Talking to Azure in Plain English: The ARM MCP Server

The Azure Resource Manager (ARM) MCP Server is an open-standard integration tool that securely bridges AI assistants with Azure cloud infrastructure. By leveraging the Model Context Protocol, it enables AI models to natively generate Azure Resource Graph queries and manage infrastructure deployments using natural language. This capability allows developers and cloud administrators to discover, audit, and provision resources through conversational commands while strictly respecting existing role-based access controls.
