## 🌐 The Microsoft Learn MCP Server Endpoint

The Microsoft Learn MCP Server is accessible to any IDE, agent, or tool that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Any compatible client can connect to the following **remote MCP endpoint**:

```
https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp
```
> **Note:** This URL is intended for use **within a compliant MCP client** via Streamable HTTP, such as the recommended clients listed in our [Getting Started](#-installation--getting-started) section. It does not support direct access from a web browser and may return a `405 Method Not Allowed` error if accessed manually. For developers who need to build their own solution, please follow the mandatory guidelines in the [Building a Custom Client](#%EF%B8%8F-building-a-custom-client) section to ensure your implementation is resilient and supported.

**Standard config** works in most clients:
```json
{
  "servers": {
    "microsoft-learn": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

For experimental features, see the [Experimental Features](#-experimental-features) section below.

## 🧪 Experimental Features

The Microsoft Learn MCP Server offers experimental features that are under active development. These features may change or be refined based on user feedback and usage patterns.

### OpenAI-Compatible Endpoint

For applications that require OpenAI Deep Research model compatibility, you can use the OpenAI-compatible endpoint:

```
https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp/openai-compatible
```

This endpoint [supports OpenAI Deep Research models](https://platform.openai.com/docs/mcp) and follows the OpenAI MCP specification.

### Token Budget Control

To manage token usage and control costs, you can append the `maxTokenBudget` query parameter to the MCP endpoint URL. This parameter limits the token count in search tool responses by truncating the content to meet your specified budget.

```
https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp?maxTokenBudget=2000
```

> **Note:** These experimental features are subject to change. We welcome feedback through our [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/discussions).
