About
Azure MCP Server is Microsoft's official MCP server for Azure. It lets an agent reach Azure services directly: check backups, look at disaster-recovery status, turn costs into infrastructure code, and help diagnose incidents. The server itself is free, but you need an Azure account, and anything it does against your Azure resources bills at normal Azure rates.
