Fetch current Microsoft docs instead of relying on training data.
Microsoft Learn is configured via .mcp.json and provides MCP tools automatically:
Available MCP Tools:
mcp__microsoft-learn__microsoft_docs_search - Find docs (concepts, tutorials, config, limits)mcp__microsoft-learn__microsoft_docs_fetch - Get full page contentmcp__microsoft-learn__microsoft_code_sample_search - Find official code samplesUsage:
Tool: mcp__microsoft-learn__microsoft_docs_search
Parameters: { "query": "Azure Functions Python v2 programming model" }
Tool: mcp__microsoft-learn__microsoft_docs_fetch
Parameters: { "url": "https://learn.microsoft.com/..." }
Tool: mcp__microsoft-learn__microsoft_code_sample_search
Parameters: { "query": "Cosmos DB", "language": "csharp" }
If MCP tools are unavailable, use the mslearn binary in tools/mslearn/:
# Build (one-time)
cd tools/mslearn && make build
# Search docs
./tools/mslearn/mslearn search --query "Azure Functions Python v2"
# Fetch full page
./tools/mslearn/mslearn fetch --url "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-overview"
# Search code samples
./tools/mslearn/mslearn samples --query "Cosmos DB" --language python
# Batch queries from JSONL
./tools/mslearn/mslearn batch --file tools/mslearn/queries.jsonl
# Session reuse for multiple queries
./tools/mslearn/mslearn session start
./tools/mslearn/mslearn search --query "test"
./tools/mslearn/mslearn session end
Output formats: --format compact (default), json, jsonl, md
