Integrate and extend agents in Copilot Studio

A company must enable an agent in Copilot Studio to execute operations exposed by an external MCP server.

The MCP server publishes callable tools and requires authentication.

The agent must be able to invoke MCP tools during conversations.

You need to configure MCP tools so the agent can execute MCP tool calls.

What should you do?

Explanation

In Copilot Studio, connecting an agent to an external MCP server as a callable tool source requires configuring authentication for that MCP server connection, such as an API key or OAuth credential, so the platform can establish an authenticated session; without a properly configured authentication method the connection cannot be established and the agent cannot invoke the server's published tools during a conversation.
