How to Use the Azure Log Analytics Workspace MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I share access to the Azure Log Analytics Workspace with my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository's root. Add the MCP server configuration there, commit it, and everyone who pulls the repo will have the tool available in VS Code Copilot automatically.

Q: Is it possible for an agent to run a destructive query?

No. The server only supports read operations via the querylogs tool. Your Azure log data cannot be altered or deleted through this MCP server.

Give your whole team read-only Azure log access right inside VS Code Copilot. Standardize telemetry queries across your org.

Team-Wide Log Access

Add this MCP server's config to your project's `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it. Now, every developer on your team with VS Code Copilot gets the exact same ability to query logs with the `query_logs` tool. This isn't about one person getting access. It's about standardizing how your entire team interacts with telemetry. New hires are productive on day one, with zero configuration on their part.

Enterprise-Ready Observability

The `query_logs` tool provides a secure, read-only window into a specific Azure Log Analytics table. It fits perfectly into an enterprise environment where access needs to be controlled and auditable. Vinkius manages the MCP server and authentication, and it's built on a zero-trust model. You give your team powerful capabilities without handing over broad permissions to your Azure environment.

Query Azure Logs with VS Code Copilot

Your team can now use Copilot Chat in Agent Mode to pull logs without leaving the editor. Just ask, "Copilot, check the logs for errors related to 'cart-service' in the last hour." The agent uses the `query_logs` tool to run the KQL query against Azure. The results appear directly in the chat panel, right next to the code you're working on. It's a massive productivity boost for any team that relies on Azure logs.
