## MSBuild Locator
55+
56+
MSBuild Locator is an API that you can use to find MSBuild on a machine. It can be helpful in tools development, when you want to find installed versions of MSBuild.
57+
58+
The NuGetPackage is at [Microsoft.Build.Locator](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Build.Locator/) and the reference documentation is at [Microsoft](/dotnet/api/microsoft.build.locator).
59+

For more information about MSBuildLocator, see [Find and use MSBuild versions](./find-and-use-msbuild-versions.md).
