Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): Federated Copilot Connectors in Microsoft 365 Copilot Beta
Data as of 3 hours ago (9 September 2026)
Description
Federated Copilot connectors enable users to securely connect Microsoft Copilot to their favorite third party sources, retrieving data in real-time using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Federated Copilot connectors do not store or index customer data in Microsoft - access happens in real time using the user’s own identity, while administrators retain full governance and control through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. With GA, federated Copilot connectors will be supported across Researcher agent and Microsoft 365 Chat, allowing users to bring data into their workflows.
