Users targeting Azure sovereign clouds (China, US Government) had no guidance on how to configure the Azure MCP server away from the default public cloud endpoint.

Changes

  • README.md — New Sovereign Cloud Configuration section covering:
    • Where to find the installed plugin's .mcp.json (~/.copilot/installed-plugins/ / %USERPROFILE%\.copilot\installed-plugins\)
    • Ready-to-use config snippets for AzureChinaCloud and AzureUSGovernment via the --cloud server argument:
      {
        "mcpServers": {
          "azure": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "@azure/mcp@latest", "server", "start", "--cloud", "AzureChinaCloud"]
          }
        }
      }
    • Pre-authentication commands table for Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, and Azure Developer CLI per cloud
    • Link to Connect to sovereign clouds on MS Learn
