Connect Microsoft Copilot Studio to Agent Authority

Microsoft's low-code platform for building Copilot agents with MCP tool support. Once connected, agents built in Copilot Studio reach every tool your organization has approved through a single governed endpoint — every call authenticated, policy-checked, and audited.

Setup

1. Open your agent — On copilotstudio.microsoft.com, open the agent you want to extend.

2. Add a Model Context Protocol tool — Go to Tools → New tool → Model Context Protocol.

3. Configure the MCP server — Fill the form:

   • Server name: SecureAuth AI Gateway
   • Server URL: https://your-gateway-url/gateway/mcp
   • Authentication: OAuth 2.0
   • Type: Dynamic discovery

   Submit to auto-generate the Power Platform custom connector.

4. Create a connection — In the Connection dropdown click Create new connection, then Create, and complete the SecureAuth consent (Allow access).

5. Add and configure — Once the connection shows as Connected, click Add and configure. The Tools panel will populate with the MCP catalog.

The agent is auto-registered on first connect.

Connecting to just one MCP?To stay under an agent's tool limit, point the URL at a single MCP — /gateway/mcp/{slug} instead of /gateway/mcp. Grab the exact URL from the resource's detail page; see Scope a connection to one MCP.

Next steps

• Create a policy — control which tools these agents can call.
• Monitor activity — watch their tool calls appear in the dashboard and audit log.
• Audit log — filter and search every tool call these agents make.
