Microsoft's official MCP server and CLI for giving agents current, trusted Microsoft Learn documentation and code samples during development and troubleshooting.
MCP server for Replicate, which hosts thousands of open machine learning models behind a single API. Lets AI agents search models, run predictions (image, video, audio, and text generation), poll prediction status, and retrieve outputs. Useful for adding generative media and specialized ML capabilities to agent workflows without managing infrastructure.
Skills vs MCP servers
what's the difference?Skillsthe “what to do”
A skillA reusable, structured prompt/workflow with recommended models, an example prompt, and compatible tools. packages know-how — instructions, an example promptA ready-to-use prompt template that demonstrates how to invoke the skill., and recommended models — so an agent performs a task consistently. Skills add knowledge, not new connections.
MCP serversthe “how to connect”
An MCP serverModel Context Protocol server — a standard way to expose tools, resources, and prompts to AI agents and IDEs. gives an agent new capabilities by connecting it to real systems (databases, APIs, files) over a transportHow the client talks to the server: stdio (local process), SSE, or HTTP streaming.. MCP adds connections and actions, not task instructions.
Rule of thumb: reach for a skill when you need the model to do a task well, and an MCP server when you need it to reach a tool or system. They compose — a skill can rely on tools an MCP server provides.
