  • Leverage Learn content in Copilot Studio agents, Foundry agents, and custom solutions
  • Enable learners, engineers, and support to use Learn content in their flow of work

Note: This endpoint is designed for programmatic access by MCP clients via Streamable HTTP. It does not support direct access from a web browser and may return a 405 Method Not Allowed error if accessed manually.

The MCP server provides an interface to the Learn knowledge service, that powers Ask Learn and Copilot for Azure. Developer options are listed in the Microsoft Learn MCP Server developer documentation. We also have release notes to see what the latest updates are, and best practices information.
