· 15 min read
It's been a few months since the AKS-MCP server was announced. Since then, there have been several updates and improvements. The MCP server can be easily installed on a local machine using the AKS Extension for VS Code, or via the GitHub MCP registry, or even using the Docker MCP hub.

This pattern demonstrates how MCP servers can be centrally managed and made accessible to multiple clients—including AI assistants, automation tools, and even autonomous agents.
