Question

Your organization wants developers to use a shared MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects Copilot Chat to your internal ticketing system. Instead of having each developer manually configure the server in their personal VS Code settings, the platform team wants a centralized, governed way to make this MCP server available to everyone and control which servers are permitted. What should the platform team use?

Accepted Answer

Configure the MCP server in the organization's Copilot policy settings, which lets admins centrally register and govern MCP servers for members

Answer

Ask each developer to add the server definition to their user-level settings.json and share the config file over chat

Answer

Create a Copilot Space containing the ticketing documentation, since Spaces automatically expose any linked system as an MCP tool

Answer

Enable Agent Mode organization-wide, which automatically discovers and connects to any MCP server on the corporate network
