The Microsoft Learn MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that adds trusted and up-to-date Learn content as context to language models. It is a remote MCP server that uses streamable http. It lets AI agents send a query to Microsoft Learn and returns a JSON-encoded response with chunks of publicly available documentation.

Use cases

  • Enhance coding agents like GitHub Copilot with Learn content
  • Leverage Learn content in Copilot Studio agents, AI Foundry agents, or custom solutions
  • Use the knowledge search in a way tailored to your needs.
