The Azure MCP Server lets you manage Azure Storage resources, including storage accounts, containers, tables, and blobs with natural language prompts. You don't need to remember specific command syntax.
Azure Storage is Microsoft's cloud storage solution for modern data storage scenarios. Azure Storage offers highly available, massively scalable, durable, and secure storage for various data objects in the cloud.
