azure-mcp-cost-and-capacity

azure-mcp-cost-and-capacity is a skill for Claude Code from WYRE-AI/msp-claude-plugins. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,236 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only Azure reference for subscription inventory, resource groups, public prices, and quota usage. Retail prices are published rates, not a record of what Azure actually billed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list accessible subscriptions and resource groups, look up Azure meter prices, and check quota usage and remaining capacity.
Why use it?
It helps answer cost and capacity questions without confusing public estimates with invoices or unrelated Microsoft 365 licensing data.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

azure-mcp-cost-and-capacity scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Azure Cost & Capacity

This skill covers the cost, capacity, and inventory side of the azure-mcp connector: the pricing, quota, subscription, and group namespaces. All four are read-only — they answer "what would this cost", "do we have headroom", and "what exists", never "provision this".

Tool names follow the Azure MCP Server's namespace convention (azmcp / azure_mcp prefixes, grouped under pricing, quota, subscription, group). Invoke them by capability.

Anti-triggers

  • What the customer was actually billedpricing returns public retail rates, never invoiced consumption. CSP invoices and margin sit in pax8 or sherweb.
  • Where the money is being wasted — cost optimisation findings come from Azure Advisor; use azure-mcp-observability.
  • M365 seat counts and licence costs — use cipp-licenses.

Namespace surface

subscription — subscription inventory

Lists the Azure subscriptions the connected service principal can see, with their IDs, display names, and state (Enabled, Disabled, Warned). This is almost always the first call in any workflow — nearly every other namespace needs a subscription ID for scope.

group — resource-group inventory

Lists and inspects resource groups within a subscription: name, location, tags, and provisioning state. Use it to map the shape of an environment, find resources by tag, or pick the right scope for a pricing or quota question.

pricing — Azure retail pricing

Looks up Azure retail prices from the public Azure Retail Prices API — meter rates by service, SKU, region, and currency. This gives list pricing, not the customer's negotiated or EA/CSP pricing, and not actual billed consumption. Treat its output as an estimate baseline.

quota — quota & usage limits

Reports subscription quotas and current usage for a resource provider and region — e.g. vCPU quota for a VM family, public IP count, network interface count. Each entry shows the limit, current usage, and therefore the remaining headroom.
