Azure Quick Review CLI tools for the Azure MCP Server overview

By using the Azure MCP Server, you can run Azure Quick Review (azqr) commands by using natural language prompts. You can generate compliance and security reports for your Azure resources to identify noncompliant configurations and areas for improvement, without needing to remember specific command syntax.

Azure Quick Review CLI (azqr) is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that analyzes Azure resources for alignment with Azure best practices and recommendations. It gives you a comprehensive overview of your Azure resources so you can identify noncompliant configurations or areas for improvement.

Note

Tool parameters: The Azure MCP Server tools define parameters for data they need to complete tasks. Some of these parameters are specific to each tool and are documented here. Other parameters are global and shared by all tools. For more information, see Tool parameters.

Generate compliance report

The Azure MCP Server runs Azure Quick Review CLI commands to scan an Azure subscription or resource group for compliance issues. It generates a compliance and security assessment report. The report identifies noncompliant configurations and recommends improvements. The tool returns the generated report file paths in XLSX and JSON formats.

Note

Azure Quick Review (azqr) is different from Azure CLI (az), Azure Policy assignments, and Azure Advisor recommendations.
