We’ve built an Entra-authenticated MCP server—now let’s actually use it 👀
Here’s how to connect it to a declarative agent in Copilot Chat using the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit and the new MCP support:

I’ve started to use Obsidian to track my notes and tasks, but I was missing a mobile-friendly way to manage them. Then I discovered TaskForge for iOS! You get a unified view of tasks across pages, calendar views, widgets, a mobile friendly UI to add and edit tasks. apps.apple.com/it/app/taskf...

Nice use case for custom agents in GitHub Copilot. Since I write blog posts in Markdown, I've created a custom agent in VS Code that helps me to review and improve the quality of my work right side by side with the post #github #githubcopilot #blog

Agent Identity in Microsoft Foundry is pretty cool!
I built an Entra-authenticated MCP server, and getting it to work with declarative agents + M365 Copilot meant setting up OAuth 2.0 very carefully. In Foundry?
No extra work. The agent has its own identity in the tenant, so everything just clicks.

Success! 🎉
I’ve got an MCP server secured with Entra authentication, managed via Azure API Management, and consumed by a declarative agent using OAuth 2.0.
I’m currently deep in prep for an internal event, but I’ll try to carve out time soon to write a blog post. More to come! #Microsoft365

Add them to Copilot Studio or Azure AI Foundry and, thanks to SSO, they can tap straight into the full Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
