1. Add the server

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "microsoft-learn": {
      "url": "https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. Sign in

Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time a remote OAuth server is used. Microsoft Learn is hosted by Microsoft, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

3. Try it

Ask Cursor for something Microsoft Learn can do. Search and fetch official Microsoft and Azure documentation and code samples. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

  • · Remote servers take a url; local servers take command and args.
  • · Values can reference ${env:NAME} so secrets stay out of the file.
