Azure MCP server

This is a helper from Microsoft that connects your AI assistant to Azure, which is Microsoft's cloud service where companies keep files, databases and websites. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI questions about your Azure setup in normal words instead of clicking around a web portal. It is handy if your team uses Azure and you want quick answers without learning all the menus.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question about your Azure setup, like what storage accounts you have or what a database contains. The AI passes your request to this helper program. The helper signs in to Azure using your account and talks to the right service, such as Storage, Cosmos DB or Azure Monitor. Then it brings the answer back and your AI explains it to you in plain language. You never have to open the Azure website yourself unless you want to.
