Azure Platform Engineering MCP Server
Provides real-time cluster health checks, node status, pod health, events, and recommendations from a live AKS cluster via the Kubernetes API.
Analyzes Terraform HCL modules to compute a quality score and provide policy validation for Terraform modules.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Azure Platform Engineering MCP Servercheck cluster health for aks-platform-demo"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Azure Platform Engineering MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connected to real Azure infrastructure. Deploys a live AKS cluster and provides AI agents with real-time access to cluster health, Azure resources, policy validation, and Terraform analysis.
No simulated data. Every API call hits live Azure services.
What This Does
This MCP server gives AI agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.) structured access to a real Azure platform:
Tool | Data Source | What It Returns |
| Kubernetes API (live AKS) | Real node status, pod health, events, recommendations |
| PyYAML parser | Policy compliance for real YAML manifests |
| HCL analysis | Quality score for Terraform modules |
| Azure Resource Manager API | Real resource groups, AKS clusters, VMs |

How It Works

Deployment Pipeline

Live Proof
This was deployed and tested against a real AKS cluster on Azure for Students.
kubectl get nodes

kubectl get pods (with real CrashLoopBackOff)

MCP Server Test Output (LIVE)

Azure Portal

Infrastructure
Deployed via Terraform in terraform/main.tf:
Resource | Details |
Resource Group |
|
AKS Cluster |
|
Node Pool | 1x Standard_D2as_v4 (cost-optimised) |
Network | Azure CNI + Calico network policy |
Monitoring | Log Analytics workspace + OMS agent |
Workloads | 3 namespaces: product-api, product-web, platform-monitoring |
The platform-monitoring namespace includes an intentionally failing pod to demonstrate how the health check tool detects and reports real CrashLoopBackOff incidents.
