Owners

Requires: azure-sdk-mcp server

Tools

Tool	Purpose
azsdk_engsys_codeowner_view	Query by user, label, package, path
azsdk_engsys_codeowner_add_*	Add owners/labels (details)
azsdk_engsys_codeowner_remove_*	Remove owners/labels
azsdk_check_service_label	Check if service label exists
azsdk_create_service_label	Create service label
azsdk_engsys_codeowner_check_package	Check if a package has sufficient owners, labels, and service owners
azsdk_engsys_codeowner_update_cache	Run the CODEOWNERS cache update pipeline to propagate changes

CLI fallback: azsdk config codeowners CLI when MCP is unavailable.

Repository Resolution

Infer repo from workspace in Azure/azure-sdk-for-* repos. Otherwise, ask.

Workflow

1. Query — azsdk_engsys_codeowner_view to inspect current state.
2. Modify — Add/remove owners or labels.
3. Verify — Re-query to confirm.
4. Update cache — After all ownership changes are complete, ask the user if they want to run azsdk_engsys_codeowner_update_cache to propagate changes immediately. This is especially important when changes are needed to unblock PRs or releases.

New labels: azsdk_check_service_label → azsdk_create_service_label → PR merged → azsdk_engsys_codeowner_add_package_label. See data model.

Checking Package Readiness

Use azsdk_engsys_codeowner_check_package with a package directoryPath to verify a package has sufficient owners, PR labels, and service owners. This is useful to diagnose why a PR or release is blocked due to missing ownership.

Examples

• "Add @user to azure-core in azure-sdk-for-python"
• "Who owns azure-storage-blob?"
