What it does
Query official Microsoft documentation to find concepts, tutorials, and code examples across Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub, and more. Uses Microsoft Learn MCP as the default, with Context7 and Aspire MCP for content that lives outside learn.microsoft.com.
Microsoft Docs
Research skill for the Microsoft technology ecosystem. Covers learn.microsoft.com and documentation that lives outside it (VS Code, GitHub, Aspire, Agent Framework repos).
Default: Microsoft Learn MCP
Use these tools for everything on learn.microsoft.com, Azure, .NET, M365, Power Platform, Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, Windows, and more. This is the primary tool for the vast majority of Microsoft documentation queries.
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
microsoft_docs_search | Search learn.microsoft.com, concepts, guides, tutorials, configuration |
microsoft_code_sample_search | Find working code snippets from Learn docs. Pass language (python, csharp, etc.) for best results |
microsoft_docs_fetch | Get full page content from a specific URL (when search excerpts aren't enough) |
Use microsoft_docs_fetch after search when you need complete tutorials, all config options, or when search excerpts are truncated.
Exceptions: When to Use Other Tools
The following categories live outside learn.microsoft.com. Use the specified tool instead.
Aspire, Use Aspire MCP Server (preferred) or Context7
Aspire docs live on aspire.dev, not Learn. The best tool depends on your Aspire CLI version:
CLI 13.2+ (recommended), The Aspire MCP server includes built-in docs search tools:
| MCP Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_docs | Lists all available documentation from aspire.dev |
search_docs | Weighted lexical search across aspire.dev content |
get_doc | Retrieves a specific document by slug |
These ship in Aspire CLI 13.2 (PR #14028). To update: aspire update --self --channel daily.
CLI 13.1, The MCP server provides integration lookup (list_integrations, get_integration_docs) but not docs search. Fall back to Context7:
