Adds Adaptive Card response templates to MCP-based API plugins for visual data presentation in Microsoft 365 Copilot with proper schema constraints.
Overview
A GitHub Copilot skill for adding Adaptive Card response templates to MCP-based API plugins, enhancing how data is presented visually in Microsoft 365 Copilot. It covers static templates for consistent data types, dynamic templates for varying response types, and combined approaches — all using the Adaptive Card templating language with JSONPath data binding.
Key Features
- Static and dynamic template patterns: Supports static templates embedded in
ai-plugin.jsonfor uniform data, dynamic templates served in API responses withtemplate_selectorfor type-specific rendering, and combined patterns that use static as default with dynamic overrides. - Adaptive Card templating language: Provides conditional rendering (
${if(field, field, 'N/A')}), number formatting (${formatNumber(amount, 2)}), data binding with$datafor array iteration, and conditional element display with$whenexpressions. - Rich card element library: Covers TextBlock, FactSet, Image, Container, ColumnSet, and Action.OpenUrl elements with configurable sizing, weight, color (good/warning/attention), and wrapping — all with JSON configuration examples.
- Response semantics configuration: Configures
data_path(JSONPath to data),properties(title, subtitle, URL for Copilot citations), andtemplate_selector(dynamic template routing) in the plugin manifest. - Responsive design best practices: Recommends single-column layouts, flexible widths ("auto"/"stretch"), text wrapping, separation of text and images, and cross-hub validation across Teams (desktop/mobile), Word, and PowerPoint viewports.
Who is this for?
This skill is designed for Microsoft 365 developers building MCP-based API plugins who want to present rich, visually formatted data in Copilot responses. It is especially useful for teams creating budget dashboards, project trackers, transaction views, or any plugin that returns structured data benefiting from visual card layouts rather than plain text responses.
