Bring Kql
to VS Code Copilot
Learn how to connect Azure Log Analytics Workspace to VS Code Copilot and start using 1 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Azure Log Analytics Workspace MCP Server?
This server strips away dangerous global Azure permissions. It gives your AI agent one surgical superpower: the ability to run KQL queries on one specific Log Analytics table.
By strictly scoping access, your AI can safely troubleshoot application errors, analyze traffic spikes, and monitor infrastructure without ever gaining access to sensitive audit trails globally.
The Superpowers
- Absolute Containment: The agent is strictly locked to query a single table. It cannot search across all workspace logs.
- Native KQL Power: Supports full Kusto Query Language syntax, allowing the AI to filter, parse JSON payloads, and extract insights.
- Plug & Play Troubleshooting: Instantly gives your agent the eyes and ears it needs to debug production issues autonomously.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Do NOT include the table name in your query operations. The engine automatically prepends the authorized table name. Just provide the KQL operations (e.g., "| where TimeGenerated > ago(1h) | limit 10"). Execute a Kusto (KQL) query against the configured Log Analytics table
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Azure Log Analytics Workspace data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 1 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Every tool call from VS Code Copilot to the Azure Log Analytics Workspace MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Why limit the agent to a single Log Table?
To enforce zero-trust security. A Workspace often contains sensitive audit trails (like AzureActivity or SecurityEvents). By locking the agent to a specific table (e.g., 'AppExceptions'), you prevent it from reading global infrastructure access logs.
How should I format my KQL queries?
You do NOT need to include the table name. The MCP engine automatically handles the table prefix. Just pass the KQL operators starting with a pipe. Example: | where TimeGenerated > ago(1h) | limit 50.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
