CdnManagementClient Claude Desktop Integration

This guide explains how to configure Claude Desktop (Mac and Windows) to use the CdnManagementClient API through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The integration exposes 10 API endpointsas callable tools inside Claude's chat interface, including Check the availability of a resource name without creating the resource. This is needed for resources where name is globally unique, such as a CDN endpoint., Lists all of the available CDN REST API operations., Lists the CDN profiles within an Azure subscription., and more. No API keys or credentials are needed — setup takes approximately 30 seconds. The server runs locally via npx and communicates over STDIO transport. Paste the JSON configuration below into your claude_desktop_config.json file to get started.
