azure-updates-mcp 0.2.0

MCP server for Azure Updates JSON API

Azure Updates MCP Server

mcp-name: io.github.jonnybottles/azure-updates

A Python-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides tools for querying and searching the Azure Updates RSS feed.

Requirements

General

• Python 3.9+
• An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, etc.)

Using uvx (Recommended)

If you are installing or running the server via uvx, you must have uv installed first.

• uv (includes uvx): https://github.com/astral-sh/uv

Install uv:

# macOS / Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex

Verify installation:

uv --version
uvx --version

uvx allows you to run the MCP server without installing the package globally.

Using pip (Alternative)

If you prefer not to use uvx, you can install the package directly with pip.

pip install azure-updates-mcp

In this case, uv / uvx is not required.

Optional (for development)

• git
• pytest
• ruff

---

Quick Install

One-click install: Click VS Code badge for automatic setup (requires uv installed) Manual install: See instructions below for Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot CLI, or Claude Desktop

Features

• azure_updates_search – Search and filter Azure updates by keyword, category, status, date range, or GUID
• azure_updates_summarize – Get statistical overview and trends of Azure updates

2. Search by keyword: "Find all Azure updates related to Kubernetes or AKS"
3. Filter by status: "What Azure features are currently in preview?"
4. Check for retirements: "Are there any upcoming Azure service retirements I should know about?"
