 ### Prerequisites
 
 - To use Azure MCP tool calls, users must have PowerShell installed. Provide [PowerShell installation instructions](https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell) if not installed, and recommend restarting the IDE to start the MCP server.
-- Always run the [`azsdk_verify_setup`](../eng/common/instructions/azsdk-tools/verify-setup.instructions.md) tool to check the user's development environment setup for using SDK MCP tools. DO NOT PROCEED with running other tools before completing this step. Only skip for queries that don't need tools.
+- See the next section for how to set up the Azure SDK MCP server in your IDE for advanced Copilot features.
+- When using Copilot from IntelliJ, Visual Studio, VS Code (not applicable when using Coding Agent on Github.com):
+  - **Always run** the [`azsdk_verify_setup`](../eng/common/instructions/azsdk-tools/verify-setup.instructions.md) tool first to validate the user's development environment for SDK MCP tools.
+  - **Do not proceed** with any other tool execution until this step is complete.
+  - **Skip this check only** for queries that do not require tool execution.
+
+## Azure SDK MCP Server: Quick Start
+
+The Azure SDK MCP server enables advanced Copilot-powered automation, validation, and Azure-specific guidance in your IDE.
+
+| IDE      | Config File Location               | What to Do                |
+|----------|------------------------------------|---------------------------|
+| IntelliJ | `github-copilot/intellij/mcp.json` | Add the JSON config below |
+
+### Configuration Example
+
+#### IntelliJ (`github-copilot/intellij/mcp.json`)
+```json
+{
+  "servers": {
+    "azure-sdk-mcp": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "pwsh",
+      "args": [
+        "<Path to azure-sdk-for-java repo>/eng/common/mcp/azure-sdk-mcp.ps1",
+        "-Run"
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- Make sure PowerShell is installed and available in your system PATH.
+- Replace `<Path to azure-sdk-for-java repo>` with the absolute path to your local clone of the Azure SDK for Java repository.
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+- If IntelliJ does not detect the MCP server, double-check the path and file name.
+- Start the server manually with:
+  ```powershell
+  eng/common/mcp/azure-sdk-mcp.ps1 -Run
+  ```
+- For more help, see [eng/common/mcp/README.md](../eng/common/mcp/README.md) or open an issue.

 ## Step: Generate SDKs
-**Goal**: Generate SDKs
-**Message to user**: "SDK generation will take approximately 15-20 minutes. Currently, SDKs are generated using the Azure DevOps pipeline. SDK generation is supported only from a merged API spec or from an API spec pull request in the https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs repository."
+
+As a first step, you must prompt the user to understand the intention of SDK generation. Based on the user input, you can either run SDK generation locally or use SDK generation pipeline.
+
+Generate SDK locally in cases below:
+- If the user wants to walk through each SDK generation step locally. This approach requires user to have the setup for each language to generate SDK locally. User can create a pull request for each language after completing all the steps in SDK generation successfully to get the generated SDK reviewed and merged.
+- If SDK or client.tsp customizations are needed before creating a pull request.
+- If the user wants to add tests, samples or any customization to the generated SDK.
+
+Generate SDK using pipeline:
+- If the user wants to generate SDK and get a PR automatically created in Azure SDK language repositories. This approach can be followed if the user does not want to setup local environment for each language.

 1. Identify whether TypeSpec is for Management Plane or Data Plane based on project structure and files. tspconfig.yaml file contains `resource-manager` for management plane and `data-plane` for data plane as resource provider.
