How to add the Microsoft Learn MCP server to Claude (web and desktop)

Server URL: https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp
Sign-in: No sign-in. Paste the URL and it connects.
Our hands-on result: Partial 5 of 6 tasks passed, tested Oct 16, 2026 with MCP TypeScript SDK (reference client).

Claude setup

https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp

1. Open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
2. Name it microsoft-learn and paste the URL: https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp
3. Click Add. No sign-in is needed.
4. Start a new chat and turn the connector on from the tools menu.

We ran the hands-on test in a reference client, not in Claude. This config follows Claude's documented format for remote (Streamable HTTP) servers. If it fails for you, tell us and we will retest.
