Power Platform MCP Connector Suite

Generate comprehensive Power Platform custom connector implementations with Model Context Protocol integration for Microsoft Copilot Studio.

MCP Capabilities in Copilot Studio

Currently Supported:

• ✅ Tools : Functions that the LLM can call (with user approval)
• ✅ Resources : File-like data that agents can read (must be tool outputs)

Not Yet Supported:

• ❌ Prompts : Pre-written templates (prepare for future support)

Connector Generation

Create complete Power Platform connector with:

Core Files:

• apiDefinition.swagger.json with x-ms-agentic-protocol: mcp-streamable-1.0
• apiProperties.json with connector metadata and authentication
• script.csx with custom C# transformations for MCP JSON-RPC handling
• readme.md with connector documentation

MCP Integration:

• POST /mcp endpoint for JSON-RPC 2.0 communication
• McpResponse and McpErrorResponse schema definitions
• Copilot Studio constraint compliance (no reference types, single types)
• Resource integration as tool outputs (Resources and Tools supported; Prompts not yet supported)

Schema Validation & Troubleshooting

Validate schemas for Copilot Studio compliance:

• ✅ No reference types ($ref) in tool inputs/outputs
• ✅ Single type values only (not ["string", "number"])
• ✅ Primitive types: string, number, integer, boolean, array, object
• ✅ Resources as tool outputs, not separate entities
• ✅ Full URIs for all endpoints

Common issues and fixes:

• Tools filtered → Remove reference types, use primitives
• Type errors → Single types with validation logic
• Resources unavailable → Include in tool outputs
• Connection failures → Verify x-ms-agentic-protocol header

Context Variables

• Connector Name : [Display name for the connector]
• Server Purpose : [What the MCP server should accomplish]
• Tools Needed : [List of MCP tools to implement]
• Resources : [Types of resources to provide]
• Authentication : [none, api-key, oauth2, basic]
• Host Environment : [Azure Function, Express.js, etc.]
• Target APIs : [External APIs to integrate with]

Generation Modes

Mode 1: Complete New Connector

Generate all files for a new Power Platform MCP connector from scratch, including CLI validation setup.

Mode 2: Schema Validation

Analyze and fix existing schemas for Copilot Studio compliance using paconn and validation tools.

Mode 3: Integration Troubleshooting

Diagnose and resolve MCP integration issues with Copilot Studio using CLI debugging tools.

Mode 4: Hybrid Connector

Add MCP capabilities to existing Power Platform connector with proper validation workflows.

Mode 5: Certification Preparation

Prepare connector for Microsoft certification submission with complete metadata and validation compliance.

Mode 6: OAuth Security Hardening

Implement OAuth 2.0 authentication enhanced with MCP security best practices and advanced token validation.

Expected Output

1. apiDefinition.swagger.json

• Swagger 2.0 format with Microsoft extensions
• MCP endpoint: POST /mcp with proper protocol header
• Compliant schema definitions (primitive types only)
• McpResponse/McpErrorResponse definitions

2. apiProperties.json

• Connector metadata and branding (iconBrandColor required)
• Authentication configuration
• Policy templates for MCP transformations

3. script.csx

• JSON-RPC 2.0 message handling
• Request/response transformations
• MCP protocol compliance logic
• Error handling and validation

4. Implementation guidance

• Tool registration and execution patterns
• Resource management strategies
• Copilot Studio integration steps
• Testing and validation procedures

Validation Checklist

Technical Compliance

• x-ms-agentic-protocol: mcp-streamable-1.0 in MCP endpoint
• No reference types in any schema definitions
• All type fields are single types (not arrays)
• Resources included as tool outputs
• JSON-RPC 2.0 compliance in script.csx
• Full URI endpoints throughout
• Clear descriptions for Copilot Studio agents
• Authentication properly configured
• Policy templates for MCP transformations
• Generative Orchestration compatibility

CLI Validation

• paconn validate : paconn validate --api-def apiDefinition.swagger.json passes without errors
• pac CLI ready : Connector can be created/updated with pac connector create/update
• Script validation : script.csx passes automatic validation during pac CLI upload
• Package validation : ConnectorPackageValidator.ps1 runs successfully

OAuth and Security Requirements

• OAuth 2.0 Enhanced : Standard OAuth 2.0 with MCP security best practices implementation
• Token Validation : Implement token audience validation to prevent passthrough attacks
• Custom Security Logic : Enhanced validation in script.csx for MCP compliance
• State Parameter Protection : Secure state parameters for CSRF prevention
• HTTPS Enforcement : All production endpoints use HTTPS only
• MCP Security Practices : Implement confused deputy attack prevention within OAuth 2.0

Certification Requirements

• Complete metadata : settings.json with product and service information
• Icon compliance : PNG format, 230x230 or 500x500 dimensions
• Documentation : Certification-ready readme with comprehensive examples
• Security compliance : OAuth 2.0 enhanced with MCP security practices, privacy policy
• Authentication flow : OAuth 2.0 with custom security validation properly configured
