## Before you call it

1. Append `?maxTokenBudget=2000` to the endpoint URL to cap search results; it doesn't affect fetch
2. Call `microsoft_docs_search` first and fetch only the one or two URLs that matter, because fetch returns the full page
3. Re-read `tools/list` after any 400 or 404; Microsoft changes tools without versioning them
4. Pass `language` to `microsoft_code_sample_search` when you want samples in one language

## Connect

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http microsoft-learn https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp
```
Full config and headless snippets are in the full page. Through letme (picks today, calling later): https://letme.dev/microsoft-learn-mcp
