create AKS environment, provision AKS environment, enable AKS observability, design AKS networking, choose AKS SKU, secure AKS.
Query and analyze data in Azure Data Explorer (Kusto/ADX) using KQL for log analytics, telemetry, and time series analysis. WHEN: KQL queries, Kusto database queries, Azure Data Explorer, ADX clusters, log analytics, time series data, IoT telemetry, anomaly detection.
Troubleshoot and resolve issues with Azure Messaging SDKs for Event Hubs and Service Bus. Covers connection failures, authentication errors, message processing issues, and SDK configuration problems. WHEN: event hub SDK error, service bus SDK issue, messaging connection failure, AMQP error, event processor host issue, message lock lost, message lock expired, lock renewal, lock renewal batch, send timeout, receiver disconnected, SDK troubleshooting, azure messaging SDK, event hub consumer, service bus queue issue, topic subscription error, enable logging event hub, service bus logging, eventhub python, servicebus java, eventhub javascript, servicebus dotnet, event hub checkpoint, event hub not receiving messages, service bus dead letter, batch processing lock, session lock expired, idle timeout, connection inactive, link detach, slow reconnect, session error, duplicate events, offset reset, receive batch.
Prepare Azure apps for deployment (infra Bicep/Terraform, azure.yaml, Dockerfiles). Use for create/modernize or create+deploy; not cross-cloud migration (use azure-cloud-migrate). WHEN: "create app", "build web app", "create API", "create serverless HTTP API", "create frontend", "create back end", "build a service", "modernize application", "update application", "add authentication", "add caching", "host on Azure", "create and deploy", "deploy to Azure", "deploy to Azure using Terraform", "deploy to Azure App Service", "deploy to Azure App Service using Terraform", "deploy to Azure Container Apps", "deploy to Azure Container Apps using Terraform", "generate Terraform", "generate Bicep", "function app", "timer trigger", "service bus trigger", "event-driven function", "containerized Node.js app", "social media app", "static portfolio website", "todo list with frontend and API", "prepare my Azure application to use Key Vault", "managed identity".

Azure work is not just a code problem. It is a decision problem: which service fits this app, what needs to be validated before deployment, which tools should run, and what guardrails matter. The Azure Skills Plugin packages Azure expertise and MCP-backed execution together so compatible coding agents can do real Azure work instead of giving generic cloud advice.
This plugin ships 20 curated Azure skills that teach an agent how Azure work gets done. They provide workflows, decision trees, and guardrails for scenarios such as:
azure-prepare, azure-validate, and azure-deployazure-diagnostics, azure-observability, and azure-complianceazure-cost-optimization, azure-compute, and azure-resource-visualizerazure-ai, azure-aigateway, azure-storage, azure-kusto, azure-rbac, azure-cloud-migrate, entra-app-registration, and microsoft-foundryThe plugin wires in the Azure MCP Server, which gives your agent 200+ structured tools across 40+ Azure services. That is the execution layer for listing resources, checking prices, querying logs, diagnosing issues, and driving real Azure workflows.
The plugin also includes Foundry MCP for Microsoft Foundry scenarios such as model discovery, model deployment, and agent workflows.
This is not a prompt pack. It is a packaged Azure capability layer:
| Component | What it adds | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Azure skills | Azure expertise, workflows, and guardrails | Prepare, validate, deploy, diagnostics, cost, AI, RBAC |
| Azure MCP Server | Live Azure tooling | Resource inventory, monitoring, pricing, storage, databases, messaging |
| Foundry MCP | Microsoft Foundry workflows | Model catalog, deployments, agents, evaluations |
The plugin payload lives in .github/plugins/azure-skills/, and the included MCP configuration shows how Azure and Foundry connectivity are wired for compatible hosts.
Before you install, make sure you have:
npx is used to start the MCP servers)az loginazd auth login if you plan to use deployment workflowsAdd the marketplace (first time only):
/plugin marketplace add microsoft/azure-skills
Install the plugin:
/plugin install azure@azure-skills
Update the plugin:
/plugin update azure@azure-skills
Install the Azure MCP extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace:
The Azure MCP extension will also install a companion extension that brings the Azure skills into VS Code. Together they configure the Azure MCP Server, Foundry MCP, and the full skills layer automatically.
Note: The skills extension requires Git CLI to be installed on your machine. If you don't have it, ask Copilot to help you install Git for your OS.
