Analyze Azure resources used in the app (IaC files and/or resources in a target rg) and optimize costs - creating GitHub issues for identified optimizations.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Azure Cost Optimize This workflow analyzes Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) files and Azure resources to generate cost optimization recommendations. It creates individual GitHub issues for each optimization opportunity plus one EPIC issue to coordinate implementation, enabling efficient tracking and execution of cost savings initiatives. ## Prerequisites - Azure MCP server configured and authenticated - GitHub MCP server configured and authenticated - Target GitHub repository identified - Azure resources deployed (IaC files optional but helpful) - Prefer Azure MCP tools (`azmcp-*`) over direct Azure CLI when available ## Workflow Steps ### Step 1: Get Azure Best Practices **Action**: Retrieve cost optimization best practices before analysis **Tools**: Azure MCP best practices tool **Process**: 1. **Load Best Practices**: - Execute `azmcp-bestpractices-get` to get some of the latest Azure optimization guidelines. This may not cover all scenarios but provides a foundation. - Use these practices to inform subsequent analysis and recommendations as much as possible …

How to install
mdr add fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall/az-cost-optimize@sha256:2fd3912a01fa636cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.80a7ab6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
