Perplexity

Create and Query Documents

This MCP server gives your agent direct access to a single Azure Cosmos DB Container. You can ask Claude to run a SQL query with `query_documents` and get the results right in your chat. It's a fast way to check data without opening the Azure portal. You can also create new records on the fly. Just describe the JSON data you want to add, and Claude will use the `create_document` tool to insert it. The agent handles the API call; you just provide the content.

Get and Delete Specific Records

The `get_document` tool pulls a single document by its ID. Tell your agent which record you need, and it brings back the full JSON. This is perfect for looking up user profiles, order details, or any specific item in your container. Need to clean up test data or remove an old entry? The `delete_document` tool does exactly that. Just give Claude the document ID and partition key. It's a direct, irreversible action, so be sure you mean it.

Your Cosmos DB MCP Server

Connecting this server to Claude Desktop lets you work with your NoSQL data conversationally. There's no need to write scripts or use a separate database client. You just talk to your agent. Since Claude Desktop can run tools locally, you can even point this at a development instance of Cosmos DB that isn't publicly accessible. It gives your agent a secure line to your data, whether it's local or in the cloud.

Common questions about Azure Cosmos DB Container MCP in Claude Desktop

Just ask Claude to run a query. Use natural language like, "Query the container for all documents where status is 'active'." Claude will use the `query_documents` tool from this MCP. You don't write the API call yourself.

Yes. Tell Claude what you want to create. For example, "Create a new document with this JSON: { 'id': '123', 'user': 'test' }." The agent will use the `create_document` tool to add it to your Cosmos DB container.

This server is configured to connect to one specific Azure Cosmos DB Container. You set the target container when you subscribe to the server on Vinkius. It provides focused access, not a general-purpose database browser.

Speed and context. This lets you access Cosmos DB data directly inside your chat, keeping you in your workflow. You can query data and immediately use it in another task without switching windows.

Your document data is only passed through when a tool is called. Vinkius uses an ephemeral, zero-trust environment to run the server, and the connection is authenticated with your personal endpoint token. The server itself doesn't store your document data.
