| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdk | Check release readiness and/or trigger the release pipeline |
Steps
- Collect Info — Get
packageNameandlanguagefrom the user. Optionally getbranch(defaults to main). - Determine Intent — If the user explicitly asks to "check readiness" or "check if ready", run
azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdkwithcheckReady: true. Otherwise, proceed to trigger the release directly. - Trigger Release — Run
azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdkwithcheckReady: false(the default). Show pipeline link and inform user they must approve the release stage. - Review Results — If the release fails due to readiness issues, display failing checks and guide user to resolve.
Examples
- "Check if azure-storage-blob is ready for release"
- "Trigger release for @azure/core-rest-pipeline on JavaScript"
Troubleshooting
- If readiness check fails, review each failing prerequisite individually before re-triggering.
- Requires
azure-sdk-mcpserver. No CLI fallback — prompt user to configure MCP if unavailable.
