| name | check-doc |
| description | Look up documentation for any library, framework, or technology. Use when asked to "check the doc", "look up docs", "find documentation", "show me how to use", or "what does X do". For Microsoft technologies (Azure, .NET, C#, ASP.NET, TypeScript, PowerShell, Blazor, Entity Framework, MAUI, etc.) uses the Microsoft Learn MCP Server. For all other technologies uses the Context7 MCP server. |
Check Doc
A skill that looks up official documentation for any library or technology on demand.
When to Use This Skill
- User says "check the doc for X", "check doc of X", "look up docs for X"
- User asks "how do I use X", "what is the API for X", "show me X documentation"
- User wants to verify an API, method signature, configuration option, or best practice
Decision: Which MCP Server to Use
Use Microsoft Learn MCP Server for Microsoft technologies:
- Azure (all services: App Service, Functions, Cosmos DB, Storage, etc.)
- .NET, C#, ASP.NET Core, ASP.NET Web API
- Entity Framework Core
- TypeScript / JavaScript (Microsoft-owned docs)
- PowerShell
- Blazor, MAUI, WPF, WinForms
- Visual Studio, VS Code extensions
- SQL Server, T-SQL
- Microsoft Graph API
- Teams, SharePoint, Office 365
Use Context7 MCP Server for everything else:
- npm packages (React, Vue, Angular, Express, etc.)
- Python libraries (FastAPI, Django, SQLAlchemy, etc.)
- Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP libraries
- Open-source tools (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, etc.)
- Any library not owned by Microsoft
Step-by-Step Workflow
For Microsoft technologies
- Identify the Microsoft technology from the user's request
- Use the Microsoft Learn MCP Server tool to search for relevant documentation
- Query with specific terms (e.g., class name, method, configuration key)
- Present the relevant docs, code examples, and links
For all other technologies
- Use the
context7-resolve-library-id tool to find the Context7 library ID for the technology
- Use the
context7-query-docs tool with the resolved library ID and a specific query
- Present the relevant docs, code examples, and links
Examples

| "check doc for Azure Blob Storage" | Azure | Microsoft Learn |
| "check doc for IMemoryCache in ASP.NET" | ASP.NET Core | Microsoft Learn |
| "check doc for React hooks" | React | Context7 |
| "check doc for ExRam.Gremlinq" | Gremlinq | Context7 |
| "check doc for dotnet user-secrets" | .NET CLI | Microsoft Learn |
| "check doc for Finbuckle.MultiTenant" | Finbuckle | Context7 |
