Azure Advisor MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Azure Advisor and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 22 Azure Advisor actions (16 reads, 5 writes and 1 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Azure Advisor credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Azure Advisor's limits and records every call.

100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

Set up

Connect Azure Advisor in three steps.

  1. 01

    Add actionlake to Claude.

    Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.

    https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp
  2. 02

    Connect Azure Advisor.

    OAuth 2.0, client credentials. Paste the app's client id and secret; actionlake fetches and renews the token, and nobody has to sign in. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.

    • client_secretEntra client secret
    • tenant_idYour Azure Advisor tenant id
    account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "azure_advisor" }
    # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you
  3. 03

    Make the first call. Check before a write.

    Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, check validates the call and prices it, for free.

    do    { action: "azure_advisor.subscriptions.list" }# list the subscriptions the credential can see · read · 1 upstream callcheck { action: "azure_advisor.recommendations.generate", input: { … } }# free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent

Prompts to paste into Claude.

Each one names the Azure Advisor actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

Governance for Azure Advisor

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

1 Azure Advisor action is destructive. This is it:

  • Enables the activation of a snoozed or dismissed recommendationazure_advisor.suppressions.delete

A destructive action runs only with confirm: true. Under the human policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.

Questions

The Azure Advisor MCP server, answered.

Is there an Azure Advisor MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 22 Azure Advisor actions across recommendations, configurations, suppressions and advisor scores, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Azure Advisor.

What do I need to connect Azure Advisor?

Entra application (client) id of a service principal with Reader (or Advisor Contributor) on the subscription and Entra client secret. Plus your tenant id. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "azure_advisor" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Azure Advisor?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 1 Azure Advisor action is destructive, including enables the activation of a snoozed or dismissed recommendation. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.

Will an AI agent use up my Azure Advisor API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Azure Advisor service file: 200 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (14 Azure Advisor actions can be), which never reaches Azure Advisor.

What does an Azure Advisor action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (8 Azure Advisor actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Azure Advisor refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Which Azure Advisor API does it cover?

The Azure Advisor (recommendations, Advisor score, suppressions, configuration, resiliency reviews) API Azure Resource Manager Microsoft.Advisor: openapi.json (2026-10-01) at management.azure.com. It is built from Azure Advisor's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 22 actions in 8 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Azure Advisor data, and where?

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Azure Advisor credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.

Which AI clients can use it?

Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
