Azure Pricing MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to the Azure Retail Prices API. Query, compare, and analyze Azure pricing data directly from GitHub Copilot, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients — no API key required.

Tools

Tool	Description
query_azure_prices	Query Azure retail prices with filters for service, region, SKU, price type, currency, and more. Supports custom OData filter expressions for advanced queries.
compare_vm_prices	Compare Virtual Machine prices across regions or between SKU sizes for cost optimization.
get_service_families	List all available Azure service families (Compute, Storage, Databases, Networking, etc.).
get_reservation_prices	Get 1-year and 3-year reserved instance pricing for any service or SKU.
get_service_families	List resources within a select service family.

Setup

Prerequisites

• Node.js v18 or later

Install & Build

git clone https://github.com/kyjones03/AzurePriceMCP.git
cd AzurePriceMCP
npm install
npm run build

Integration with GitHub Copilot

VS Code

Add the following to your VS Code settings.json (user or workspace) or .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "azure-pricing": {
        "type": "stdio",
        "command": "node",
        "args": ["/absolute/path/to/AzurePriceMCP/dist/index.js"]
      }
    }
  }
}

Tip: Replace /absolute/path/to/AzurePriceMCP with the actual path where you cloned the repository.

Once configured, the Azure Pricing tools will be available to GitHub Copilot in agent mode. You can invoke them by asking Copilot questions like:

• "What's the price of a Standard_D2s_v3 VM in East US?"
• "Compare VM prices between eastus and westeurope."
• "Show me reservation pricing for SQL Database in eastus."
• "What Azure service families are available?"
• "What resources exist in the developer tools service family?"

Example Queries

Query prices for a specific VM SKU

"How much does a Standard_D4s_v5 cost per hour in westus2?"

Compare regions

"Compare the price of Standard_E8s_v5 VMs across eastus, westeurope, and southeastasia."

Reservation savings

"Show me 1-year and 3-year reservation prices for Standard_D2s_v3 in eastus."

Filter by service family

"List storage prices in eastus under $0.05 per GB."

Show resources in a service family

"List the resources in the compute family."
