Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionazure-kubernetesExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches azure-kubernetes from microsoft/azure-skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate azure-kubernetes. Access via /azure-kubernetes in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — MANDATORY COMPLIANCE
This skill produces a recommended AKS cluster configuration based on user requirements, distinguishing Day-0 decisions (networking, API server — hard to change later) from Day-1 features (can enable post-creation). See CLI reference for commands.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Best for | AKS cluster planning and Day-0 decisions |
| MCP Tools | mcp_azure_mcp_aks |
| CLI | az aks create, az aks show, kubectl get, kubectl describe |
| Related skills | azure-diagnostics (troubleshooting AKS), azure-validate (readiness checks) |
Activate this skill when user wants to:
azure MCP server and select mcp_azure_mcp_aks first to discover the exact AKS-specific MCP tools surfaced by the client. Choose the smallest discovered AKS tool that fits the task, and fall back to Azure CLI (az aks) only when the needed functionality is not exposed through the AKS MCP surface.If the user is unsure, use safe defaults.

AKS MCP entry point used to discover the exact AKS-specific tools exposed by the client | Discover the callable AKS tool first, then use that tool's parameters |
| Error / Symptom | Likely Cause | Remediation |
|---|---|---|
| MCP tool call fails or times out | Invalid credentials, subscription, or AKS context | Verify az login, confirm the active subscription context with az account show, and check the target resource group without echoing subscription identifiers back to the user |
| Quota exceeded | Regional vCPU or resource limits | Request quota increase or select different region/VM SKU |
| Networking conflict (IP exhaustion) | Pod subnet too small for overlay/CNI | Re-plan IP ranges; may require cluster recreation (Day-0) |
| Workload Identity not working | Missing OIDC issuer or federated credential | Enable --enable-oidc-issuer --enable-workload-identity, configure federated identity |

azure-kubernetes fits our agent workflows well — practical, well scoped, and easy to wire into existing repos.
We added azure-kubernetes from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.
azure-kubernetes is among the better-maintained entries we tried; worth keeping pinned for repeat workflows.
Keeps context tight: azure-kubernetes is the kind of skill you can hand to a new teammate without a long onboarding doc.
