Service Map MCP Server

The Service Map API, provided by Microsoft as part of the Azure Monitor suite within Microsoft.

Quick Start Summary

The Service Map MCP server is a Model Context Protocol bridge that connects AI assistants — including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot — to the Service Map API through natural language. It exposes 10 API endpoints as callable tools, such as ClientGroups_Get, ClientGroups_ListMembers, ClientGroups_GetMembersCount, 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-service-map-arm-service-map. This integration is sourced from the auto Service Map OpenAPI specification (v2015-11-01-preview) and has a quality score of 34/99 (fair documentation coverage).

📖 Detailed MCP Integration Guide

A technical breakdown of capabilities, agent workflows, and security/configuration best practices.

⚡Capabilities & Use Cases
The Service Map API, provided by Microsoft as part of the Azure Monitor suite within Microsoft.OperationalInsights, is a sophisticated RESTful service designed for dynamic infrastructure discovery and dependency visualization. Its core capability is to automatically construct and expose a real-time, topological map of applications and their underlying infrastructure components across complex enterprise environments. This map is built by analyzing telemetry from connected machines and agents, identifying processes, ports, and network connections to illustrate precise service-to-service and service-to-machine relationships. The API empowers developers and IT operations teams to programmatically interact with this discovered topology, moving beyond static configuration databases to a living representation of system architecture. Primary use cases include automated impact analysis for incident response (e.g., "Which downstream services are affected if this SQL server goes down?"), intelligent cloud migration planning by understanding application dependencies, and continuous verification of infrastructure changes against the documented service map.
🤖AI Agent Value
Exposing the Service Map API as a toolset via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides immense value to AI coding assistants by granting them contextual awareness of the operational environment. This transforms the assistant from a generic code generator into an infrastructure-aware partner. An AI agent equipped with these tools can understand the runtime topology it is writing code for, enabling it to generate configurations, troubleshooting scripts, or deployment manifests that are inherently aligned with the actual system layout. For instance, the AI can dynamically retrieve the members of a specific clientGroupName to ensure a new firewall rule configuration correctly targets the right process set, or it can query the machines endpoint to verify the connectivity prerequisites for a service it is being asked to containerize. This context allows the AI to make informed suggestions, validate assumptions, and automate tasks that require real-time system knowledge, thereby reducing cognitive load and preventing errors stemming from outdated documentation.
💬Example Workflows
In a practical workflow, a developer can instruct an AI coding assistant to perform a range of dynamic, infrastructure-aware tasks using the MCP server. For example, a user could request, "AI agent, generate a PowerShell script that identifies all Windows machines in the 'Production' machine group and checks the status of the 'WindowsUpdate' service," prompting the agent to first use the GET .../machineGroups endpoint to resolve the group and then leverage the machine details from GET .../machines to construct the script. Another task might be, "Analyze the blast radius of decommissioning 'ServiceX' by creating a machine group for its dependent clients," which would instruct the agent to use POST .../generateMap or query existing clientGroups to identify dependencies, and then potentially use the POST .../machineGroups endpoint to create a new, tracked group for this purpose. The agent could also be told to "Update the 'Staging-DB' machine group to include the newly provisioned database server," using PUT .../machineGroups/{machineGroupName} with the correct membership list derived from querying the available machines.
🛡️Security & Auth
Secure implementation of this MCP server demands strict adherence to Azure RBAC and API security best practices. Although the endpoint authentication method is noted as "None" for the base reference, production deployment must enforce OAuth 2.0 token-based authentication via Azure Active Directory, with every request validated against the caller's identity and permissions. Developers should assign the principle of least privilege, using built-in roles like "Log Analytics Reader" for read-only map analysis or "Log Analytics Contributor" for management tasks like creating machine groups. The server must enforce HTTPS for all communication, validate all input parameters to prevent injection attacks, and implement proper authorization checks to ensure a user can only interact with resources within their authorized subscriptions and resource groups. Configuration guidelines should include setting up a dedicated service principal for the AI agent, securing any API keys or tokens in a vault, and thoroughly scoping permissions to the specific workspace and feature area to minimize the potential blast radius of any compromised credentials.

Box Platform API

The Box Platform API, provided by Box (box.com), is a robust and comprehensive RESTful service that enables deep integration with the Box cloud content management ecosystem. It serves as the programmatic backbone for enterprises and developers seeking to build custom applications and workflows that interact with content stored securely in Box. Its core capabilities extend far beyond basic file operations, encompassing a full spectrum of content lifecycle management. Developers can programmatically create, upload, download, search, and manage files and folders, but the API's true power lies in its enterprise-grade features. These include advanced collaboration management through invitations and permissions, granular user and group administration within an enterprise directory, and sophisticated security and compliance controls. Specific endpoint groups for managing collaboration whitelists and exempt targets allow for precise governance over external sharing policies, ensuring that content is only shared with approved domains. Furthermore, the API facilitates complex legal and compliance use cases, such as placing items on legal hold or applying retention policies, making it an indispensable tool for regulated industries and large organizations.

Asana

This API serves as the programmatic backbone for the Asana work management platform, provided by Asana, Inc. It enables developers to interact programmatically with one of the world's leading enterprise collaboration and productivity suites. The core capabilities of this interface center around the CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for fundamental Asana objects. Specifically, the provided endpoints grant control over project attachments—allowing for the uploading, retrieval, and management of files associated with tasks and projects—and custom fields, which are pivotal for creating structured, data-rich workflows. These custom fields allow organizations to define unique data types (like dropdown menus, text fields, or dates) to standardize information capture across projects, moving beyond basic task lists to true operational tracking. Typical use cases span from enterprise project management offices (PMOs) needing to programmatically generate status reports and audit attachments, to development teams automating the creation of bug-tracking projects with predefined custom fields for severity and status, to operational leaders building dashboards that aggregate and analyze custom field data for resource allocation insights.
