Azure Data Explorer MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Azure Data Explorer.

This provides access to your Azure Data Explorer clusters and databases through standardized MCP interfaces, allowing AI assistants to execute KQL queries and explore your data.

Features

• Execute KQL queries against Azure Data Explorer

• Discover and explore database resources

  • List tables in the configured database
  • View table schemas
  • Sample data from tables

• Authentication support

  • Client credentials from environment variables

• Provide interactive tools for AI assistants

The list of tools is configurable, so you can choose which tools you want to make available to the MCP client. This is useful if you don't use certain functionality or if you don't want to take up too much of the context window.

Usage

1. Create a service account in Azure Data Explorer with appropriate permissions, or ensure you have access through your Azure account.

2. Configure the environment variables for your ADX cluster, either through a .env file or system environment variables:

env
# Required: Azure Data Explorer configuration
ADX_CLUSTER_URL=https://yourcluster.region.kusto.windows.net
ADX_DATABASE=your_database

# Optional: Azure authentication (if not using default credentials)
AZURE_TENANT_ID=your_tenant_id
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret

3. Add the server configuration to your client configuration file. For example, for Claude Desktop:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adx": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "<full path to adx-mcp-server directory>",
        "run",
        "src/adx_mcp_server/main.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ADX_CLUSTER_URL": "https://yourcluster.region.kusto.windows.net",
        "ADX_DATABASE": "your_database"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: if you see Error: spawn uv ENOENT in Claude Desktop, you may need to specify the full path to uv or set the environment variable NO_UV=1 in the configuration.

Development

Contributions are welcome! Please open an issue or submit a pull request if you have any suggestions or improvements.

This project uses uv to manage dependencies. Install uv following the instructions for your platform:

bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

You can then create a virtual environment and install the dependencies with:

bash
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Unix/macOS
.venv\Scripts\activate     # On Windows
uv pip install -e .
