The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that enables developers to build secure, two-way connections between their data sources and AI-powered tools. The architecture is straightforward: Developers can expose their data through MCP servers or build AI applications (MCP clients) that connect to these servers.

For the Docs MCP server itself:

  • High-Quality Content Retrieval: Search and retrieve relevant content from Microsoft Learn, Azure documentation, Microsoft 365 documentation, and other official Microsoft sources.
  • Semantic Understanding: Uses advanced vector search to find the most contextually relevant documentation for any query.
  • Optimized Chunking: Returns up to 10 high-quality content chunks (each max 500 tokens), with article titles, URLs, and self-contained content excerpts.
  • Real-time Updates: Access the latest Microsoft documentation as it's published.
