How Microsoft’s Dataverse MCP Server Leveled Up Copilot Studio 🤯 + Power Apps

-

Model Context Protocol (MCP) an open standard that enables large language models (LLMs) to interact securely and seamlessly with external systems, data, and tools. MCP acts as a "bridge" or "translator".

allowing AI agents to communicate with various systems in a structured way. It doesn't replace APIs but rather provides a standard language for AI systems to safely call APIs without needing custom code.


The video focuses on how Microsoft Dataverse can now function as an MCP server providing intelligent access to its tables and records for MCP clients like Copilot Studio and Power Apps.

Key configurations in the Power Platform environment include enabling the Dataverse Model Context Protocol feature and whitelisting specific MCP clients. The Dataverse MCP server exposes various tools for full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) support on data while respecting user permissions.

Dataverse MCP Server to Microsoft Copilot Studio. Once configured, the agent can query, update, and interact with Dataverse tables live, as shown with examples of listing claims, updating amounts, and querying order tables. The agent can also be instructed to work with specific tables for focused scenarios.

Dataverse MCP Server with Power Apps By whitelisting Power Apps as an MCP client, users can directly fire SQL queries against the MCP server within Power Apps and create dynamic experiences like listing tables, showing row counts, and displaying schema information. This integration significantly simplifies AI-powered development by providing standardized, schema-aware AI reasoning, leading to faster development times and smarter applications.
