What it does
- Azure MCP server configured and authenticated
- GitHub MCP server configured and authenticated
- Target GitHub repository identified
- Azure resources deployed (IaC files optional but helpful)
- Prefer Azure MCP tools (azmcp-) over direct Azure CLI when available
- Execute azmcp-bestpractices-get to get some of the latest Azure optimization guidelines. This may not cover all scenarios but provides a foundation.
- Use these practices to inform subsequent analysis and recommendations as much as possible
