Azure Machine Learning Compute Management Client Claude Desktop Integration

This guide explains how to configure Claude Desktop (Mac and Windows) to use the Azure Machine Learning Compute Management Client API through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The integration exposes 10 API endpointsas callable tools inside Claude's chat interface, including MachineLearningCompute_ListAvailableOperations, OperationalizationClusters_ListBySubscriptionId, OperationalizationClusters_ListByResourceGroup, 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.

Setup Instructions

1

Open Claude Settings

Launch Claude Desktop, open Settings (click your profile) → Developer → click 'Edit Config'.

2

Locate configuration file

This opens your local 'claude_desktop_config.json' file in your system editor.

3

Insert Server Config JSON

Paste the JSON configuration schema block (provided below) into the 'mcpServers' object.

4

Add authentication credentials

No credentials needed; leave the 'env' mapping empty.

5

Restart Claude app

Save the config file and restart Claude Desktop to load your new tools.

Configuration JSON

    }
  }
}

Required Environment Keys

Provide these variable keys in your local environment section:

AZURE_MACHINE_LEARNING_COMPUTE_MANAGEMENT_CLIENT_API_KEY

Replace your_azure_machine_learning_compute_management_client_api_key with your secret key credentials.
