why did Microsoft Learn install so many MCP servers?

In my mcp.json (below), why are there 2 MCP servers for Microsoft Learn and one for Microsoft Docs? Thanks.

"microsoftdocs/mcp": {
			"type": "http",
			"url": "https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp",
			"gallery": "https://api.mcp.github.com/2025-09-15/v0/servers/e0455530-d34a-4795-8dc6-b2888ae76c27",
			"version": "1.0.0"
		},
"microsoft.docs.mcp": {
			"type": "http",
			"url": "https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp"
		},
"microsoft-learn": {
			"type": "http",
			"url": "https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp"
		},

Hi @rootsmusic thanks for you message. This is a bit of a challenge today. The config files are json and allow free text. The management operations may just add a new entry without checking for duplicates. Also there are various places where you can get Learn MCP Server and each registry has their own flavor. And Learn MCP Server has gone through an evolution where we first used a different name, and later also changed separators when they caused an issue. I would expect you can just remove two entries; we would love if you kept at least one :-) Thanks!

Ok @pdebruin, identifier microsoftdocs/mcp (@mcp in VS Code) looks like the current version. However, this repo's README installed the one named microsoft-learn. microsoft.docs.mcp was installed from the README in the official MCP catalog.
