# Azure Pricing MCP Server 💰

A **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** server that provides AI assistants with real-time access to Azure retail pricing information. Query VM prices, compare costs across regions, estimate monthly bills, and discover available SKUs—all through natural language.

---

## 🚀 Quick Start

```bash
# Clone and setup
git clone https://github.com/alexwoods711/AzureMCPPricing.git
cd AzureMCPPricing
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Test the server
python -m azure_pricing_mcp
```

Then configure your AI assistant. See [Integrations](#-integrations).
