Azure Blob Storage MCP server

Connect Azure Blob Storage to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, GitHub Copilot and any other MCP client, for your whole team. Metorial adds security, governance, and tracing, and gives everyone one Magic MCP URL to connect.

What you can do with the Azure Blob Storage MCP server

Ask your agent in plain language. Each of these maps to a real tool on the server.

  • Use the create blob snapshot tool in Azure Blob Storage
  • Use the download blob tool in Azure Blob Storage
  • Use the delete blob tool in Azure Blob Storage
  • Use the manage container tool in Azure Blob Storage
  • Use the get blob properties tool in Azure Blob Storage
  • Use the set container metadata tool in Azure Blob Storage

Supported Tools

create_snapshot

Create Blob Snapshot

Create a read-only snapshot of a blob at its current state. Snapshots capture a point-in-time copy that can be used for backup or versioning. Optionally set metadata on the snapshot.

download_blob

Download Blob

Download the content of a blob. Supports partial content retrieval using byte range requests. Returns the blob as an attachment along with metadata.

delete_blob

Delete Blob

Permanently delete a blob from a container. Can optionally delete associated snapshots. Use "include" to delete the blob and all its snapshots, or "only" to delete just the snapshots.

manage_container

Manage Container

Create or delete a container in Azure Blob Storage. When creating, you can optionally set public access level and initial metadata. When deleting, the container and all its blobs are permanently removed.

get_blob_properties

Get Blob Properties

Retrieve system properties and user-defined metadata for a blob without downloading its content. Returns content type, size, access tier, lease status, copy status, and custom metadata.

set_container_metadata

Set Container Metadata

Set user-defined metadata on a container. This replaces all existing metadata with the provided key-value pairs. To clear metadata, pass an empty object.

upload_blob

Upload Blob

Upload content as a blob to a container. Supports setting content type, access tier, metadata, and cache control. Creates a new blob or overwrites an existing one with the same name.

list_containers

List Containers

List all containers in the Azure Blob Storage account. Supports filtering by name prefix and limiting the number of results returned.

manage_lease

Manage Lease

Acquire, renew, release, or break a lease on a blob or container. Leases provide distributed lock functionality to prevent concurrent modifications. A lease can be finite (15-60 seconds) or infinite (-1).

copy_blob

Copy Blob

Copy a blob from a source URL to a destination in the storage account. Supports copying within the same account, across accounts, or from any accessible URL. The copy operation runs asynchronously for large blobs.

append_to_blob

Append to Blob

Append content to an existing append blob. Append blobs are optimized for append operations like logging. The blob must already exist and be of type AppendBlob - create one first using the Upload Blob tool with blobType "AppendBlob".

update_blob_properties

Update Blob Properties

Update system properties and/or user-defined metadata on a blob. Properties include content type, encoding, language, disposition, and cache control. Metadata can be updated separately or together with properties.

get_container_properties

Get Container Properties

Retrieve properties and metadata for a specific container. Returns system properties like lease status, public access level, and user-defined metadata.

set_blob_tier

Set Blob Access Tier

Change the access tier of a block blob. Tiers control storage costs and access performance: Hot (frequent access), Cool (infrequent, 30-day minimum), Cold (rare access), or Archive (offline, requires rehydration).

list_blobs

List Blobs

List blobs in a container. Supports filtering by prefix, hierarchical listing with delimiters, and pagination. Use the delimiter "/" to browse blobs like a folder structure.

Connect Azure Blob Storage to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Azure Blob Storage in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Azure Blob Storage MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Azure Blob Storage tools.

Run Azure Blob Storage through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Azure Blob Storage and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Azure Blob Storage tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.

Technical notes for Azure Blob Storage

Upload, download, copy, and delete blobs (block, append, page) in Azure cloud storage. Create and manage containers, set blob metadata and properties, and configure access tiers (Hot, Cool, Cold, Archive). Manage blob snapshots and versioning for point-in-time recovery. Apply lifecycle management policies to automatically transition blobs between tiers or expire data. Acquire and manage leases for concurrency control. Configure immutable storage with WORM policies for compliance.
