FAQ from ADLS2 MCP Server

How do I authenticate with Azure ADLS2?

Provide your storage account name and optionally an account key via environment variables AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME and AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY. If the key is not set, the server attempts authentication using Azure CLI credentials.

Can I run the server in read-only mode?

Yes. Set the environment variable READ_ONLY_MODE to true (default) to prevent write operations. Set to false to enable full read/write access.

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.13 or higher and the uv package manager. The server also requires an Azure storage account and, optionally, the Azure CLI for credential-based authentication.

Is this an official Microsoft product?

No. The README explicitly states this is not an official Microsoft product.

How do I configure local file storage for uploads and downloads?

Set UPLOAD_ROOT and DOWNLOAD_ROOT environment variables to local directory paths. Defaults are ./uploads and ./downloads respectively.
