🎯 Overview
✨ Example Prompts: Your Source of Truth
Your AI assistant should automatically use this tool for Microsoft-related topics. To ensure that it always consults the official documentation, you can add a phrase like:
Generate Azure CLI Commands
"Give me the Azure CLI commands to create an Azure Container App with a managed identity. search Microsoft docs"
Get Correct .NET Code
"Are you sure this is the right way to implement
IHttpClientFactoryin a .NET 8 minimal API? search Microsoft docs"
Factual Q&A
"Is gpt-4.1-mini available in EU regions? search Microsoft docs"
📊 Key Capabilities
- High-Quality Content Retrieval: Search and retrieve relevant content from Microsoft Learn, Azure documentation, Microsoft 365 documentation, and other official Microsoft sources.
- Semantic Understanding: Uses advanced vector search to find the most contextually relevant documentation for any query.
- Optimized Chunking: Returns up to 10 high-quality content chunks (each max 500 tokens), with article titles, URLs, and self-contained content excerpts.
- Real-time Updates: Access the latest Microsoft documentation as it's published.
🌐 The Microsoft Learn MCP Server Endpoint
The Microsoft Learn MCP Server is accessible to any IDE, agent, or tool that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Any compatible client can connect to the following remote MCP endpoint:
Note: This endpoint is designed for programmatic access by MCP clients via Streamable HTTP. It does not support direct access from a web browser and may return a
405 Method Not Allowederror if accessed manually.
Example JSON configuration:
🛠️ Currently Supported Tools
| Tool Name | Description | Input Parameters |
|---|---|---|

Alternative Installation (for legacy clients or local configuration)
For clients that don't support native remote MCP servers or if you prefer local configuration, you can use mcp-remote as a proxy:
| Client | Manual Configuration | MCP Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Desktop (legacy config) | View ConfigNote: Only use this if Settings → Integrations doesn't work{ "microsoft.docs.mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp" ] }}Add to claude_desktop_config.json | Claude Desktop MCP Guide |
| Windsurf | View Config{ "microsoft.docs.mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp" ] }} | Windsurf MCP Guide |
| Kiro | View Config{ "microsoft.docs.mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp" ] }} | Kiro MCP Guide |
▶️ Getting Started
- For VS Code: Open GitHub Copilot in VS Code and switch to Agent mode
- For Claude Desktop: After adding the integration, you'll see the MCP tools icon in the chat interface
- You should see the Learn MCP Server in the list of available tools
- Try a prompt that tells the agent to use the MCP Server, such as "what are the az cli commands to create an Azure container app according to official Microsoft Learn documentation?"
- The agent should be able to use the MCP Server tools to complete your query
❓ Troubleshooting
💻 System Prompt
Even tool-friendly models like Claude Sonnet 4 sometimes fail to call MCP tools by default; use system prompts to encourage usage.
Here's an example of a Cursor rule (a system prompt) that will cause the LLM to utilize microsoft.docs.mcp more frequently:
⚠️ Common Issues
| Issue | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| Connection errors | Verify your network connection and that the server URL is correctly entered |
| No results returned | Try rephrasing your query with more specific technical terms |
| Tool not appearing in VS Code | Restart VS Code or check that the MCP extension is properly installed |
| HTTP status 405 | Method not allowed happens when a browser tries to connect to the endpoint. Try using the MCP Server through VS Code GitHub Copilot or MCP Inspector instead. |
🆘 Getting Support
🔮 Future Enhancements
The Microsoft Learn MCP Server team is working on several enhancements:
- Expanding coverage to additional Microsoft documentation sources
- Improved query understanding for more precise results
