Azure Automation - Job Claude Desktop Integration

This guide explains how to configure Claude Desktop (Mac and Windows) to use the Azure Automation - Job API through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The integration exposes 10 API endpointsas callable tools inside Claude's chat interface, including Job_ListByAutomationAccount, Job_Get, Job_Create, and more. No API keys or credentials are needed — setup takes approximately 30 seconds. The server runs locally via npx and communicates over STDIO transport. Paste the JSON configuration below into your claude_desktop_config.json file to get started.
