FeatureClient MCP Server

The FeatureClient API is the programmatic interface for Azure Feature Exposure Control (AFEC), a core platform service provided by Microsoft Azure.

Quick Start Summary

The FeatureClient MCP server is a Model Context Protocol bridge that connects AI assistants — including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot — to the FeatureClient API through natural language. It exposes 5 API endpoints as callable tools, such as ListOperations, Features_ListAll, Features_List, and more. No authentication is required — setup takes approximately 30 seconds. The server uses STDIO transport and can be installed by running npx -y @mcp/azure-com-resources-features. This integration is sourced from the auto FeatureClient OpenAPI specification (v2015-12-01) and has a quality score of 28/99 (fair documentation coverage).

Capabilities & Use Cases
The FeatureClient API is the programmatic interface for Azure Feature Exposure Control (AFEC), a core platform service provided by Microsoft Azure. It serves as the central mechanism through which Azure resource providers manage the lifecycle of feature flags, enabling a controlled and phased rollout of new functionalities across the Azure ecosystem. Its primary capability is to allow resource providers to define features as toggleable flags within their namespaces, and then expose or restrict access to these features on a per-subscription basis. This system is fundamental to Azure's release management strategy, allowing for private previews among designated customers and public previews to gather broader feedback before a feature attains General Availability (GA). Enterprise use cases are centered on risk mitigation and quality assurance; for instance, a team developing a new compute feature can use AFEC to allow only specific internal subscriptions and a handful of trusted partner subscriptions to access the capability, gathering performance and compatibility data in a real environment without impacting the general user base. For the end-user or enterprise developer, it provides the essential "opt-in" control, allowing them to explicitly request access to preview features that may be beneficial for their workloads, thereby enabling early adoption and feedback loops with the service engineering teams.
🤖AI Agent Value
When exposed as tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to an AI coding assistant, the FeatureClient API transforms from a set of management endpoints into a powerful agent for intelligent infrastructure and feature planning. The value lies in the AI's ability to dynamically query and reason about the current feature state of a user's Azure environment. Instead of a developer manually navigating the Azure Portal or scripting with Azure CLI to discover available previews, the AI assistant can seamlessly act as an intermediary. It can programmatically list all enabled or available features for a subscription, cross-reference them with a project's requirements, and advise on which previews might offer performance benefits or new capabilities. Furthermore, it can automate the administrative workflow of registering for a feature preview, transforming a manual, multi-step process into a single, intent-driven command. This integration empowers developers to maintain a more aware and optimized cloud environment, where feature adoption becomes an automated part of the development lifecycle rather than a separate administrative task.
💬Example Workflows
In practice, a developer can instruct their AI coding agent to perform a variety of dynamic tasks. For example, they could ask, "List all available preview features for my subscription under the Microsoft.Compute provider," allowing the AI to retrieve and summarize what's in preview, helping the developer plan for upcoming migration or modernization work. Another workflow could involve the instruction, "Register my subscription for the 'newDiskEncryption' feature in the Microsoft.Compute namespace to test it with my current project." The AI agent would then invoke the appropriate POST endpoint to register the feature, providing immediate feedback on success or failure. This is particularly valuable in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) or CI/CD pipelines, where an AI could be tasked with ensuring a required feature flag is enabled before deploying a template that depends on it, creating a more self-aware and adaptable automation process.
🛡️Security & Auth
Crucially, developers must understand that while the API endpoints themselves may not require OAuth in a test harness, production use via MCP servers mandates rigorous security practices. The AI agent performing these actions must authenticate to Azure with valid credentials, typically an Azure Active Directory (now Microsoft Entra ID) service principal or managed identity. Adherence to the principle of least privilege is non-negotiable; the identity should be granted only the specific role required, such as the built-in "Reader" role at the subscription level for querying features, or a custom role with the "Microsoft.Features/features/read" and "Microsoft.Features/features/write" permissions for registration actions. The MCP server configuration must securely store any required authentication tokens or client secrets, avoiding hardcoding. Developers should also implement scope controls, potentially limiting the AI's access to specific resource provider namespaces or subscriptions, to prevent unintended feature registrations across a large organizational estate.

Access Analyzer MCP Setup

The AWS Identity and Access Management Access Analyzer API provides a powerful, policy-as-code service that automatically identifies resources accessible from outside your AWS account or organization. At its core, the service continuously evaluates resource-based policies—such as Amazon S3 bucket policies, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles, Amazon KMS key policies, and AWS Lambda function policies—using logic-based reasoning to determine which resources grant access to unknown external principals. Its primary use case is for security and compliance teams within enterprises to proactively detect unintended data exposure, enforce least privilege principles, and audit cross-account and cross-service access. The API endpoints allow programmatic control to create, configure, and query analyzers, manage archive rules for storing findings, and generate custom policy documents, making it a foundational tool for automating cloud security posture management at scale.
