Azure IoT Hub runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 104 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 31 Oct 2026.
MCP server for Azure IoT Hub: device registry, twins, methods, jobs, messaging.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Azure IoT Hub every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
