Azure Key Vault
Add Azure Key Vault to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed an Azure Key Vault integration so your customers can review keys, secrets, and certificates from inside your product, with access scoped per tenant and every call recorded. Only the scopes needed for what you enable are requested, and values are never exposed unless you explicitly enable retrieval.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers read key, secret, and certificate inventory into your product.
Surface items nearing expiry so renewals happen before an outage.
Read access policies so your product can flag broad permissions.
Trigger your product when an item is rotated or nears expiry.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent checks which certificates expire soon and reports the owners.
An agent reads an access policy to explain who can use a key.
An agent reacts to an upcoming expiry and opens a renewal task.
Example prompt
List certificates expiring in the next 30 days and the vault holding each.
Set up Azure Key Vault in 4 steps
- 01Open the Azure Key Vault connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authenticate their Azure subscription with least-privilege scopes.
- 03Decide whether value retrieval is enabled, then map the vaults your product covers.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the Azure Key Vault integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship an Azure Key Vault integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Azure Key Vault account inside your product and work their secrets, keys and certificates there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: an expired certificate or an unrotated key is an outage rather than a warning, and it arrives without notice. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so an Azure Key Vault update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Azure Key Vault connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you fetch a credential at the point of use instead of storing it yourself without wiring it twice.

PagerDutyAzure Key Vault integration FAQ
How do I add an Azure Key Vault integration to my product?
Enable the Azure Key Vault connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Azure Key Vault account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Azure Key Vault client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Azure Key Vault account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Azure Key Vault account and only ever sees their own secrets, keys and certificates. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Azure Key Vault integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent checks which certificates expire soon and reports the owners.
Who maintains the Azure Key Vault integration?
fastn does. When Azure Key Vault changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Does my product ever hold the customer's Azure Key Vault secret?
No longer than the call needs it. Values are fetched under the customer's own credentials at the point of use and never written into your database, and every read is logged per tenant so an access can be traced to what asked for it.
Can rotation and expiry be handled automatically?
Yes, within the permissions the customer grants, and audited. This matters more here than almost anywhere else: an expired certificate or an unrotated key takes something down rather than raising a warning first.
What can I build with the Azure Key Vault integration?
A common starting point: read key, secret, and certificate inventory into your product. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Azure Key Vault integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Azure Key Vault does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
