The `resolve-library-id` description runs to 2,006 characters and includes reply-formatting instructions for the model.\n\n**Microsoft Learn MCP Server.** Access requires no account, key or card. No status page was found, and the FAQ does not specify numeric rate limits.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Context7\n\n1. Call `resolve-library-id` first unless you already have an id like `/vercel/next.js`; `query-docs` answers a bare name with a not-found message\n2. Ask one concept per `query-docs` call; there's no size parameter, so a broad query returns a large chunk\n3. Read the text of every result, because a 429 or 404 comes back as normal content, not an error\n4. Send `Authorization: Bearer \u003cctx7sk key\u003e` before looping; anonymous limits are low and unpublished\n5. Keep secrets and proprietary code out of `query`; queries are stored and sent to third-party models for reranking\n\n### Microsoft Learn MCP Server\n\n1. Append `?maxTokenBudget=2000` to the endpoint URL to cap search results; it doesn't affect fetch\n2. Call `microsoft_docs_search` first and fetch only the one or two URLs that matter, because fetch returns the full page\n3. Re-read `tools/list` after any 400 or 404; Microsoft changes tools without versioning them\n4. Pass `language` to `microsoft_code_sample_search` when you want samples in one language\n", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-10-05", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.3", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Compare", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/" }, { "name": "Context7 vs Microsoft Learn MCP Server", "url": "" } ], "description": "Context7 has a score of 73 (BB) against Microsoft Learn MCP Server's 48.1 (D).
