## AI coding tools
9
+
10
+
Several tools support AI-assisted development with the Azure SDK:
11
+
12
+
| Tool | Description |
13
+
|---|---|
14
+
|[VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/)| Code editor with built-in AI features and Copilot integration |
15
+
|[GitHub Copilot](https://github.com/features/copilot)| AI code completion and chat inside VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, and GitHub.com |
16
+
|[Copilot CLI](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/github-copilot-in-the-cli/about-github-copilot-in-the-cli)| AI assistance for shell commands and Azure CLI usage |
17
+
|[Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code)| Terminal-based AI coding agent from Anthropic |
18
+
|[Cursor](https://www.cursor.com/)| AI-first code editor with chat and inline editing |
19
+
|[Aider](https://aider.chat/)| Terminal-based AI pair programming tool |
20
+
21
+
This is not an exhaustive list — most AI coding tools that support chat or code generation can work with the Azure SDK.

## Azure MCP Server
24
+
25
+
The [Azure MCP Server](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/developer/azure-mcp-server/get-started) exposes Azure resource operations to AI tools through the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/).
26
+
This lets an AI coding agent query, create, and manage Azure resources directly during a conversation.
27
+
28
+
See the [getting started guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/developer/azure-mcp-server/get-started) for setup instructions.

## Azure SDK skills
31
+
32
+
The Microsoft skills marketplace provides Azure SDK skills that give AI agents context about Azure SDK conventions, code generation, and package management. These skills work with CLI-based AI tools that support plugins, such as Claude Code and Copilot CLI.
33
+
34
+
Install the Microsoft skills marketplace:
35
+
36
+
```
37
+
/plugin marketplace add Microsoft/skills
38
+
```
39
+
40
+
Install the Azure SDK skills plugin:
41
+
42
+
```
43
+
/plugin install azure-sdk-python@skills
44
+
```
45
+
46
+
Verify installation:
47
+
48
+
```
49
+
/plugin list
50
+
```
51
+
52
+
Update the plugin:
53
+
54
+
```
55
+
/plugin update azure-sdk-python@skills
56
+
```
57
+
58
+
Skills provide domain-specific context that helps AI tools generate more accurate SDK code.

+
