Description

I’m a Content Developer in the Microsoft Learn organization, and we would find this feature useful for keeping documentation up-to-date.

Our team regularly needs to identify recent changes to Azure services and products so we can update Learn content accordingly. Today, this requires manual monitoring of update feeds and release notes. If Azure MCP Server could expose a tool for querying recent service updates (e.g., “What features/changes occurred for Key Vault over the last 14 days?”), it would enable two key workflows:

- Writers calling the tool directly to check for changes before updating docs.
- AI agents programmatically invoking the tool to detect changes and automatically create pull requests for documentation updates.

I propose an MCP tool (or an extension to an existing one) that can:

- Query official Azure Updates feeds and/or service release notes
- Filter by service name and time window (e.g., last 14 days)
- Return structured results (title, date, summary, link, category)

Customers would also benefit from this capability because it mirrors the value they already find in changelogs and “What’s New” articles.

Thanks for the consideration!
