This Python-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server connects AI assistants like Claude to [Azure Updates](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/), enabling you to search and filter Azure service announcements, feature releases, preview launches, and retirement notices—all through conversational queries.\n\n## What It Does\n\nAzure Updates MCP Server bridges the gap between Azure's official updates feed and your AI assistant, allowing you to:\n\n- **Search updates by keyword** - Ask about specific services, technologies, or features (e.g., \"What's new with Azure Kubernetes Service?\")\n- **Filter by status** - Find what's in Preview, Generally Available, or being Retired\n- **Track deprecations** - Stay ahead of service retirements and breaking changes\n- **Discover categories** - Explore available Azure products and services through faceted search\n- **Query by date range** - Find updates within specific timeframes\n- **Look up by GUID** - Retrieve specific announcements directly\n\nPerfect for developers, cloud architects, and IT professionals who need to monitor Azure platform evolution, plan migrations, or stay informed about new capabilities—without manually checking the Azure updates website.\n\n## Requirements\n\n### General\n\n- **Python 3.9+**\n- An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, etc.)\n\n### Using `uvx` (Recommended)\n\nIf you are installing or running the server via **`uvx`**, you must have **uv** installed first.\n\n- **uv** (includes `uvx`): https://github.com/astral-sh/uv\n\nInstall uv:\n\n```bash\n# macOS / Linux\ncurl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh\n\n# Windows (PowerShell)\nirm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex\n```\n\nVerify installation:\n\n```bash\nuv --version\nuvx --version\n```\n\n> `uvx` allows you to run the MCP server without installing the package globally.\n\n### Using pip (Alternative)\n\nIf you prefer not to use `uvx`, you can install the package directly with pip.\n\n```bash\npip install azure-updates-mcp\n```\n\nIn this case, `uv` / `uvx` is **not required**.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Install from PyPI\n\n```bash\nuvx azure-updates-mcp\n```\n\nOr install with pip:\n\n```bash\npip install azure-updates-mcp\n```\n\n### Upgrade to Latest Version\n\n```bash\nuvx azure-updates-mcp@latest\n```\n\nOr with pip:\n\n```bash\npip install --upgrade azure-updates-mcp\n```\n\n\n## Quick Setup\n\n[![Set up in VS Code](https://img.shields.io/badge/Set_up_in-VS_Code-0078d4?style=flat-square&logo=visualstudiocode)](https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=azure-updates-mcp&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%20%22stdio%22%2C%20%22command%22%3A%20%22uvx%22%2C%20%22args%22%3A%20%5B%22azure-updates-mcp%22%5D%7D)\n[![Set up in Cursor](https://img.shields.io/badge/Set_up_in-Cursor-000000?style=flat-square&logo=cursor)](https://cursor.com/docs/context/mcp)\n[![Set up in Claude Code](https://img.shields.io/badge/Set_up_in-Claude_Code-9b6bff?style=flat-square&logo=anthropic)](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp)\n[![Set up in Copilot CLI](https://img.shields.io/badge/Set_up_in-Copilot_CLI-28a745?style=flat-square&logo=github)](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/use-copilot-cli)\n\n> **One-click setup:** Click the VS Code badge for automatic configuration (requires `uv` installed)\n> **Manual setup:** See instructions below for Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot CLI, or Claude Desktop\n\n## Features\n\n- **azure_updates_search** – Search and filter Azure updates by keyword, category, status, date range, or GUID. Set `include_facets=True` to get taxonomy counts (product categories, products, tags, statuses). Use `limit=0` with `include_facets=True` to discover available filter values.\n\n## Prompt Examples\n\nOnce connected to an MCP client, you can ask questions like:\n\n1. **Get recent updates**: \"Show me the 10 most recent Azure updates\"\n2. **Search by keyword**: \"Find all Azure updates related to Kubernetes or AKS\"\n3. **Filter by status**: \"What Azure features are currently in preview?\"\n4. **Check for retirements**: \"Are there any upcoming Azure service retirements I should know about?\"\n5. **Discover categories**: \"What Azure product categories and services are available in the updates?\"\n\n## Usage\n\n### Run the MCP Server\n\n```bash\nuvx azure-updates-mcp\n```\n\nOr if installed with pip:\n\n```bash\nazure-updates-mcp\n```\n\n### Connect from Claude Desktop\n\nAdd to your Claude Desktop MCP config:\n\n- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`\n- Windows: `%APPDATA%\\Claude\\claude_desktop_config.json`\n\n**Using uvx (recommended)**\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"azure-updates\": {\n      \"command\": \"uvx\",\n      \"args\": [\"azure-updates-mcp\"]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n**Using installed package**\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"azure-updates\": {\n      \"command\": \"azure-updates-mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Connect from Cursor\n\n**Option 1: One-Click Install (Recommended)**\n\n```\ncursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=azure-updates-mcp&config=eyJjb21tYW5kIjogInV2eCIsICJhcmdzIjogWyJhenVyZS11cGRhdGVzLW1jcCJdfQ==\n```\n\n**Option 2: Manual Configuration**\n\nAdd to your Cursor MCP config:\n\n- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json`\n- Windows: `%APPDATA%\\Cursor\\User\\globalStorage\\saoudrizwan.claude-dev\\settings\\cline_mcp_settings.json`\n\n### Connect from Claude Code\n\n```bash\nclaude mcp add --transport stdio azure-updates -- uvx azure-updates-mcp\n```\n\n### Connect from GitHub Copilot CLI\n\nAdd to `~/.copilot/mcp-config.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"azure-updates\": {\n      \"type\": \"stdio\",\n      \"command\": \"uvx\",\n      \"args\": [\"azure-updates-mcp\"]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## Development\n\n```bash\npytest\nruff check src/ tests/\n```\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n",
