Azure Wiki Search MCP Server

What does “Azure Wiki Search” MCP Server do?

The Azure Wiki Search MCP Server implements the MCP (Model Context Protocol) specification to allow AI agents to search content on Azure wiki. Acting as a bridge between AI assistants and Azure wiki resources, this server enables powerful workflows where AI models can perform search queries and retrieve wiki documents programmatically. By exposing search and retrieval functionality, it helps developers and AI agents automate information gathering, documentation retrieval, and knowledge management within Azure DevOps wiki environments. This enhances development workflows by streamlining access to internal knowledge bases and documentation, making it easier for teams to surface relevant information through AI-driven tools.

List of Prompts

How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{
  "azure-wiki-search": {
    "transport": "streamable_http",
    "url": "https://yourmcpserver.example/pathtothemcp/url"
  }
}

Once configured, the AI agent is now able to use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities. Remember to change “azure-wiki-search” to whatever the actual name of your MCP server is and replace the URL with your own MCP server URL.

Overview

Based on the available documentation, Azure Wiki Search MCP Server is functional for basic wiki search and retrieval use cases, but lacks detailed resource and prompt templates, as well as broader platform-specific instructions. It scores as a minimal but usable MCP server.

MCP Score

Our opinion:
This MCP server provides basic search and retrieval features for Azure wiki, which is useful for targeted development workflows. However, lack of detailed resource and prompt support, platform-specific instructions, and community activity limit its flexibility and extensibility.
