Connect Azure Cloud Ops to Atomicwork to manage, monitor, and deploy resources using AI agents.

Connect Azure Cloud Ops to Atomicwork to give Atom, your workflow builders, and your coding agents the ability to manage, monitor, and deploy resources across your Azure environment. By establishing this connection, your AI Workforce can autonomously handle routine cloud operations, investigate active incidents, and retrieve best practices directly from your Azure subscriptions.

Before you begin

To set up the Azure Cloud Ops integration, make sure you have the following access permissions:

  • Atomicwork admin access: You must have organization administrator permissions in Atomicwork to access the MCP Store.

  • Azure administrator access: You need administrator permissions in your Azure tenant to authorize the secure OAuth connection during setup.

Connect Azure Cloud Ops to Atomicwork

The integration uses a secure OAuth flow to connect your Azure tenant. Follow these steps to establish the connection:

  1. Navigate to Settings > MCP Store and select the Azure Cloud Ops tile.

  2. Click Connect to initiate the authorization flow.

  3. Log in with your Azure administrator credentials on the Microsoft consent screen and authorize the connection.

  4. Once the setup is complete, a list of all available Azure Cloud Ops tools will be displayed on your screen. You can update this list based on your software platform's requirements.

Configure tool access for your AI Workforce

After connecting the integration, you can control which tools your AI Coworkers can use. To maintain a secure cloud environment, we recommend following the principle of least privilege and granting only the necessary capabilities to each AI Coworker.

  1. Navigate to AI Workforce > AI Coworkers > Tools.

  2. Select the specific AI Coworker you want to configure.

  3. Grant granular or complete access to the available Azure Cloud Ops tools by toggling the permissions.

In addition to standard AI Coworkers, the AI workflow builder and the coding agent automatically have access to the Azure Cloud Ops MCP server while building workflows and writing code scripts respectively.
