Developer tools For it and development For operations Cloud Platforms

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to Azure Resource Graph, the part of Azure that keeps a searchable list of all your cloud resources. Once it is set up, you can just ask your AI things like what virtual machines you have or where they live, instead of clicking around the Azure portal. It is handy for anyone who manages Azure subscriptions and wants quick answers in plain chat.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. This one connects your AI to Azure, specifically to Azure Resource Graph, so it can look up your cloud resources for you. When you ask a question, your AI passes it to this helper, the helper asks Azure, and the answer comes back into your chat.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question about your Azure resources, like which storage accounts you have. The AI sends that request to this helper program running on your computer. The helper signs in to Azure using your existing Azure login and runs a Resource Graph query. Azure sends back the matching resources, and the helper hands them to your AI. Your AI then shows you the list or a short summary right in the chat.

What it gives back to you

You get back a list of resources, usually with the resource ID, name, type, and location. Your AI may show it as a table or a short summary in the chat. If you run a custom query, you get whatever columns that query asks for. Nothing in Azure is changed, it is read only.
