When to Use

Use this MCP when your agent needs to investigate runtime behavior, errors, or slow operations using live Application Insights data.

Run ad hoc KQL queries against Application Insights without leaving your AI workspace
Investigate recent exceptions, slow requests, and performance regressions
Search for custom events tied to tRPC queries, Snowflake calls, or cache activity
Summarize user session behavior and identify high-latency flows
Validate that telemetry is flowing and the current API key/configuration is healthy

Prerequisites

Python 3.11+ and pip installed
An Application Insights connection string that includes ApplicationId=
An Application Insights API key with Read telemetry permission

Upgrade pip and install the Azure Artifacts keyring helpers from public PyPI:

pip install keyring artifacts-keyring

Then install the MCP package locally before configuring Augment. This avoids first-run timeouts caused by downloading packages during MCP startup:

pip install azure-insights-mcp --index-url https://pypi.org/simple --extra-index-url "https://medisolv.pkgs.visualstudio.com/ai-discovery-portal/_packaging/ai-discovery/pypi/simple/"

To create an Application Insights API key:

Go to Azure Portal → Application Insights → API Access
Click Create API Key
Enable Read telemetry
Copy the generated value into APPINSIGHTS_API_KEY

Installation

Configure via mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "azure-insights": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "azure_insights_mcp.server"],
      "env": {
        "NEXT_PUBLIC_APPINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING": "<APPINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING>",
        "APPINSIGHTS_API_KEY": "<APPINSIGHTS_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}
