Human-agent collaboration is at the heart of the AI-first organization vision, combining human creativity with AI capabilities to boost business efficiency and productivity. As people work with AI agents more to perform key business function, we need to reimagine the workspaces for them to collaborate with agents. At Microsoft Ignite 2025, we announced a significant leap forward in this journey.
Bringing apps and agents together for organizational transformation driven by human-agent collaboration
Today, we’re excited to bring the Power Apps MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server to public preview. The Power Apps MCP Server enables agents to automate repetitive app tasks, with human review and approval through the new task-centric enhanced agent feed. The Power Apps MCP Server also provides built‑in supervision tools that allow humans to review, assist, and take control of agent actions when needed.
Building on success: The journey from form fill assistance to MCP server
We introduced the agentic data entry in Power Apps some time back to speed up form completion with AI suggestions. The response from users was overwhelmingly positive, with high adoption and valuable feedback that shaped our vision for what came next.
Based on this feedback, we recognized an opportunity to extend these capabilities beyond a single-purpose agent. The result is the Power Apps MCP Server – the same proven technology that powers the in-app form fill suggestions – now available as a flexible MCP tool that can be used by agents across your organization and scale to meet enterprise demands. We’re starting with data entry and will be adding other create-read-update-delete operations over time, progressively expanding the app tools available to your agents.
The Power Apps MCP Server equips your agent with two types of capabilities:
1. Automate repetitive app tasks: agents can now use tools like form filling assistance initially built and refined in Power Apps. Just add and configure the MCP tool in your agent and point the invoke_data_entry tool to a shared mailbox, SharePoint folder, or other unstructured content source. The invoke_data_entry tool will extract the relevant fields from the source and create the corresponding records in your app, with built-in human review and approval in the agent feed.
2. Supervise agent activity: agents can now handoff control to humans for review, assistance, and steering through these MCP tools. This way business users can supervise agent activity in the agent feed. The tools give makers much more control over the tasks they want to publish to the agent feed and when they need agent-human handoff.
Agent feed reimagined with native MCP integration
To leverage the capabilities of the Power Apps MCP Server, we’ve completely overhauled the agent feed. This transformation gives makers more granualar control to shape the agent feed experience – deciding which tasks appear and how users track and interact with agent activity. The redesigned agent feed provides a shared collaborative space where humans and agents work together seamlessly:
- Makers have granular control over agent feed tasks surfaced to users.
- Users get a side-by-side comparison view for data entry tasks that makes it easy to review and approve agent actions.
- Direct navigation to specific records within your app for context-aware interactions
- Users can view agent performance metrics and insights in their app.
Turn your existing apps into agentic apps
With the Power Apps MCP Server, makers can bring AI agents directly into the apps their users already know and use. This allows business experts to easily supervise, collaborate with, and guide agents as part of their daily workflows. As a result, both traditional and new business applications evolve into agentic apps, delivering rich, agent‑enabled experiences, see details here.
State Farm reimagines claims processing
State Farm’s team processes dozens of claims estimates every day, each arriving in different formats with varied attachments and information structures. Manually reviewing and entering this data is time‑consuming and prone to errors.
With MCP powered agents and agent feed, these emails can be automatically analyzed to extract key field values, and any missing details are surfaced for human review before the records are created. Learn more in the Microsoft Ignite 2025 session.
Learn more, get started and share your ideas
We invite you to learn more about agent feed in our learn documentation and explore what it can do for your apps. The Power Apps MCP server is being made available in public preview starting with United States early release cycle environments and will be gradually rolled out to other regions, following standard weekly deployment.
We’d love to hear your experience and feedback – share it in Community forum or connect with us directly. Let us know what you are building, where supervision is useful and what would you welcome as the next iteration on the agent supervision capabilities in the apps.
