Add Azure services to an application
When implementing authentication, storage, messaging, or AI features, choose the SDK plugin for your language. Its skills provide library-specific patterns for client setup, service operations, and integration.
Overview
Microsoft’s Agent Skills marketplace adds Azure SDK guidance, cloud workflows, and repository documentation tools to coding agents. Choose the plugins relevant to your project: language plugins cover SDK patterns, Azure plugins guide infrastructure work, and Deep Wiki turns source code into documentation with diagrams and citations.
Agents can select relevant skills from your request. Deep Wiki also provides commands you invoke explicitly for tasks such as generating a wiki or investigating a component. Bundled MCP connections and telemetry hooks depend on the plugin and client you choose; adding the marketplace alone does not install its plugins.
Use Cases
Prepare an application for Azure
Assess deployment blockers, plan the Azure services an application needs, and prepare its infrastructure. The Azure workflows distinguish app onboarding from projects that already use Azure Developer CLI.
Investigate an AKS incident
Use the AKS skills to investigate pod, node, networking, or GPU inference problems. General incident triage starts with read-only evidence; packet capture is a separate workflow for incidents that need wire-level investigation.
Understand an unexpected Azure bill
Use cost analysis to investigate actual spending and bill changes. Separate skills handle forecasts, resource optimization, and budgets, so a billing investigation does not become an unrelated provisioning or governance task.
Document an unfamiliar codebase
Use Deep Wiki to map repository architecture, write component explanations, and produce onboarding guides with source citations. Generate a complete wiki or focus on a single topic.
Make documents searchable by an agent
Use Foundry IQ to create or query a knowledge base from supported document sources and connect it to an existing agent. SDK search skills cover application-level indexing and vector or hybrid search.
Components
Skills are grouped by the plugin to install. Use each description to choose a task; Deep Wiki’s commands offer explicit entry points for documentation work.
Telemetry hooks
The AKS, Advisor, Cost, Kusto, Azure Local, Azure, and Foundry IQ plugins include telemetry hooks. Their client-specific configurations load with the plugin. Session hooks report session metadata; tool hooks filter for matching skill, reference-file, or Azure MCP activity. Reporting depends on the installed plugin’s metadata and your telemetry setting.
To stop these scripts from collecting telemetry, set the environment variable AZURE_MCP_COLLECT_TELEMETRY to false for the process running your agent. The hook checks this before writing diagnostic logs or starting its telemetry publisher.
For optional script diagnostics, set AZURE_SKILLS_TELEMETRY_LOG_DIR to a local folder. It receives raw hook input and a telemetry log, which can contain tool arguments and paths. Leave it unset unless you need those diagnostics.
- Claude Code: inspect the session’s hooks browser to confirm registration. Plugin changes load through the plugin reload action. To stop a plugin’s hooks, disable the plugin in its Installed panel and apply the pending change. See Claude Code hooks.
- GitHub Copilot CLI: start a new session after hook configuration changes and inspect the loaded environment for hooks and plugins. The repository-level disable-all-hooks setting also covers plugin hooks, with policy hooks excepted. See Copilot hooks.
- VS Code with the Copilot harness: open Customizations → Hooks to inspect sources, then use a disposable session and agent debug logs to check execution. Disable the owning plugin in Customizations → Plugins to stop its hooks. See VS Code hooks.
- Cursor: inspect Customize → Hooks and the Hooks output channel for configuration, execution, and errors. Configuration changes reload automatically; restart Cursor if they do not appear. Use the telemetry environment setting above to stop these scripts’ reporting. See Cursor hooks.

Install
Add the marketplace, then install the plugins you need. Each selected plugin installs as a package; you do not need to install its commands, agents, or hooks separately.
Claude Code
Choose complete plugins from the skills marketplace. For plugins that start Azure MCP, have Node.js 22 or later available and use a trusted device with trusted npm configuration. Azure operations also need an Azure identity with access to the intended resources.
The Azure operations plugins include telemetry hooks. To opt out before they run, set AZURE_MCP_COLLECT_TELEMETRY to false in Claude Code’s process environment.
- 01
In your Claude Code session, add Microsoft’s marketplace.
/plugin marketplace add microsoft/skills - 02
Open the plugin panel. In Discover, choose a plugin from skills, review it, select its installation scope, and install it.
/pluginChoose Deep Wiki for repository documentation, azure for Azure workflows, or the azure-sdk plugin matching your language. The marketplace also offers AKS, Advisor, Cost, Kusto, Azure Local, and Foundry IQ plugins.
- 03
If the panel reports Active now, continue to the check below. If it reports Reload needed, it closes and runs a reload automatically. If Claude Code warns that the plugin remains pending, restart Claude Code or run the following command in your session to activate it; forcing the reload costs one uncached request.
/reload-plugins --force - 04
Confirm the plugin is enabled in Installed and that its skills appear in the slash menu. For a plugin with MCP servers, also inspect the MCP connection view and complete any requested authentication. Confirm the intended Azure account before using resource tools.
For Azure MCP authentication, use the Azure MCP setup guidance. Plugin loading and installation scopes are covered in Claude Code’s install guide.
Use VS Code’s Preview marketplace controls to add Microsoft’s marketplace and install the plugins you need.
For plugins that start Azure MCP, have Node.js 22 or later and trusted npm configuration. To opt out of Azure plugin hook telemetry, set AZURE_MCP_COLLECT_TELEMETRY to false in the agent process environment before starting the session.
