Turning PowerShell Commands into AI Tools
summary
A working MCP server called PoshMcp automatically exposes existing cmdlets, functions and modules as AI-discoverable tools, running either in‑process or out‑of‑process PowerShell (subprocesses required for Azure and Graph modules). Demo spins up a local HTTP endpoint, discovers 13 tools, supports container images, startup scripts, include/exclude patterns, result caching and property filtering, emits OpenTelemetry metrics, and enforces auth via API key and Entra ID with per-command role/scopes so admin-only actions disappear for nonadmins.
