Account keys with full access stay enabled until the owner turns them off, request logs are off until configured, and an Azure account needs a person, a phone number and a payment card.\n\n**Fastio.** OAuth with PKCE, scoped API keys with read, write and admin modes, and separate read and write MCP tools limit what an agent can touch. There is no free tier, the 30-day trial needs a card, and no status page, SLA, OpenAPI file or public changelog was found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Azure Blob Storage\n\n1. Request an Entra ID token for https://storage.azure.com/ and send it as a Bearer header with `x-ms-version` and `x-ms-date`. Put Blob also needs `x-ms-blob-type: BlockBlob`\n2. Ask for a Storage Blob Data role on the one container. Role changes can take up to 10 minutes to apply\n3. To share a file, call Get User Delegation Key, then sign a SAS with `sp=r`, `spr=https` and a short expiry. Treat the URL as a secret\n4. Send `If-None-Match: *` on Put Blob so a retry can't overwrite a blob another call wrote\n5. On 503 ServerBusy back off exponentially. After 500 OperationTimedOut check the blob's state before retrying, since the write may have succeeded\n\n### Fastio\n\n1. Connect to `https://mcp.fast.io/mcp/tools` for named tools or `https://mcp.fast.io/mcp/code` for the 8-tool code mode. The URL fixes the tool set for the session\n2. Call `action=\"describe\"` on a tool before first use. Parameters live there, not in the tool list\n3. To update a file, upload again with the same parent folder and filename. Deleting first loses the version history\n4. On 429 wait until `x-ve-limit-expires` or the `Retry-After` value. On 402 the organisation has no plan or no credits, so stop and tell the owner\n5. Ask the owner for a key scoped to one workspace with `r` or `rw`. A key made without scopes carries `user:*:rw` across the account\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Azure Blob Storage or Fastio?\n\nAzure Blob Storage scores 75.7 (BB) on agent readiness against Fastio's 55.2 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Fastio leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Azure Blob Storage and Fastio need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Azure Blob Storage and Fastio without installing anything?\n\nYes. Azure Blob Storage has a hosted endpoint at https://\u003caccount\u003e.blob.core.windows.net and Fastio at https://mcp.fast.io/mcp/tools.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-blob-storage-vs-fast-io.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-blob-storage-vs-fast-io.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"azure-blob-storage\", \"b\": \"fast-io\"}`.
