MCP Servers

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers connect Copilot to external APIs, tools, and data sources, giving it abilities beyond the built-in features.

MCP server settings live on the Copilot settings page. Open the command palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K) and search for Copilot settings to get there. Only admins and owners can access it.

One-click MCP integrations

The cards at the top connect popular tools with zero configuration:

• Zapier — connect thousands of apps through Zapier's MCP server
• HubSpot — give Copilot access to your CRM contacts, deals, and activity
• Shopify — pull orders, products, and customers into Copilot conversations

Click Connect and follow the prompts. Once connected, Copilot starts using the integration's tools automatically.

Add your own server

For tools without a one-click integration:

1. Click Add Server.
2. Fill in:
   • Name — a label to identify the server
   • URL — the server's endpoint
   • Description (optional) — what the server provides
   • Authentication — None, Bearer Token, OAuth, or Custom Header
   • Transport — Auto, SSE, or Streamable HTTP
   • Auth Token — your credential (shown only when the auth method needs one)
   • Enable Server — toggle on to activate
3. Save.

Manage servers

Servers appear in a table with name and description, URL, authentication type, and status. From there you can:

• Toggle on or off with the status switch
• Edit with the pencil icon
• Delete with the trash icon (and confirm)

Note — Disabling or deleting a server may break AI features that depend on it.

Operate MCP servers safely

• Secure credentials — keep tokens protected and rotate them regularly.
• Test before relying on it — confirm a new server works before depending on it.
• Disable what you don't use — turn off servers you no longer need.
