The Microsoft Learn Docs MCP Server provides AI assistants with real-time access to official Microsoft documentation via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor to ground responses in authoritative content, benefiting developers and technical users seeking accurate, up-to-date information.

How It Works

This cloud-hosted service implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to serve as a bridge between AI assistants and Microsoft's extensive documentation. It leverages advanced vector search for semantic understanding, retrieving up to 10 high-quality, token-optimized content chunks with article titles and URLs. This approach ensures AI responses are grounded in the latest, most relevant official Microsoft technical content.

Quick Start & Requirements
