Primary tool covers learn.microsoft.com via three commands: search concepts and guides, find code samples by language, and fetch full page content
Includes CLI fallback ( mslearn command) when MCP server is unavailable, with JSON output option for scripting
Routes Aspire, VS Code, GitHub, and Agent Framework queries to specialized tools (Aspire MCP, Context7) since their docs liv

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionmicrosoft-docsExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches microsoft-docs from github/awesome-copilot and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate microsoft-docs. Access via /microsoft-docs in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Research skill for the Microsoft technology ecosystem. Covers learn.microsoft.com and documentation that lives outside it (VS Code, GitHub, Aspire, Agent Framework repos).
Use these tools for everything on learn.microsoft.com — Azure, .NET, M365, Power Platform, Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, Windows, and more. This is the primary tool for the vast majority of Microsoft documentation queries.
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
microsoft_docs_search |
Search learn.microsoft.com — concepts, guides, tutorials, configuration |
microsoft_code_sample_search |
Find working code snippets from Learn docs. Pass language (python, csharp, etc.) for best results |
microsoft_docs_fetch |
Get full page content from a specific URL (when search excerpts aren't enough) |
Use microsoft_docs_fetch after search when you need complete tutorials, all config options, or when search excerpts are truncated.
If the Learn MCP server is not available, use the mslearn CLI from your terminal or shell (for example, Bash, PowerShell, or cmd) instead:
# Run directly (no install needed)
npx @microsoft/learn-cli search "BlobClient UploadAsync Azure.Storage.Blobs"
# Or install globally, then run
npm install -g @microsoft/learn-cli
mslearn search "BlobClient UploadAsync Azure.Storage.Blobs"
| MCP Tool | CLI Command |
|---|---|
microsoft_docs_search(query: "...") |
mslearn search "..." |
microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "...", language: "...") |
mslearn code-search "..." --language ... |
microsoft_docs_fetch(url: "...") |
mslearn fetch "..." |
Pass --json to search or code-search to get raw JSON output for further processing.
The following categories live outside learn.microsoft.com. Use the specified tool instead.
Aspire docs live on aspire.dev, not Learn. The best tool depends on your Aspire CLI version:
CLI 13.2+ (recommended) — The Aspire MCP server includes built-in docs search tools:
| MCP Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_docs |
Lists all available documentation from aspire.dev |
search_docs |
Weighted lexical search across aspire.dev content |
get_doc |
Retrieves a specific document by slug |
These ship in Aspire CLI 13.2 (PR #14028). To update: aspire update --self --channel daily. Ref: https://davidpine.dev/posts/aspire-docs-mcp-tools/
CLI 13.1 — The MCP server provides integration lookup (list_integrations, get_integration_docs) but not docs search. Fall back to Context7:
| Library ID | Use for |
|---|---|
/microsoft/aspire.dev |
Primary — guides, integrations, CLI reference, deployment |
/dotnet/aspire |
Runtime source — API internals, implementation details |
/communitytoolkit/aspire |
Community integrations — Go, Java, Node.js, Ollama |
VS Code docs live on code.visualstudio.com, not Learn.
| Library ID | Use for |
|---|---|
/websites/code_visualstudio |
User docs — settings, features, debugging, remote dev |
/websites/code_visualstudio_api |
Extension API — webviews, TreeViews, commands, contribution points |
GitHub docs live on docs.github.com and cli.github.com.
| Library ID | Use for |
|---|---|
/websites/github_en |
Actions, API, repos, security, admin, Copilot |
/websites/cli_github |
GitHub CLI (gh) commands and flags |
Agent Framework tutorials are on learn.microsoft.com (use microsoft_docs_search), but the GitHub repo has API-level detail that is often ahead of published docs — particularly DevUI REST API reference, CLI options, and .NET integration.
| Library ID | Use for |
|---|---|
/websites/learn_microsoft_en-us_agent-framework |
Tutorials — DevUI guides, tracing, workflow orchestration |
/microsoft/agent-framework |
API detail — DevUI REST endpoints, CLI flags, auth, .NET AddDevUI/MapDevUI |
DevUI tip: Query the Learn website source for how-to guides, then the repo source for API-level specifics (endpoint schemas, proxy config, auth tokens).
For any Context7 query, resolve the library ID first (one-time per session):
mcp_context7_resolve-library-id with the technology namemcp_context7_query-docs with the returned library ID and a specific queryBe specific — include version, intent, and language:
# ❌ Too broad
"Azure Functions"
"agent framework"
# ✅ Specific
"Azure Functions Python v2 programming model"
"Cosmos DB partition key design best practices"
"GitHub Actions workflow_dispatch inputs matrix strategy"
"Aspire AddUvicornApp Python FastAPI integration"
"DevUI serve agents tracing OpenTelemetry directory discovery"
"Agent Framework workflow conditional edges branching handoff"

💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.

microsoft-docs is among the better-maintained entries we tried; worth keeping pinned for repeat workflows.
Keeps context tight: microsoft-docs is the kind of skill you can hand to a new teammate without a long onboarding doc.

microsoft-docs has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
I recommend microsoft-docs for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
Solid pick for teams standardizing on skills: microsoft-docs is focused, and the summary matches what you get after install.

Useful defaults in microsoft-docs — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
