Prerequisites

  • Node.js 20+

  • npm

Build

npm install
npm run build

Azure setup (for authenticated tools)

Create a service principal and assign the Cost Management Reader role:

# Create service principal
az ad sp create-for-rbac --name azure-cost-mcp --role "Cost Management Reader" \
  --scopes /subscriptions/<SUBSCRIPTION_ID>

# Output includes appId (clientId), password (clientSecret), tenant (tenantId)

Claude Desktop configuration

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "azure-cost": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/azure-cost-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "AZURE_TENANT_ID": "...",
        "AZURE_CLIENT_ID": "...",
        "AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET": "...",
        "AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID": "..."
      }
    }
  }
}

The retail tools work without credentials. Cost Management tools will return setup instructions if credentials are missing.
