Summary

Microsoft's official remote MCP server for Learn documentation — semantic search over first-party Azure and .NET docs, page fetch, and verified code samples. Free, no key.

Features

  • Semantic search across official Microsoft Learn documentation
  • Fetch any Learn page and convert it to markdown
  • Search first-party Microsoft and Azure code samples by language
  • Hosted remote endpoint — no install, no API key, no sign-up
  • Only reaches first-party docs, avoiding untrusted web sources
  • Companion `@microsoft/learn-cli` for terminal use without an MCP client

Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

  1. Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
  2. Merge the snippet below into it.
  3. Restart the agent — the "Microsoft Learn Docs" tools will be available.

Description

Microsoft Learn's MCP server exists to stop agents inventing Azure SDK methods that never shipped. It is a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint at https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp that answers questions from Microsoft's own published documentation rather than from a model's training data or a general web search.

Three tools do the work. microsoft_docs_search runs a semantic search across Learn and returns relevant excerpts; microsoft_docs_fetch pulls a specific documentation page and converts it to markdown so the agent can read the whole thing; and microsoft_code_sample_search looks up official Microsoft and Azure code snippets, optionally filtered by language.

The supply-chain argument is the one Microsoft leads with, and it is a fair one: a generic web-search tool can land on an abandoned blog post or a typosquatted package, while this server only ever reaches first-party documentation. For .NET, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework, NuGet, Azure CLI and the Azure SDKs — areas that move fast enough for training data to go stale — that difference shows up as code that actually compiles.

Practical notes: it is free, needs no API key, sign-up or OAuth flow, and installs in one click in VS Code. Because it is Streamable HTTP only, opening the URL in a browser returns 405 Method Not Allowed — that is expected, not a fault. A companion CLI (@microsoft/learn-cli) exposes the same three tools in a terminal for agents without an MCP client.
