The source structure is inconsistent with the existing workiq plugin. The workiq plugin uses a simple string value for the source field (line 22: "source": "plugins/workiq"), while this Azure plugin uses an object with nested "source" and "url" fields. Consider either following the same pattern as workiq with a local path, or clarify if the nested object structure is intended for URL-based sources. If this is a new pattern for external plugins, it should be documented.

The URL points to a GitHub repository tree view (https://github.com/microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure/tree/main/claude) rather than a plugin artifact or distributable package. GitHub tree URLs are web UI links, not programmatic sources. If plugins need to be fetched from external repositories, the URL should point to a raw file, release artifact, or API endpoint that can be consumed programmatically. Consider using a URL like a release tarball, a raw file URL, or an npm package reference if the plugin is published.

The Azure plugin entry is missing the "version" field that is present in the workiq plugin (line 24). For consistency and to support versioning of plugins, consider adding a version field to the Azure plugin entry. If the version field is optional, this can be ignored, but if it's required for proper plugin management, it should be added.

Add the Azure plugin to the marketplace.
We may be getting ahead of ourselves but the Azure SDK team is very excited about the official GitHub Copilot plugins collection. We've started work on a Claude plugin, consisting of the Azure MCP server and related agents and skills, and we're hoping we can re-use it in GitHub Copilot.
I realize this PR is probably not ready to go as-is, but we're hoping to get a conversation going. Thank you!
