Local Emulator
A local emulator provided by Azure Cosmos DB that runs a genuine Cosmos DB environment on a developer machine without an Azure subscription, for development and testing.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The local emulator gives developers a real Cosmos DB environment on their laptop; Agent Kit teaches coding assistants best practices; and the MCP Toolkit lets agents connect to data securely.
In the Code with Cosmos demonstration, developers can complete design, generation, validation, and testing using only VS Code, the local emulator, Agent Kit, and the MCP Toolkit, without switching tools.
In the Cosmos DB scenario, the MCP Toolkit acts as a bridge between the agent and the local emulator: the agent declares executable operations via MCP, and the tool side handles permission control and execution.
