Azure FastMCP Server

A FastMCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Azure discovery, inventory, and cost insights as MCP tools and resources. This server allows LLMs and MCP-compatible clients to safely query Azure Resource Graph, Subscription metadata, and Azure Cost Management using Service Principal authentication.

The server is designed to be deployed:

• Locally (Python)
• As a Docker container
• In FastMCP Cloud
