Azure App Service tools for Azure MCP Server

The Azure MCP Server lets you manage Azure resources, including Azure App Service instances, using natural language prompts. This feature enables you to quickly manage your web applications without needing to remember complex syntax.

Azure App Service is a managed platform for building, deploying, and scaling web apps. It offers built-in support for popular programming languages and frameworks, as well as features like autoscaling, custom domains, and SSL certificates. With Azure App Service, you can focus on application development rather than infrastructure management.

Note

The Azure MCP Server tools define parameters for data they need to complete tasks. Some of these parameters are specific to each tool and are documented below. Other parameters are global and shared by all tools. For more information, see Tool parameters.
