MCP server for Azure Data Explorer integration

Azure Data Explorer MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Azure Data Explorer/Eventhouse in Microsoft Fabric.

This provides access to your Azure Data Explorer/Eventhouse clusters and databases through standardized MCP interfaces, allowing AI assistants to execute KQL queries and explore your data.

Features

• Execute KQL queries against Azure Data Explorer

• Discover and explore database resources

  • List tables in the configured database
  • View table schemas
  • Sample data from tables
  • Get table statistics/details

• Authentication support

  • Token credential support (Azure CLI, MSI, etc.)

• Docker containerization support

• Provide interactive tools for AI assistants

The list of tools is configurable, so you can choose which tools you want to make available to the MCP client. This is useful if you don't use certain functionality or if you don't want to take up too much of the context window.

Usage

1. Login to your Azure account which has the permission to the ADX cluster using Azure CLI.

2. Configure the environment variables for your ADX cluster, either through a .env file or system environment variables:

# Required: Azure Data Explorer configuration
ADX_CLUSTER_URL=https://yourcluster.region.kusto.windows.net
ADX_DATABASE=your_database

3. Add the server configuration to your client configuration file. For example, for Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adx": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "<full path to adx-mcp-server directory>",
        "run",
        "src/adx_mcp_server/main.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ADX_CLUSTER_URL": "https://yourcluster.region.kusto.windows.net",
        "ADX_DATABASE": "your_database"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: if you see Error: spawn uv ENOENT in Claude Desktop, you may need to specify the full path to uv or set the environment variable NO_UV=1 in the configuration.

Docker Usage

This project includes Docker support for easy deployment and isolation.

Building the Docker Image

Build the Docker image using:

docker build -t adx-mcp-server .

Running with Docker

You can run the server using Docker in several ways:

Using docker run directly:

docker run -it --rm \
  -e ADX_CLUSTER_URL=https://yourcluster.region.kusto.windows.net \
  -e ADX_DATABASE=your_database \
  adx-mcp-server

Using docker-compose:

Create a .env file with your Azure Data Explorer credentials and then run:

docker-compose up

Running with Docker in Claude Desktop

To use the containerized server with Claude Desktop, update the configuration to use Docker with the environment variables:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adx": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "-e", "ADX_CLUSTER_URL",
        "-e", "ADX_DATABASE",
        "adx-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ADX_CLUSTER_URL": "https://yourcluster.region.kusto.windows.net",
        "ADX_DATABASE": "your_database"
      }
    }
  }
}

This configuration passes the environment variables from Claude Desktop to the Docker container by using the -e flag with just the variable name, and providing the actual values in the env object.

Using as a Dev Container / GitHub Codespace

This repository can also be used as a development container for a seamless development experience. The dev container setup is located in the devcontainer-feature/adx-mcp-server folder.

For more details, check the devcontainer README.

Development

Contributions are welcome! Please open an issue or submit a pull request if you have any suggestions or improvements.

This project uses uv to manage dependencies. Install uv following the instructions for your platform:

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

You can then create a virtual environment and install the dependencies with:

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Unix/macOS
.venv\Scripts\activate     # On Windows
uv pip install -e .
