Summary
- Three core tools: microsoft_docs_search for API lookups, microsoft_code_sample_search for working examples in C#/Python/JavaScript, and microsoft_docs_fetch for full reference pages with overloads
- Catches common mistakes like wrong method signatures, deprecated patterns, mismatched SDK versions (v11 vs v12), and incorrect package names
- Works with Azure SDKs, .NET libraries, and Microsoft Graph APIs; falls back to mslearn CLI if the Learn MCP Server is unavailable
- Recommended workflow: confirm method exists, fetch full details for complex parameters, then find a working sample before writing code
