Azure Storage Services

Services

Service Use When MCP Tools CLI
Blob Storage Objects, files, backups, static content azure__storage az storage blob
File Shares SMB file shares, lift-and-shift - az storage file
Queue Storage Async messaging, task queues - az storage queue
Table Storage NoSQL key-value (consider Cosmos DB) - az storage table
Data Lake Big data analytics, hierarchical namespace - az storage fs

MCP Server (Preferred)

When Azure MCP is enabled:

  • azure__storage with command storage_account_list - List storage accounts
  • azure__storage with command storage_container_list - List containers in account
  • azure__storage with command storage_blob_list - List blobs in container
  • azure__storage with command storage_blob_get - Download blob content
  • azure__storage with command storage_blob_put - Upload blob content

If Azure MCP is not enabled: Run /azure:setup or enable via /mcp.

CLI Fallback

# List storage accounts
az storage account list --output table

# List containers
az storage container list --account-name ACCOUNT --output table

# List blobs
az storage blob list --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --output table

# Download blob
az storage blob download --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --name BLOB --file LOCAL_PATH

# Upload blob
az storage blob upload --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --name BLOB --file LOCAL_PATH

How to use this skill

1

Install azure-storage by running npx skills add microsoft/azure-skills --skill azure-storage in your project directory. Run the install command above in your project directory. The skill file will be downloaded from GitHub and placed in your project.

2

No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.

3

The skill enhances your agent's understanding of azure-storage, helping it follow established patterns, avoid common mistakes, and produce production-ready output.

What you get

Skills are plain-text instruction files — not executable code. They encode expert knowledge about frameworks, languages, or tools that your AI agent reads to improve its output. This means zero runtime overhead, no dependency conflicts, and full transparency: you can read and review every instruction before installing.

Compatibility

This skill works with any AI coding agent that supports the skills.sh format, including Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and other tools that read project-level context files. Skills are framework-agnostic at the transport level — the content inside determines which language or framework it applies to.

Data sourced from the skills.sh registry and GitHub. Install counts and security audits are updated regularly.
