This&nbsp;makes&nbsp;it quicker and easier to connect with various tools.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enable dynamic and adaptable functionality:<\/strong>&nbsp;MCP servers can supply tools and data to agents in real time.&nbsp;This offers&nbsp;more flexibility while minimizing the effort and cost of integration and maintenance.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>For example, integrating a banking MCP into an agent instantly unlocks a range of additional capabilities &#8211; without the overhead of manually configuring each action.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-copilot\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-27-113928.webp\" alt=\"A diagram of a banking agent\" class=\"wp-image-5224 size-full webp-format\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-copilot\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-27-113928.webp\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started, access your agent in Copilot Studio, select \u2018Add a Tool,\u2019 and search for your MCP server! (Note: generative orchestration must be enabled to use MCP.) Integrating your own Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with Copilot Studio involves three main steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Build the server<\/strong>: Start by creating a server using <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/modelcontextprotocol\">one of the available SDKs<\/a>. This server acts as the core for managing your tools and data. You can customize it to meet your specific requirements &#8211; such as supporting custom data formats, model types, or unique workflows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create a connector<\/strong>: After the server is ready, the next step is to build a custom connector that links your MCP server to Copilot Studio.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Connect and use in Copilot Studio<\/strong>: Once your connector is in place, you can begin accessing your data and interacting with your models directly within Copilot Studio.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope the new improvements enhance your experience as you explore MCP. We&#8217;re looking forward to your valuable feedback as you continue to use and grow with the platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"resources-and-links\">Resources and
