Or does Mage "Armor" count as armor for purposes of unarmored defense.    I have a Dex based multiclass melee character that I'm getting pretty good AC with, with a feat in Magic Initiate to cast mage armor   Example: Mage Armor =13 +5(Dex) +3(Con) +2 (Haste or Shield of Faith) = 23

Some spells and class features give you a different way to calculate your AC. If you have multiple features that give you different ways to calculate your AC, you choose which one to use.
#4 Bloodscythe Aug 03, 2015 9:08:44	What they said...   Mage Armor:  [Your] base AC becomes 13 + dex.   Unarmored Defense(barbarian): Your base AC is 10+dex. (because this is the base AC of all characters) Using your class feature, your armor class equals 10 + dex mod + con mod   So this leaves a barbarian character affected by Mage Armor with the following: Your base AC is 13+dex. Using your class feature, your armor class equals 10 + dex mod + con mod.
