Microsoft SME Plugin for Claude Code

A Claude Code plugin that answers technical questions across the full Microsoft technology stack. Uses Microsoft Learn documentation via MCP as the primary source, with web search fallback. Works in Claude Code CLI and Claude Desktop — plugins sync automatically between both.

What it does

• Answers technical questions about Azure, M365, Security, Power Platform, Developer Tools, and Windows infrastructure
• Routes questions to domain specialist agents, running parallel lookups for cross-domain questions
• Cites official Microsoft documentation with confidence ratings (High/Medium/Low)
• Saves session summaries on demand via /ms-sme:log
• Optionally saves a session marker on close (configure with autoLoggingEnabled)

Prerequisites

| Requirement | Minimum version | Install | |---|---|---| | Claude Code CLI | Latest | claude.ai/code | | Node.js | ≥18 | nodejs.org |

Install

Option 1 — npx from GitHub (recommended, no npm account needed):

npx github:caminoalto/ms-sme-plugin

Option 2 — register as a marketplace and install by name:

claude plugin marketplace add caminoalto https://raw.githubusercontent.com/caminoalto/ms-sme-plugin/main/marketplace.json
claude plugin install ms-sme@caminoalto

Option 3 — clone and install locally:

git clone https://github.com/caminoalto/ms-sme-plugin
npx ./ms-sme-plugin

Option 4 — npx from npm (once the package is published):

npx @caminoalto/ms-sme

To publish: npm publish --access public from the repo root (requires an npm account and npm login).

First-run verification

Start a new Claude Code session (or reload Claude Desktop) and ask a Microsoft technology question:

"What is the difference between Azure Private Endpoints and Service Endpoints?"

The ms-sme agent should respond with a structured answer, source URLs, and a confidence rating.

To verify the log command works:

/ms-sme:log

Usage

Ask any Microsoft technology question. The plugin activates automatically in every session. Examples:

"How do I configure Conditional Access in Entra ID?"

"What Power Automate connectors support Dataverse?"

"Walk me through setting up a Windows Server Failover Cluster."

Save a session summary:

/ms-sme:log

Saves a structured markdown summary (topic, key questions, answers, action items, sources) to the plugin data directory.

Configuration

Configure using the Claude Code CLI:

# Enable auto session markers on close
claude plugin config ms-sme autoLoggingEnabled true

# Set a custom log directory (e.g. OneDrive)
claude plugin config ms-sme logDir "/Users/yourname/OneDrive/ms-sme-logs"

| Setting | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | autoLoggingEnabled | boolean | false | Save a session marker file when each Claude Code session ends | | logDir | string | plugin data directory | Where session marker files are written. Accepts an absolute path. |

Note on auto-logging: When enabled, a brief session marker is saved on close — it records the timestamp but does not contain conversation content. Use /ms-sme:log during a session for a full structured summary with questions, answers, and source references.

Claude Desktop

Plugins sync automatically between Claude Code CLI and Claude Desktop. Once installed via npx @caminoalto/ms-sme, the plugin is available in both interfaces. No separate configuration is needed.

Plugins are not available in Claude Desktop remote sessions.

Update

npx github:caminoalto/ms-sme-plugin

Re-running the install command updates to the latest version.

Uninstall

claude plugin uninstall ms-sme

MCP server note

This plugin uses @microsoft/learn-mcp@latest to access Microsoft Learn documentation. Specialist agents fall back to web search automatically if the MCP server is unavailable. To verify the MCP server works: npx -y @microsoft/learn-mcp@latest --help. Check the Microsoft Learn MCP repository for the current package name if needed.

Out of scope

• Non-Microsoft technology questions — the agent will politely decline
• Real-time data (Azure service health, live pricing) — use the Azure portal or Microsoft 365 admin centre
• Writing or executing code — this is a Q&A knowledge tool
