This article lists frequently asked questions about the Microsoft Learn Docs Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, with their answers and links to more information as needed.
Q: Will the MCP server let our users consume the Learn content inside our platform?
Yes. The Learn MCP Server provides answers to questions using content, and direct links to the content. You can use the MCP server to power your own agents, build agents for others, or build reusable components that allows others to build agents according to the Microsoft API Terms of Use.
Q: Does the data returned from the Learn MCP Server remain static or change?
The data changes whenever new content is added, modified, or deleted, which is usually on a daily basis.
Q: Am I going to run into throttling limits?
As a public and free endpoint, our service does have rate limits in place to ensure fair usage for all users. We encourage responsible use of this endpoint to help maintain its availability and performance for everyone.
Q: Can I pre-filter the response?
No. The MCP doesn't provide filtering capability, although you can use a scope in your question.
Q: I followed a bookmarked link to content, but it is now showing me a different piece of content than I expected. Why?
We strive to ensure no one hits a dead-end (404) with links to our site. When content is modified or replaced, we implement a redirect for the old link that will automatically take you to the new content. In the case that content is deprecated and not replaced for various reasons, we'll redirect to the next best appropriate content, which may be a slightly modified scope, or to a landing page, etc.
