The article discusses the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which allows AI agents to access live data and execute actions beyond their built-in capabilities. MCP acts as a universal adapter for AI applications, standardizing how AI models access external tools, APIs, and knowledge bases. It enables easy connection to data sources, access to a marketplace of existing servers, and flexible action capabilities. MCP servers are made available to Copilot Studio using connector infrastructure, allowing for enterprise security and governance controls. The article also mentions a lab that provides a hands-on understanding of MCP and how it works with Microsoft Copilot Studio. Readers are encouraged to dive into the lab and explore the possibilities of integrating MCP.
