MCP Tools

Tool	Purpose
azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_create_release_plan	Create plan
azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_get_release_plan	Get details
azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_get_release_plan_for_spec_pr	Find by spec PR

azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_link_sdk_pull_request_to_release_plan	Link SDK PR
azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_link_namespace_approval_issue	Link namespace

Steps

1. Prerequisites — Check for API spec PR link or a TypeSpec project path; prompt if unavailable.
2. Check Existing — Query by release plan number or spec PR link (do not query by work item ID).
3. Gather Info — Collect Service Tree IDs, timeline. See details.
4. Create — Run azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_create_release_plan.
5. Namespace — For mgmt plane first releases, link approval issue.
6. Link PRs — Link SDK PRs to plan.

Examples

• "Create a release plan for my spec PR"
• "Create a release plan for my TypeSpec project"
• "Link my SDK PR to release plan"

Troubleshooting

• Requires azure-sdk-mcp server; no CLI fallback.
• If creation fails, verify Service Tree IDs and the provided spec PR URL or TypeSpec project path.
