Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/azure-compute-virtual-machines updated: 2026-10-22 --- Connectors · MSP & PSA # Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) MCP server for AI agents. actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 313 Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) actions (140 reads, 102 writes and 71 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Azure Compute (Virtual Machines)'s limits and records every call. [Connect Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) 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. `claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` the first call ``` do { action: "azure_compute.operations.list", intent: "check which Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) account is connected" } # List the operations for the provider · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 313 actions in one signed file - 140 read look, never change - 102 write create and update - 71 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first Set up ## Connect Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) 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 Compute (Virtual Machines). 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_id` Entra application (client) id of a service principal with an Azure RBAC role on the subscription - `client_secret` Entra client secret - `tenant_id` Your Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) tenant id ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "azure_compute" } # 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_compute.operations.list" } # list the operations for the provider · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "azure_compute.virtual_machines.update", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) at a glance **Sign-in** OAuth 2.0, client credentials.

Write write The operation to update a virtual machine in Azure Compute (Virtual Machines). Show me exactly what you will send before you save it. calls `azure_compute.virtual_machines.update` Governance for Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) ## Destructive actions wait for a yes. 71 Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) actions are destructive. The first 10: - The operation to delete a virtual machine `azure_compute.virtual_machines.delete` - The operation to power off (stop) a virtual machine `azure_compute.virtual_machines.power_off` - The operation to restart a virtual machine `azure_compute.virtual_machines.restart` - Deletes a disk `azure_compute.disks.delete` - Deletes a snapshot `azure_compute.snapshots.delete` - Delete an SSH public key `azure_compute.ssh_public_keys.delete` - Deletes an Image `azure_compute.images.delete` - The operation to delete a capacity reservation `azure_compute.capacity_reservations.delete` - Captures the VM by copying virtual hard disks of the VM and outputs a template that can be used to create similar VMs `azure_compute.virtual_machines.capture` - Run command on the VM `azure_compute.virtual_machines.run_command` 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. do azure_compute.virtual_machines.delete confirm_policy: **human** The operation to delete a virtual machine? **intent:** the user asked me to the operation to delete a virtual machine run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _azure-compute-agent_ cannot confirm itself In the console, or from an emailed signed link. a key for this connector ``` account { op: "keys.create", name: "azure-compute-agent", allowed_actions: ["azure_compute.*"], cap_calls: 2000, confirm_policy: "human_for_writes", approval_rules: [ { match: "azure_compute.virtual_machines.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "azure_compute.virtual_machines.power_off", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "azure_compute.virtual_machines.restart", approver: "lead@example.com" } ] } ``` Illustrative.

Questions ## The Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) MCP server, answered. **Is there an Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) MCP server for Claude?** Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 313 Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) actions across virtual machine scale sets, virtual machines, virtual machine scale set VMS and availability sets, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Azure Compute (Virtual Machines). **What do I need to connect Azure Compute (Virtual Machines)?** Entra application (client) id of a service principal with an Azure RBAC role on the subscription and Entra client secret. Plus your tenant id. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "azure_compute" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in Azure Compute (Virtual Machines)?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 71 Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) actions are destructive, including the operation to delete a virtual machine, the operation to power off (stop) a virtual machine and the operation to restart a virtual machine. 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 Compute (Virtual Machines) API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) service file: 200 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (137 Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) actions can be), which never reaches Azure Compute (Virtual Machines). **What does an Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (70 Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) 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 Compute (Virtual Machines) API does it cover?** The Azure Compute (virtual machines, scale sets, disks, snapshots, images, galleries) API Azure Resource Manager Microsoft.Compute: ComputeRP.json (2026-04-01), DiskRP.json (2026-03-02), skus.json (2021-07-01), GalleryRP.json (2026-03-03) at management.azure.com. It is built from Azure Compute (Virtual Machines)'s documentation as read on 22 October 2026. 313 actions in 57 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) 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 Compute (Virtual Machines) 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. ## More connectors like Azure Compute (Virtual Machines) Shares the most action names with - [DigitalOcean 8](https://actionlake.com/connectors/digitalocean) - [Azure Virtual Desktop 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/azure-virtual-desktop) - [SUSE Rancher Manager 4](https://actionlake.com/connectors/suse-rancher-manager) - [NetBox 4](https://actionlake.com/connectors/netbox) - [Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/azure-kubernetes-service-aks) - [Azure SQL Database 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/azure-sql-database) Joins with, on shared entities - [Google Compute Engine 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/google-compute-engine) - [Elasticsearch 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/elasticsearch) - [OpenSearch 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/opensearch) - [Vultr 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/vultr) - [Kubernetes 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/kubernetes) - [Akamai Cloud (Linode) 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/akamai-cloud-linode) Browse - [All MSP & PSA connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/msp-and-psa) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
