Azure Messaging is a Claude skill that troubleshoots Azure Event Hubs and Service Bus SDK connection, authentication, and message-processing errors.
About
This skill helps diagnose and resolve problems with the Azure Messaging SDKs for Event Hubs and Service Bus. It covers connection failures, authentication and AMQP link errors, message lock and session lock issues, checkpoint and offset resets, and SDK configuration. A developer uses it when a messaging SDK throws errors or an event processor stops handling messages. It works through resource health, diagnostic logs and documentation to recommend a remediation.
- Troubleshoots Azure Event Hubs and Service Bus SDK connection, auth and AMQP link errors
- Follows a 6-step diagnosis workflow: SDK/version, resource health, error match, docs, config, fix
- Uses Azure MCP tools for resource health, KQL log queries and Microsoft Learn doc search

Azure Messaging SDK Troubleshooting
Quick Reference
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Services | Azure Event Hubs, Azure Service Bus |
| MCP Tools | mcp_azure_mcp_eventhubs, mcp_azure_mcp_servicebus |
| Best For | Diagnosing SDK connection, auth, and message processing issues |
When to Use This Skill
- SDK connection failures, auth errors, or AMQP link errors
- Idle timeout, connection inactivity, or slow reconnection after disconnect
- AMQP link detach or detach-forced errors
- Message lock lost, message lock expired, lock renewal failures, or batch lock timeouts
- Session lock lost, session lock expired, or session receiver errors
- Event processor or message handler stops processing
- Duplicate events or checkpoint offset resets
- SDK configuration questions (retry, prefetch, batch size, receive batch behavior)
MCP Tools
| Tool | Command | Use |
|---|---|---|
mcp_azure_mcp_eventhubs | Namespace/hub ops | List namespaces, hubs, consumer groups |
mcp_azure_mcp_servicebus | Queue/topic ops | List namespaces, queues, topics, subscriptions |
mcp_azure_mcp_monitor | logs_query | Query diagnostic logs with KQL |
mcp_azure_mcp_resourcehealth | get | Check service health status |
mcp_azure_mcp_documentation | Doc search | Search Microsoft Learn for troubleshooting docs |
Diagnosis Workflow
1. Identify the SDK and version — Check the prompt for SDK and version clues; if not stated, proceed with diagnosis and ask later if needed 2. Check resource health — Use mcp_azure_mcp_resourcehealth to verify the namespace is healthy 3. Review the error message — Match against language-specific troubleshooting guide 4. Look up documentation — Use mcp_azure_mcp_documentation to search Microsoft Learn for the error or topic 5. Check configuration — Verify connection string, entity name, consumer group 6. Recommend fix — Apply remediation, citing documentation found
Troubleshooting Guides
