Azure Storage Services

Unified access to Azure blob storage, file shares, queues, tables, and data lake services.

- Supports five storage service types: Blob Storage for objects and backups, File Shares for SMB access, Queue Storage for async messaging, Table Storage for NoSQL key-value data, and Data Lake for big data analytics

- MCP server tools enable listing storage accounts, containers, and blobs, plus downloading and uploading blob content directly

- Configurable access tiers (hot, cool, cold, archive) and redundancy options (LRS, ZRS, GRS, GZRS) for cost and durability optimization

- CLI fallback available via az storage commands when MCP is not enabled; SDK references provided for Python, TypeScript, Java, Rust, and Go
