Azure Data Explorer MCP Server

What does “Azure Data Explorer” MCP Server do?

The Azure Data Explorer (ADX) MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to seamlessly connect with Azure Data Explorer/Eventhouse clusters and databases. Through standardized MCP interfaces, it empowers AI tools and agents to execute KQL (Kusto Query Language) queries, explore database resources, retrieve table schemas, sample data, and access table statistics. The server supports interactive tools and authentication via Azure credentials, making it possible to securely manage and analyze large-scale data directly from AI-driven workflows. This integration enhances developer productivity by automating data exploration, querying, and management within Azure Data Explorer environments.

How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{
  "adx-mcp": {
    "transport": "streamable_http",
    "url": "https://yourmcpserver.example/pathtothemcp/url"
  }
}

Once configured, the AI agent is now able to use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities. Remember to change “adx-mcp” to whatever the actual name of your MCP server is and replace the URL with your own MCP server URL.
