Package Exports
- @azure/mcp-darwin-arm64
- @azure/mcp-darwin-arm64/index.js
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@azure/mcp-darwin-arm64) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Package Managers
🤖 NuGet
Microsoft publishes an official Azure MCP Server .NET Tool on NuGet: Azure.Mcp.
📦 NPM
Microsoft publishes an official Azure MCP Server npm package for Node.js: @azure/mcp.
🐋 Docker
Microsoft publishes an official Azure MCP Server Docker container on the Microsoft Artifact Registry.
For a step-by-step Docker installation, follow these instructions:
Create an
.env
file with environment variables that match one of theEnvironmentCredential
sets. For example, a.env
file using a service principal could look like:AZURE_TENANT_ID={YOUR_AZURE_TENANT_ID} AZURE_CLIENT_ID={YOUR_AZURE_CLIENT_ID} AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET={YOUR_AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET}
Add
.vscode/mcp.json
or update existing MCP configuration. Replace/full/path/to/.env
with a path to your.env
file.{ "servers": { "Azure MCP Server": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "--env-file", "/full/path/to/.env", "mcr.microsoft.com/azure-sdk/azure-mcp:latest", ] } } }
Optionally, use --env
or --volume
to pass authentication values.
🤖 Custom Clients
You can easily configure your MCP client to use the Azure MCP Server.
Have your client run the following command and access it via standard IO:
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.
Example
mcp.json
:{ "servers": { "Azure MCP Server": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@azure/mcp@latest", "server", "start" ] } } }

🛡️ Security
Your credentials are always handled securely through the official Azure Identity SDK - we never store or manage tokens directly.
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.
Data Collection
The software may collect information about you and your use of the software and send it to Microsoft. Microsoft may use this information to provide services and improve our products and services. You may turn off the telemetry as described in the repository. There are also some features in the software that may enable you and Microsoft to collect data from users of your applications. If you use these features, you must comply with applicable law, including providing appropriate notices to users of your applications together with a copy of Microsoft's privacy statement. You can learn more about data collection and use in the help documentation and our privacy statement. Your use of the software operates as your consent to these practices.
Telemetry Configuration
Telemetry collection is on by default.
To opt out, set the environment variable AZURE_MCP_COLLECT_TELEMETRY
to false
in your environment.
