Set up Copilot Studio

Configure the Amperity MCP server in Copilot Studio, after which the Amperity MCP server is available to any agent built in Copilot Studio, including agents published to the Microsoft 365 surface.

Requirements

Connecting Copilot Studio to the MCP server requires:

  • An active Amperity account with access to at least one tenant.

  • Access to Copilot Studio with permission to add custom connectors.

Copilot Studio

Use the Copilot Studio MCP onboarding wizard to configure server details and to configure OAuth.

  1. Open Copilot Studio.

  2. In Copilot Studio, open an agent.

  3. Go to the Tools page, select Add a tool, and then New tool.

  4. Select Model Context Protocol. The MCP onboarding wizard appears.

  5. Fill in the following fields:

    Field

    Value

    Server name

    “Amperity” or any name your team prefers

    Server description

    A short description of what the connector is for. The agent orchestrator uses this text to decide when to call Amperity at runtime.

    Server URL

    https://mcp.amperity.com

  6. Under Authentication, select OAuth 2.0.

    Choose the Manual type and fill in the following fields.

    Field

    Value

    Client ID

    nwbd0MGCyh1VysmYQM05UoDXIuVPdGEs
    

    Client secret

    Any non-empty placeholder, for example “unused”. The Amperity MCP server is a PKCE-based public OAuth client and ignores this value, but Copilot Studio requires the field to be non-empty.

    Authorization URL

    https://mcp.amperity.com/authorize

    Token URL template

    https://mcp.amperity.com/oauth/token

    Refresh URL

    https://mcp.amperity.com/oauth/token

  7. Select Create. Copilot Studio displays a callback URL. The Amperity OAuth proxy registers the callback URL dynamically.

  8. Select Next to continue. On the Add tool dialog, choose Create a new connection and sign in with your Amperity credentials.

  9. Select Add to agent.

Tool surface limits

Copilot Studio limits the number of tools an agent can register. The full Amperity MCP surface exposes more than 200 tools, which exceeds this limit.

To stay within the limit, the Amperity MCP server automatically detects Copilot Studio connections and serves a curated subset of tools sized to fit within Copilot Studio’s connector tool limit. No manual configuration is required–connect Copilot Studio by following the steps above, and your agent receives the curated tool set automatically.

To narrow the surface further, restrict your agent to a smaller subset of tools. On your agent’s Tools tab, select the Amperity MCP server to open its settings page. Under the Tools section, turn off the Allow all toggle, and then use the individual toggles to enable only the tools your agent needs.

Important

Tools added to the Amperity MCP server are turned off by default when Allow all is disabled.

Start interacting with Copilot

Open a chat in any Microsoft 365 application in which an agent with access to the Amperity MCP server is configured. Ask the agent about your Amperity tenant:

"Tell me about my Amperity tenant."

The agent calls the tenant_info tool and returns details about your current Amperity tenant.

Tip

If the agent returns an authorization error, sign out, and then reauthorize the connector.
