Azure.Mcp.Server 2.0.0

🚀 New Major Release — Azure MCP Server 2.0.0

We're thrilled to announce the second major release of the Azure MCP Server! Version 2.0 represents a significant evolution from the 1.0 release, bringing remote HTTP deployment, dramatically expanded Azure service coverage, comprehensive security hardening, and major performance improvements. This release spans 40 beta iterations and hundreds of contributions.

Key Features & Improvements

• Deploy as a Remote MCP Server: Deploy the Azure MCP Server as a shared, multi-user HTTP service with Entra ID authentication and On-Behalf-Of (OBO) authorization
• Use with Sovereign Clouds: Full support for Azure Government and Azure operated by 21Vianet Cloud (Azure in China) clouds across multiple services
• More Docker Options: AMD64 and ARM64 images are now available. Trimmed binaries cut image size by ~60% compared to initial Docker builds
• New Installation Methods: Added two new distribution formats:
  • PyPI: With UVX support for Python/uv-based workflows
  • MCP Bundles (.mcpb): A portable format compatible with Claude Desktop
• Security Hardening: Comprehensive input validation, SSRF protection, SQL/KQL injection prevention, query parameterization, and endpoint validation across all services
• User Confirmation Prompts: Added user confirmation prompts for sensitive and destructive operations via MCP elicitation
• Foundry Integration: Added integration with the external Microsoft Foundry MCP server (https://mcp.ai.azure.com) providing agent lifecycle, batch evaluation, prompt optimization, and project connection management tools
• More Tools: Increased tool coverage from 170+ to 260+ across 50+ services, including the following new namespaces:
  • Azure Advisor – advisor
  • Azure Compute – compute
  • Azure Container Apps – containerapps
  • Azure Device Registry – deviceregistry
  • Azure File Shares – fileshares
  • Azure Functions – functions
  • Azure Migrate – azuremigrate
  • Azure Policy – policy
  • Azure Pricing – pricing
  • Azure Service Fabric – servicefabric
  • Azure Storage Sync – storagesync
  • Azure Well-Architected Framework – wellarchitectedframework
• Improved Performance: Server startup reduced from ~20s to ~1-2s when proxied MCP servers are enabled (Microsoft Documentation, Azure Developer CLI, Microsoft Foundry)
