Connect Microsoft 365 Copilot to Ecobot
Microsoft 365 Copilot connects to MCP servers by wrapping them as a declarative agent in Copilot Studio, then publishing that agent to your tenant. Any Copilot Studio maker can point at the Ecobot MCP URL and get a working connector; end users in the tenant see it in their agent list on desktop, web, and mobile.
Ecobot MCP endpoint
https://ecobot.com/mcpRequirements
- Microsoft 365 Copilot license for end users.
- A Copilot Studio maker (or tenant admin) to build and publish the agent.
- Tenant admin approval to install a custom agent for org-wide use.
Setup steps
- 1
Open Copilot Studio
Sign in at copilotstudio.microsoft.com with your work account.
- 2
Add an MCP server
In the maker experience, add a new tool of type "Model Context Protocol server" and paste the Ecobot URL.
https://ecobot.com/mcp
- 3
Attach it to an agent
Create or edit an agent (for example, "Ecobot Regulatory Lookup"), attach the MCP tool, and add starter prompts your team should try.
- 4
Publish to your tenant
Publish the agent. Tenant admins can then install it for the whole organization or specific groups from the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Notes & caveats
- Consumer Copilot (copilot.microsoft.com without a work account) does not support custom MCP connectors today.
- For a one-click experience across every Microsoft 365 tenant, Ecobot needs to publish a listed agent to the Microsoft 365 Agent Store. That is on our roadmap — see NEXT_STEPS.md.
Ask IT to enable it
Copy this email and send it to whoever manages Microsoft 365 Copilot at your organization. It has everything they need to add the connector in a few minutes.
Hi IT, Please add the Ecobot regulatory reference as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector to our Microsoft 365 Copilot deployment. It gives our team citation-first answers from the 1987 Corps Manual, every USACE Regional Supplement, and the 2025 National OHWM Manual — verbatim quotes with page-anchored PDF links, no synthesis. What I need: • Add a custom MCP connector in our Microsoft 365 Copilot (Microsoft) tenant / workspace • Endpoint: https://ecobot.com/mcp • Authentication: None (public, read-only) • Scope: Enable for my team (or org-wide if appropriate) Why it matters: • Regulatory answers with verbatim quotes + page-anchored citations — audit-defensible • Reduces time spent digging through hundreds of pages of USACE guidance • Free to use — no license, no API key • Setup guide: https://ecobot.com/resources/ai/copilot Please let me know once it's available, or if you need anything from me to move forward. Thanks!
