Follow these steps to connect Microsoft Copilot Studio to AEM’s MCP servers.

NOTE
The Microsoft Copilot Studio user interface is subject to change and is not definitive. These instructions are for illustrative purposes.

  1. In Agents, start the flow to add an agent that will use AEM MCP tools.

    • Create a new agent.

    The Agents panel in Microsoft Copilot Studio.

  2. Open the tools area for that agent so you can register how it calls external capabilities.

    • Navigate to the tool section and click Add tool.

    The Add tool dialog in Microsoft Copilot Studio.

  3. Decide whether to reuse an existing integration or define a new MCP-backed tool.

    • Select an existing tool or create a new one.

    Selecting Model Context Protocol as the tool type.

  4. When you create a new MCP tool, continue through the Model Context Protocol server step, including preview mode when it appears.

    • Configure a new MCP tool pointing to one or more AEM MCP server URLs.

    Adding a Model Context Protocol server in preview mode.

  5. Define how this MCP endpoint is reached by the agent, including whether access is shared or dedicated.

    • Establish a connection, which can be shared or dedicated between agents.

    The dialog for creating a new connection.

  6. On Add and configure, supply or confirm MCP tool details so the agent can reach your AEM environment.

    The Add and configure panel for the MCP tool.

  7. Finish fields on the MCP tool form (for example, server URLs and authentication-related options).

    • Optionally, enable auto-confirm mode or require end-user confirmation for all tool interactions.

    The MCP tool configuration form.

  8. Validate connectivity to the MCP server; complete browser-based sign-in when Copilot Studio redirects you.

    • Sign in using your Adobe ID when redirected.

    Testing the connection to the AEM MCP server.

  9. Before running a test, open Manage Connections (or the connection manager) and assign the right connection to your session.

    • When testing your agent, open the connection manager first to assign a connection to your session.

    The Manage Connections panel showing available connections.

  10. In the test experience, run the agent against your AEM MCP connection.

    • When testing your agent, press Retry after you assign a connection in the connection manager.

    Testing the agent with the AEM MCP connection.
