MCP Server (Preferred)

When Azure MCP is enabled:

  • azure__storage with command storage_account_list - List storage accounts
  • azure__storage with command storage_container_list - List containers in account
  • azure__storage with command storage_blob_list - List blobs in container
  • azure__storage with command storage_blob_get - Download blob content
  • azure__storage with command storage_blob_put - Upload blob content

If Azure MCP is not enabled: In Copilot CLI or Claude Code, ask the user to run /mcp and enable Azure MCP; in other hosts, ask the user to enable Azure MCP through the host's MCP configuration.

CLI Fallback

# List storage accounts
az storage account list --output table

# List containers
az storage container list --account-name ACCOUNT --output table

# List blobs
az storage blob list --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --output table

# Download blob
