 ### 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.

+## Local SDK Generation and Package Lifecycle (TypeSpec)
+
+### AUTHORITATIVE REFERENCE
+For all TypeSpec-based SDK workflows (generation, building, validation, testing, versioning, and release preparation), follow #file:../eng/common/instructions/azsdk-tools/local-sdk-workflow.instructions.md
+
+### DEFAULT BEHAVIORS
+- **Repository:** Use the current workspace as the local SDK repository unless the user specifies a different path.
+- **Configuration:** Identify `tsp-location.yaml` from files open in the editor. If unclear, ask the user.
+
+### REQUIRED CONFIRMATIONS
+Ask the user for clarification if repository path or configuration file is ambiguous.
