 All Azure MCP tools in a single server. The Azure MCP Server implements the [MCP specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) to create a seamless connection between AI agents and Azure services. Azure MCP Server can be used alone or with the [GitHub Copilot for Azure extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-azuretools.vscode-azure-github-copilot) in VS Code.  This project is in Public Preview and implementation may significantly change prior to our General Availability.

-
-Microsoft publishes an official Azure MCP Server .NET Tool on NuGet: [Azure.Mcp](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Azure.Mcp).
-
-### <a id="npm"></a> 📦 NPM
-
-Microsoft publishes an official Azure MCP Server npm package for Node.js: [@azure/mcp](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@azure/mcp).
-
-### <a id="docker"></a> 🐋 Docker
-
-Microsoft publishes an official Azure MCP Server Docker container on the [Microsoft Artifact Registry](https://mcr.microsoft.com/artifact/mar/azure-sdk/azure-mcp).
-
-<details>
-<summary>For a step-by-step Docker installation, follow these instructions:</summary>
-
-1. Create an `.env` file with environment variables that [match one of the `EnvironmentCredential`](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/azure.identity.environmentcredential) sets.  For example, a `.env` file using a service principal could look like:
-
-    ```bash
-    AZURE_TENANT_ID={YOUR_AZURE_TENANT_ID}
-    AZURE_CLIENT_ID={YOUR_AZURE_CLIENT_ID}
-    AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET={YOUR_AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET}
-    ```
+# Installation
 
-2. Add `.vscode/mcp.json` or update existing MCP configuration. Replace `/full/path/to/.env` with a path to your `.env` file.
+- To use Azure MCP server from node you must have Node.js (LTS) installed and available on your system PATH — this provides both `npm` and `npx`. We recommend Node.js 20 LTS or later. To verify your installation run: `node --version`, `npm --version`, and `npx --version`.
+-  Configure your `mcp.json` file with the following:
 
     ```json
     {
-      "servers": {
-        "Azure MCP Server": {
-          "command": "docker",
-          "args": [
-            "run",
-            "-i",
-            "--rm",
-            "--env-file",
-            "/full/path/to/.env",
-            "mcr.microsoft.com/azure-sdk/azure-mcp:latest",
-          ]
+        "mcpServers": {
+            "azure-mcp-server": {
+            "command": "npx",
+            "args": [
+                "-y",
+                "@azure/mcp@latest",
+                "server",
+                "start"
+                ]
+            }
         }
-      }
     }
     ```
+**Note:** When manually configuring Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, use `servers` instead of `mcpServers` as the root object.
 
-Optionally, use `--env` or `--volume` to pass authentication values.

-You can easily configure your MCP client to use the Azure MCP Server. 
+# Usage
 
-<details>
-<summary>Have your client run the following command and access it via standard IO:</summary>
-
-```bash
-npx -y @azure/mcp@latest server start
-```
-
-For example, add the following `mcp.json` to VS Code.  Other clients will look similar, but may be structured slightly different.  Consult the documentation of the custom client for details.
-
-1. Example `mcp.json`:
-
-    ```json
-    {
-      "servers": {
-        "Azure MCP Server": {

 MCP as a phenomenon is very novel and cutting-edge. As with all new technology standards, consider doing a security review to ensure any systems that integrate with MCP servers follow all regulations and standards your system is expected to adhere to. This includes not only the Azure MCP Server, but any MCP client/agent that you choose to implement down to the model provider.
