## MCP Server (Preferred)

When Azure MCP is enabled:

### AI Search

- `azure__search` with command `search_index_list` - List search indexes
- `azure__search` with command `search_index_get` - Get index details
- `azure__search` with command `search_query` - Query search index

### Speech

- `azure__speech` with command `speech_transcribe` - Speech to text
- `azure__speech` with command `speech_synthesize` - Text to speech

**If Azure MCP is not enabled:** Run `/azure:setup` or enable via `/mcp`.
