Azure AI Services

Services

Service	Use When	MCP Tools	CLI
AI Search	Full-text, vector, hybrid search	`azure__search`	`az search`
Speech	Speech-to-text, text-to-speech, SDK logs	`azure__speech`	-
OpenAI	GPT models, embeddings, DALL-E	-	`az cognitiveservices`
Document Intelligence	Form extraction, OCR	-	-

MCP Server (Preferred)

When Azure MCP is enabled:

AI Search

azure__search with command search_index_list - List search indexes
azure__search with command search_index_get - Get index details
azure__search with command search_query - Query search index

Speech

azure__speech with command speech_transcribe - Speech to text
azure__speech with command speech_synthesize - Text to speech

If Azure MCP is not enabled: In Copilot CLI or Claude Code, ask the user to run /mcp and enable Azure MCP; in other hosts, ask the user to enable Azure MCP through the host's MCP configuration.

AI Search Capabilities

AI enrichment	Entity extraction, OCR, sentiment

Speech Capabilities

Feature	Description
Speech-to-text	Real-time and batch transcription
Text-to-speech	Neural voices, SSML support
Speaker diarization	Identify who spoke when
Custom models	Domain-specific vocabulary
Client SDK diagnostics	Speech SDK client diagnostics for log collection, offline analysis, features, and session/result IDs (no MCP or login required)
