What it does

Creates declarative agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot by integrating MCP servers with authentication, tool selection, and agent configuration.

Overview

A GitHub Copilot skill for creating declarative agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot that integrate with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It scaffolds complete agent projects using the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit, including manifest files, MCP plugin configuration, authentication setup (OAuth 2.0 or SSO), and tool selection from connected MCP servers.

Key Features

Complete project scaffolding: Generates the full appPackage/ structure with manifest.json, declarativeAgent.json, ai-plugin.json, and .vscode/mcp.json — all properly linked and configured for Microsoft 365 Copilot.
MCP server integration: Connects to any MCP server by URL, fetches available tools, and lets users select specific tools to import with auto-generated function definitions in the plugin manifest.
Flexible authentication: Supports OAuth 2.0 with Plugin Vault reference IDs for production scenarios and Single Sign-On (SSO) for simplified authentication, with environment variable templates for credential management.
Response semantics and data mapping: Configures JSONPath-based data mapping to extract titles, subtitles, and URLs from API responses for Copilot citations, with optional Adaptive Card integration for rich visual presentation.
Testing and deployment workflow: Provides step-by-step guidance for local testing via Agents Toolkit provisioning, sideloading in Teams, validating tool imports, and troubleshooting common issues with MCP connectivity, authentication, and tool discovery.

Who is this for?

This skill is designed for Microsoft 365 developers who want to extend Copilot with custom capabilities powered by MCP servers. It is especially useful for teams connecting Copilot to internal APIs, third-party services like GitHub or Jira, or custom backend systems — enabling natural language interaction with external data through a standardized declarative agent framework.
