# Azure Resource Lookup List, find, and discover Azure resources of any type across subscriptions and resource groups. Use Azure Resource Graph (ARG) for fast, cross-cutting queries when dedicated MCP tools don't cover the resource type. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when the user wants to: - **List resources** of any type (VMs, web apps, storage accounts, container apps, databases, etc.) - **Show resources** in a specific subscription or resource group - Query resources **across multiple subscriptions** or resource types - Find **orphaned resources** (unattached disks, unused NICs, idle IPs) - Discover resources **missing required tags** or configurations - Get a **resource inventory** spanning multiple types - Find resources in a **specific state** (unhealthy, failed provisioning, stopped) - Answer "**what resources do I have?**" or "**show me my Azure resources**" - **List web apps, websites, or App Services** > ⚠️ **Warning:** App Service / Web Apps have no dedicated MCP `list` command. Prompts like "list websites", "list web apps", or "list app services" **must** route through this skill to use Azure Resource Graph. > 💡 **Tip:** For single-resource-type queries, fi

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add microsoft/azure-skills --skill azure-resource-lookup --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From microsoft/azure-skills, a repository with 1,353 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
