    SCOPE MATTERS HERE. Microsoft ships a real, anonymous, remote MCP server and it answered a live
    `initialize` and `tools/list` on 2026-09-17 — serverInfo "Microsoft Learn MCP Server", version
    1.0.0, protocolVersion 2025-06-18, three tools, no OAuth challenge. What it exposes is Microsoft
    Learn DOCUMENTATION (search, code-sample search, page fetch), which covers Azure CDN docs, and NOT
    the Microsoft.Cdn management surface. An agent can ask it how to create a CDN profile; it cannot
    use it to create one. The management plane has no MCP server: Azure's own control-plane server
    (Azure/azure-mcp, npx -y @azure/mcp@latest) ships 32 service areas and cdn/frontdoor is not among
    them (verified against the repo's areas/ directory, 2026-09-17). The candidate_tools block below
    is what a Microsoft.Cdn MCP server WOULD expose, derived from the harvested contract; it is a
    derivation, not a server that exists.

    Microsoft's Azure control-plane MCP server. Checked because it would be the natural home for a CDN
    tool set. Its areas/ directory lists acr, aks, appconfig, authorization, azurebestpractices,
    azureisv, azuremanagedlustre, azureterraformbestpractices, bicepschema, cloudarchitect, cosmos,
    deploy, extension, foundry, functionapp, grafana, keyvault, kusto, loadtesting, marketplace,
    monitor, mysql, postgres, quota, redis, resourcehealth, search, servicebus, sql, storage,
    virtualdesktop and workbooks — no cdn and no frontdoor. Recorded as a checked absence.
candidate_tools:

  source: openapi/microsoft-azure-cdn-management-openapi.json
  note: >-
    Derived from the harvested Microsoft.Cdn contract (api-version 2026-07-01, 115 operations). NOBODY
    SHIPS THESE. They exist so the crosswalk in microsoft-azure-cdn-tool-crosswalk.yml has a named
    left-hand side and so a would-be implementer can see the shape; each maps to a real operationId in
    that spec.
