## What it does

The server offers three tools: semantic search across Microsoft technical documentation, fetching a documentation page as Markdown, and searching official Microsoft and Azure code samples. Code sample searches can include a programming language filter.

Connect over HTTP at `https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp`; no API key is needed. Use an MCP client to connect. Opening the endpoint directly in a browser may return `405 Method Not Allowed`.
