Deploying Claude Desktop Behind Entra ID: The No-Backend Architecture MSPs Need

Claude Desktop ships with a shared API key in a local config file — no per-user identity, no MFA, no audit trail. For MSPs with regulated clients, that’s a non-starter. Microsoft just published an architecture that routes Claude Desktop through Entra ID and Azure API Management with zero custom backend code. Per-user identity, Conditional Access, auditable, and the config can be pushed via Intune. If your clients are asking for sanctioned AI desktop tools alongside their existing M365 stack, this closes a real governance gap.

Microsoft Ships MAI-Image-2.5 and Foundry Local — One Goes Cloud, One Stays Local

Microsoft dropped two AI releases this week that pull in opposite directions. MAI-Image-2.5 wants cloud scale for commercial image generation. Foundry Local wants your voice data staying on-device with no API calls. If you’re still applying one AI deployment policy across the board, these two announcements together are your signal to stop.
