microsoft-code-reference

Verify Microsoft SDK methods, find working code samples, and catch hallucinated APIs against official docs.

- 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

Finding Code Samples

Use microsoft_code_sample_search to get official, working examples:

microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "upload file to blob storage", language: "csharp")
microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "authenticate with managed identity", language: "python")
microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "send message service bus", language: "javascript")
