# 🌟 Microsoft MCP Servers ## 📘 What is MCP? **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to large language models (LLMs). It allows AI applications to connect with various data sources and tools in a consistent manner, enhancing their capabilities and flexibility. MCP follows a client-server architecture: - **MCP Hosts**: Applications like AI assistants or IDEs that initiate connections. - **MCP Clients**: Connectors within the host application that maintain 1:1 connections with servers. - **MCP Servers**: Services that provide context and capabilities through the standardized MCP. For more details, visit the [official MCP website](https://modelcontextprotocol.io). ## 📁 Which MCP Servers are built from this repository? This repository contains core libraries, test frameworks, engineering systems, pipelines, and tooling for Microsoft MCP Server contributors to unify engineering investments; and reduce duplication and divergence: | MCP Server | README | Source Code | CHANGELOG | Releases | Documentation | Troubleshooting | Support | |:---------------------|:--------------------:|:-----------------------:|:---------------------:|:--------------------:|:-------------------------:|:---------------------------:|:-------------------:| | Azure MCP | [Azure MCP README] | [Azure MCP Source Code] | [Azure MCP CHANGELOG] | [Azure MCP Releases] | [Azure MCP Documentation] | [Azure MCP Troubleshooting] | [Azure MCP Support] | | Microsoft Fabric MCP | [Fabric MCP README] | [Fabric MCP Source Code] | [Fabric MCP CHANGELOG] | [Fabric MCP Releases] | [Fabric Documentation] | [Fabric MCP Troubleshooting] | [Fabric MCP Support] | [Azure MCP README]: https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/blob/main/servers/Azure.Mcp.Server/README.md [Azure MCP CHANGELOG]: https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/blob/main/servers/Azure.Mcp.Server/CHANGELOG.md [Azure MCP Source Code]: https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/blob/main/servers/Azure.Mcp.Server [Azure MCP Releases]: https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/releases?q=Azure.Mcp.Server- [Azure MCP Documentation]: https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/developer/azure-mcp-server/ [Azure MCP Troubleshooting]: https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/blob/main/servers/Azure.Mcp.Server/TROUBLESHOOTING.md [Azure MCP Support]: https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/blob/main/servers/Azure.Mcp.Server/SUPPORT.md [Fabric MCP README]: https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/blob/main/servers/Fabric.Mcp.Server/README.md [Fabric MCP CHANGELOG]: https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/blob/main/servers/Fabric.Mcp.Server/CHANGELOG.md [Fabric MCP Source Code]: https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/blob/main/servers/Fabric.Mcp.Server [Fabric MCP Releases]: https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/releases?q=Fabric.Mcp.Server- [Fabric Documentation]: https://learn.microsoft.com/fabric/ [Fabric MCP Troubleshooting]: https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/blob/main/servers/Fabric.Mcp.Server/TROUBLESHOOTING.md [Fabric MCP Support]: https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/blob/main/servers/Fabric.Mcp.Server/SUPPORT.md ## 📚 Which MCP Servers are available from Microsoft? ### <img height="18" width="18" src="https://cdn-dynmedia-1.microsoft.com/is/content/microsoftcorp/acom_social_icon_azure" alt="Microsoft Azure Logo" /> Azure - **REPOSITORY**: [microsoft/mcp](https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/tree/main/servers/Azure.Mcp.Server#readme) - **DESCRIPTION**: All Azure MCP tools in a single server.
