The Azure AD MCP (Model Context Protocol) server enables your AI agents to query Azure Active Directory and identity data through the Microsoft Graph API. By connecting this integration, your AI agents can securely access user information, groups, licenses, and other directory data directly from your Azure AD tenant.
The setup process for the Azure AD MCP Server is the same as the Intune setup which is why the video covers both. Please use the correct server permissions when setting up both.
Note: The Azure AD MCP Server is in beta so changes on their end might affect tool use.
Configure the integration
Complete the following steps to register the Microsoft MCP Server for Enterprise as a service principal in your tenant and grant the necessary permissions.
Open Azure Cloud Shell and start a PowerShell session.
Install the Microsoft Entra Beta module by running the following command:
Install-Module Microsoft.Entra.Beta -Force -AllowClobberConnect to Microsoft Entra with the required scopes by running:
Connect-Entra -Scopes 'Application.ReadWrite.All', 'Directory.Read.All', 'DelegatedPermissionGrant.ReadWrite.All'Authenticate via your browser at https://login.microsoft.com/device using the code provided in your terminal.
Grant MCP server permissions to your application by running the appropriate command for your setup. For Azure AD MCP, use:
Grant-EntraBetaMCPServerPermission -ApplicationId "<AZURE_AD_MCP_CLIENT_ID>" -Scopes "MCP.User.Read.All", "MCP.Device.Read.All", "MCP.Application.Read.All", "MCP.GroupMember.Read.All"
Review available MCP scopes
When granting permissions, you can specify various scopes depending on the data your AI agents need to access. Available scopes include:
MCP.User.Read.All: Read user profiles and sign-in activity
MCP.Device.Read.All: Read device information
MCP.Application.Read.All: Read application registrations
MCP.GroupMember.Read.All: Read group memberships
MCP.AuditLog.Read.All: Read audit logs
MCP.Policy.Read.ConditionalAccess: Read Conditional Access policies

To view the full list of scopes, run Get-EntraBetaMCPServerPermission after connecting.
