How to Set Up and Use MCSMCP

MCSMCP is a hands-on lab and reference implementation for building MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and connecting them to Microsoft Copilot Studio. It demonstrates how to create an MCP server that exposes custom tools, host it so Copilot Studio can reach it via URL, and integrate it into a Copilot Studio agent through the connector infrastructure. The lab uses a Jokes server as a concrete example but the patterns apply to any enterprise data source or API you want to surface to AI agents in Copilot Studio.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js and npm installed
  • A Microsoft Copilot Studio account with an active environment
  • A way to host the MCP server at a public HTTPS URL (e.g., Azure App Service, ngrok for local dev)
  • Basic familiarity with TypeScript and MCP server patterns
1

Clone the MCSMCP lab repository

Clone the Microsoft MCSMCP repository which contains the reference MCP server implementation and Copilot Studio integration instructions.

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/mcsmcp.git
cd mcsmcp
2

Install dependencies and build the server

Install npm dependencies and build the TypeScript MCP server. The default example implements a jokes server with get-chuck-joke and get-dad-joke tools.

npm install
npm run build
3

Start the MCP server locally

Start the MCP server on the default port 3000. For Copilot Studio to reach it during development, use a tunneling tool like ngrok to expose it at a public HTTPS URL.

npm run start
# In a second terminal, expose it publicly for Copilot Studio:
ngrok http 3000
4

Add the MCP server to Copilot Studio

In Microsoft Copilot Studio, navigate to the connections or tools section and add your MCP server using the public HTTPS URL. The URL format is https://your-domain/mcp.

5

Create a Copilot Studio agent that uses the MCP tools

Create or edit a Copilot Studio agent and enable the MCP server connection. The agent can now call your custom MCP tools (e.g., get-chuck-joke, get-dad-joke) to respond to user messages.

6

Deploy to production

For production use, deploy the MCP server to a stable host such as Azure App Service and update the MCP server URL in Copilot Studio to the production endpoint.

MCSMCP Examples

Client configuration (local MCP client testing)

Claude Desktop config entry for testing the MCSMCP server locally before deploying to Copilot Studio.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcsmcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcsmcp"]
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Example interactions with an agent built on the MCSMCP reference server.

- "Tell me a Chuck Norris joke"
- "Get me a dad joke from the Dev category"
- "What tools does this MCP server expose?"
- "Give me a programming-themed dad joke"

Troubleshooting MCSMCP

Copilot Studio cannot reach the MCP server URL

The MCP server must be accessible at a public HTTPS URL. During development, use ngrok ('ngrok http 3000') to create a tunnel. Ensure the URL ends with /mcp and that HTTPS is used — Copilot Studio does not accept plain HTTP endpoints.

Build fails with TypeScript compilation errors

Run 'npm install' to ensure all dependencies including TypeScript are installed. Then run 'npm run build' again. Check that your Node.js version is 18 or higher with 'node --version'.

MCP tools not appearing in Copilot Studio agent

After adding the MCP server URL in Copilot Studio, refresh the connection and check the tools list. Tools are discovered from the MCP server's tool manifest endpoint. Verify the server is running and returning valid tool definitions by testing it locally first.
