Azure Kubernetes Service tools for the Azure MCP Server

Use the Azure MCP Server to manage Azure resources, including Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters, with natural language prompts. You can quickly manage your container workloads without remembering complex syntax.

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a managed container orchestration service that simplifies Kubernetes deployment and management. AKS provides serverless Kubernetes, integrated CI/CD, and enterprise-grade security and governance. With AKS, you focus on application development instead of infrastructure management.

Note

The Azure MCP Server tools define parameters for data they need to complete tasks. Some of these parameters are specific to each tool and are documented below. Other parameters are global and shared by all tools. For more information, see Tool parameters.

Cluster: Get cluster details

Get or list Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. If a specific cluster name is provided, that cluster will be retrieved. Otherwise, all clusters are listed in the specified subscription. Returns detailed cluster information including configuration, network settings, and status.

Example prompts include:

  • Get cluster configuration: "Get the configuration of AKS cluster 'production-aks'"
  • Cluster details with resource group: "Show me the details of AKS cluster 'web-app-cluster' in resource group 'containers-rg'"
  • Network configuration: "Show me the network configuration for AKS cluster 'ml-workloads'"
  • Detailed cluster info: "What are the details of my AKS cluster 'dev-kubernetes' in 'development-rg'?"
  • List all clusters: "List all AKS clusters in my subscription"
  • Show clusters: "Show me my Azure Kubernetes Service clusters"
  • Cluster inventory: "What AKS clusters do I have?"
  • Production environment: "Get configuration details for AKS cluster 'prod-aks-001' in resource group 'production'"
  • Development setup: "Show me the setup of AKS cluster 'staging-aks' in 'staging-resources'"
  • Microservices cluster: "What's the configuration of AKS cluster 'microservices-cluster' in 'apps-rg'?"
Parameter Required or optional Description
Name Required The name of the AKS cluster to get details for.

Node pool: Get details for a specific node pool

Get or list Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) node pools (agent pools) in a cluster. If a specific node pool name is provided, that node pool is retrieved. Otherwise, all node pools are listed in the specified cluster. Returns key configuration and status including size, count, OS, mode, autoscaling, and provisioning state.

Example prompts include:

  • Get node pool details: "Get details for node pool 'agentpool1' in AKS cluster 'production-aks' in 'containers-rg'"
  • Node pool configuration: "Show me the configuration for node pool 'spotpool' in AKS cluster 'web-app-cluster' in resource group 'apps-rg'"
  • Setup information: "What is the setup of node pool 'gpu-pool' for AKS cluster 'ml-workloads' in 'ai-resources'?"
  • List all node pools: "List node pools for AKS cluster 'dev-kubernetes' in 'development-rg'"
  • Show node pool list: "Show me the node pool list for AKS cluster 'microservices-cluster' in 'production'"
  • Node pool inventory: "What node pools do I have for AKS cluster 'analytics-aks' in 'data-rg'?"
  • Production node pools: "Get details for node pool 'systempool' in AKS cluster 'prod-aks-001' in 'production-rg'"
  • User node pools: "Show configuration for node pool 'userpool' in AKS cluster 'staging-aks' in 'staging-resources'"
  • Specialized pools: "What's the setup of node pool 'gpupool' for AKS cluster 'training-cluster' in 'ml-rg'?"
  • Scale information: "List all node pools with scaling details for AKS cluster 'scalable-apps' in 'compute-rg'"
Parameter Required or optional Description
Cluster Required AKS cluster name.
Node pool Required AKS node pool (agent pool) name.
