Azure Storage

Covers Azure's five core storage services with MCP tools for blob operations and CLI fallbacks for everything else. The breakdown of access tiers (hot, cool, cold, archive) and redundancy options (LRS through GZRS) is thorough, and the service comparison table makes it clear when to use blob storage versus file shares versus queues. Heavy focus on blob storage operations since that's what most people actually use day-to-day. The SDK references are comprehensive but the MCP integration only handles basic blob CRUD, so you'll still need CLI for lifecycle policies or advanced features.

Azure Storage Services

Services

Service	Use When	MCP Tools	CLI
Blob Storage	Objects, files, backups, static content	`azure__storage`	`az storage blob`
File Shares	SMB file shares, lift-and-shift	-	`az storage file`
Queue Storage	Async messaging, task queues	-	`az storage queue`
Table Storage	NoSQL key-value (consider Cosmos DB)	-	`az storage table`
Data Lake	Big data analytics, hierarchical namespace	-	`az storage fs`

MCP Server (Preferred)

When Azure MCP is enabled:

azure__storage with command storage_account_list - List storage accounts
azure__storage with command storage_container_list - List containers in account
azure__storage with command storage_blob_list - List blobs in container
azure__storage with command storage_blob_get - Download blob content
azure__storage with command storage_blob_put - Upload blob content

If Azure MCP is not enabled: In Copilot CLI or Claude Code, ask the user to run /mcp and enable Azure MCP; in other hosts, ask the user to enable Azure MCP through the host's MCP configuration.
