What is the PowerPlatformTip MCP server?

A remote Model Context Protocol server that gives your AI agent read access to all PowerPlatformTip articles and to the upcoming free live workshops of the Power Platform Academy. It runs over Streamable HTTP.

Does it cost anything or need a sign-in?

No. It is free, read-only and needs no sign-in. In Copilot Studio you set authentication to None.

Which tools does the server offer?

Search PowerPlatformTip, Get one tip in full, Latest tips, List tags and Upcoming Academy workshops.

Does it work outside Copilot Studio?

Yes. Any client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP works. In Claude, open Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector and paste the server URL.

Can a data loss prevention policy block it?

Copilot Studio creates a custom connector for the server. If a data policy in your environment blocks custom connectors, the policy blocks this server too.

More from the same family

The same setup works for the other two sites. Use https://func-mcp-kmupower.azurewebsites.net/daily/mcp for curated product news from Power Platform Daily and https://func-mcp-kmupower.azurewebsites.net/governance/mcp for governance, security and compliance news from Power Platform Governance. Both are read-only and need no sign-in. Unlike the PowerPlatformTip server, they can also accept a suggested article, which goes into a review first.
