A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with real-time access to Azure retail pricing information. Query VM prices, compare costs across regions, estimate monthly bills, and discover available SKUs—all through natural language.
🚀 Quick Start
# Clone and setup git clone https://github.com/msftnadavbh/AzurePricingMCP.git cd AzurePricingMCP python -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate pip install -r requirements.txt # Test the server python -m azure_pricing_mcp
Then configure your AI assistant. See Integrations.
✨ Features
- Price Search - Query Azure prices with flexible filters
- Price Comparison - Compare costs across regions or SKUs
- Cost Estimation - Calculate monthly/yearly costs
- Reserved Instances - Compare RI pricing with break-even analysis
- Region Recommendations - Find the cheapest regions for any SKU
- SKU Discovery - Fuzzy matching for service names
- Retirement Warnings - Alerts for retiring VM SKUs
- Spot VM Intelligence - Eviction rates and price history (requires Azure auth)

Questions
What is the Azure Pricing MCP server?
An MCP server for Microsoft Azure pricing that goes beyond the Azure Pricing Calculator, with programmatic cost estimates plus FinOps features like Spot price and savings analysis, and detection of orphaned or underutilized resources.
What tools does Azure Pricing expose?
11 in total: 11 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Azure Pricing safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does Azure Pricing need?
No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.
How does Azure Pricing run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on PyPI as azure-pricing-mcp.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (fab811821bb6), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
