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 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, azure-deploy, azure-upgrade, azure-enterprise-infra-planner, azure-hosted-copilot-sdk, azure-kubernetes, and airunway-aks-setupazure-diagnostics, appinsights-instrumentation, azure-compliance, azure-resource-lookup, and azure-quotasazure-cost, azure-compute, azure-resource-visualizer, and azure-cloud-migrateazure-ai, azure-aigateway, azure-storage, azure-kusto, azure-messaging, azure-rbac, 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 workflowsThe Azure Skills Plugin is multi-harness. If you use APM, one command installs it across GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex, and Gemini from a single apm.yml:
apm install microsoft/azure-skills
Add 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.
Install the plugin — either run:
/plugin install azure@claude-plugins-official
Or run /plugin and search for "azure" in the marketplace:
