Question

A logistics company has already built several internal REST APIs exposed through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that returns real-time shipment tracking and warehouse inventory. The operations team wants to build a Copilot Studio agent that can call these existing tools without the maker having to manually recreate each API operation, authentication flow, and schema inside the agent. Which approach best meets this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Connect the Copilot Studio agent to the existing MCP server so its tools are discovered and made available to the agent automatically.

Answer

Rebuild each REST API as an individual custom connector action defined manually in Copilot Studio.

Answer

Upload the API documentation as knowledge files so the agent can read the endpoints and generate responses.

Answer

Deploy a separate Foundry Agent Service solution in Python and embed it inside the Copilot Studio interface.
