MMicrosoft Learn MCP (official, remote)

Vendor-hosted
Tested Microsoft's hosted Learn MCP at https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp (server 'Microsoft Learn MCP Server' 1.0.0). Initialize and tools/list worked with no account (3 read-only tools). Real calls: microsoft_docs_search for Azure Functions Consumption plan timeouts, microsoft_code_sample_search for a Python BlobServiceClient upload, and microsoft_docs_fetch of the Azure Functions hosting page all returned content. The MicrosoftDocs/mcp repo holds docs and client config, not the server, so this is scored as vendor-hosted: 65 cap, not source-audited.
Tool-call test (2026-11-11, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 3 of 3 read calls passed anonymously. Evidence: live endpoint probe, Nov 11, 2026.
Microsoft-hosted endpoint. Initialize and tools/list worked without sign-in (3 tools); all 3 read calls returned content. Server source isn't public (the MicrosoftDocs/mcp repo holds docs and client config): vendor-hosted 65 cap (Our review, Nov 11, 2026).
Maintenance date 2026-05-22: date from page metadata (meta updated_at 2026-05-22T23:04:00Z (meta ms.date 2026-05-05)) of https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/support/mcp, fetched 2026-11-11T08:00Z. Not a changelog entry.

What we tested and what we didn't

Methodology: how we test (vendor-hosted rule). A high score means it responds and its vendor documents and dates it, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
