Setting up with Highlight

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:

  1. Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
  2. Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
  3. Configure the plugin with the settings below
    Plugin Name Azure IoT Hub MCP Server
    Command (node, npx, python, etc.)

    Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.

  4. Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches

From the repository

Install and run the server via npx with the package @tlaukkanen/azure-iothub-mcp-server. Configure it in your mcpServers block with two environment variables: AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID (your Azure subscription ID) and AZURE_IOTHUB_NAME (your IoT Hub name). Ensure Azure CLI is installed, authenticated with az login, and the azure-iot extension is added (az extension add -n azure-iot).
