Business value
Custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers let you connect Microsoft Copilot, VS Code, Git, Claude, and other AI agents to the third-party apps and internal systems your business relies on such as Docusign, Salesforce, GitHub, or ServiceNow. Makers and developers can create or clone reusable, governed MCP servers that bring together connector actions, tools from other MCPs, and custom APIs, giving agents the ability to take meaningful, secure actions across platforms.
Feature details
Custom MCP servers function as the bridge between your agents and your systems, enabling them to call the exact tools they need to complete a task.
With this feature, you can create new or clone existing MCP servers:
- Build new MCP servers by assembling connector actions, tools from other MCP servers, and custom APIs
- Clone existing Microsoft authored or hosted MCP servers like Dataverse MCP servers, and tailor them for your business by adding, removing, or replacing tools
Custom MCP servers:
Give Makers and developers the flexibility to:
- Add only the tools relevant to their scenario
- Remove unnecessary or restricted actions
- Swap in business-specific APIs or trusted toolsets
- Design focused, scenario-based MCPs that are easier for agents to invoke and for admins to govern
Support multiple AI agents:
- Compatible with Microsoft Copilot, VS Code, Git Claude, ChatGPT, and other custom agents
- One MCP server can support many agents and use cases
Integrate with any system:
- Connect through connector actions from Microsoft and third-party services such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, GitHub, and Outlook
- Reuse tools from other MCP servers, such as standardized prompts or business logic packages
- Add custom APIs hosted in Dataverse to integrate proprietary processes and data securely
Provide enterprise-grade governance:
- Enforce Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies
- Apply access controls at both the MCP server and individual tool level
