Introduction This article discusses my experiences when building Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork Plugins, which are powered by a secure custom MCP Server. Why Cowork and Cowork Plugins? Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork is an evolution of Anthropic’s Claude Cowork. The tool is very versatile and enables you to run multiple agent-based tasks at the same time. The backbone of Cowork is the skills and capabilities that it has.

In this post we show you a default MCP Server template that allows you to have an Entra ID secured MCP Server. In this blog post I take you through the process of getting it setup and talk you through the code.

So I really love the Dataverse MCP Server for when I am building Agentic solutions. It works really well within Copilot Studio Agents if you give it a bit of love and guidance. I am sure there is a blog post in there to talk about that but recently I have been looking at the really exciting Copilot Cowork, which recently added support for custom skills and MCP via its Plugins architecture.

This article discusses an approach to building a custom MCP Server as a container, hosting in Azure App Services with the .NET MCP SDK and connecting to Copilot Studio

Resolving missing dependencies and agent components when deploying Agents in solutions can take a lot of your time. Use this to fix them quick smart.

Changing the Knowledge Source URL in managed solutions is tricky because they cannot be changed once deployed. In this article we show a way to make those changes and take control of our Knowledge Sources.

Whilst working with a colleague, they were getting an issue where their prompt was correctly choosing their Topic, lets call it Topic A. Topic A asks a question but when they answered to it. The Copilot Studio Orchestrator switched to a completely different Topic, Topic B and did not continue down the path of Topic A.

In this post I delve into creating my first Microsoft Agent 365 enabled Agent which was announced at Ignite 2025. I hope it helps you build your first Agent 365 Agent and start your journey in this exciting area.

If you are building MCP Servers that need to integrate with Copilot Studio, be mindful of stateful MCP servers which seem to cause problems at this time. Try this tip to make them more robust.

In this blog post I discuss an issue that I was seeing where Responsive AI was being triggered as it thought the agent was being attacked and stopping my Copilot Agent from responding.

Issues running MCP Tools with Azure AI Foundry Agent Service "Sorry, something went wrong"

**Microsoft has an annual OneDrive event, where they reveal what's arrived, what's coming and what's in the future for both OneDrive, SharePoint and Copilot.** In this ses

I wanted to share an approach for how I am using AI to improve documenting solution designs and thoughts around a solution.

So, I have been following the Model Context Protocol (MCP) world for a while now. I first heard about MCP just as we were going out to MVP Summit in March 2025. Already, the Microsoft Copilot Extensibility team were on the case with people like Fabian Williams experimenting with them. I have been following this space, reading articles and finally, over the summer, I have had some time to roll up my sleeves and look at how I would build an MCP Server.

In this post we delve into an issue where Copilot Studio questions were not being processed as expected leading to poor user experience.

Last week, Microsoft Build 2025 announced the introduction of Multi-Agent Copilots within Copilot Studio and the ability to configure one Copilot Agent to make use of other Copilot Agent’s and their tools. I have been pondering on this for a while, but whilst watching the demos, this got me thinking about how these Agents will be delivered. It’s clear that there will be a lot of thought required to deliver a solid multi-Agent architecture, which will need to be designed and engineered!
