MCP for documentation

[satyajit-behera]

Hi, any plans for exposing all the documentation as MCP? Would be great for the community.

Not yet. But that could be a good idea.

I was just talking about that with @AClerbois 😊

We are also working on migration documentation (in Markdown format). Should be helpful in having Ai help you to go to the new version...

Migration documentation will be very useful for sure. While going through various agents, felt when we have all the contents supplied to it, it works awesome. Sometimes, it does a good job after we copy and paste the complete example. MCP can be a huge advantage in those cases.

I previously worked on a version that demonstrated the power of a custom instruction, back when it was the only way to provide additional prompts to GitHub Copilot.

Since then, agentic capabilities have been released, and they are now much more accurate and helpful for migration scenarios.

If we want to continue offering an AI-assisted tool for the migration, MCP could be a great solution — not only for the tool features, but also for providing prompts and additional resources.

@dvoituron I suggest that we take some time this Monday, on our way to Nantes, to discuss the best approach to help the community migrate faster to v5, especially now that RC1 is available.

@satyajit-behera If you want to use the current documentation through an MCP, you can also rely on Context7, which allows you to access all available “docs”: https://context7.com/?q=fluent+ui+blazor for the current version.

If you want to use the vNext (v5) documentation, I suggest using the Playwright MCP instead, and instructing it to retrieve the documentation from the following link: https://fluentui-blazor-v5.azurewebsites.net/

At the moment, I'm creating a new back-office application with a custom instruction focused on “best practices” for Blazor, and I provide guidance for the agent to use the Playwright MCP whenever it needs information about our favorite UI library.
