ABOSS + Microsoft Copilot
ABOSS booking agency software for the live music industry: events and tour dates, deals and fees, projects (artists), venues, travel, contacts, invoices, contracts and advancing, read through the ABOSS Agency API v1.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
ABOSS_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
- An agency's API key is created by its API Key Manager, a user with Administrate permission on Office. ABOSS support designates that user on request ([email protected], with your agency id and name).
- The API Key Manager opens Office → API Key → Settings, confirms the password and ticks a scope for every module the connector should read: events (always included), deals, projects, locations, travels, contacts, invoices, contracts and advancings. A tool whose module is not ticked answers 401 or 403; tick the scope on the existing key instead of creating a new one.
- Put the key in
ABOSS_API_KEY; it is sent asAuthorization: Bearer. - Start with
a_boss_list_projectsfor the artists and their ids, thena_boss_list_eventswithproject_idsand astart_from/start_torange for a tour schedule.
The ABOSS Agency API v1 only reads; nothing in this connector changes data in ABOSS. It allows 60 requests per minute per key. Narrow every list with a date range, updated_at_from, event_id or ids: unfiltered deal, travel, contract and advancing lists of a busy agency take tens of seconds and can time out. Events shared by another agency or an artist only appear with include_shared=true.
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Microsoft Copilot
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
Microsoft Copilot uses MCP servers through agents built in Copilot Studio: you add AnythingMCP to an agent as a tool, then publish the agent to Microsoft 365 Copilot and Teams. Copilot Studio connects from Microsoft's cloud over Streamable HTTP, which AnythingMCP supports.
- In Copilot Studio, open your agent (or create one), go to Tools and choose Add a tool → New tool → Model Context Protocol.
- Enter a Server name (for example
AnythingMCP), a Server description that says what the connector does, and the Server URLhttps://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID. Copilot Studio uses the description to decide when to call the server. - Under authentication, choose API key, set Type to Header and the header name to
X-API-Key, then select Create. - In Add tool, choose Create a new connection, paste an MCP API key from AnythingMCP (MCP Servers → your server → API keys) and select Add to agent.
- Try it in the agent's Test pane: ask for something that needs the
ABOSStools. - Select Publish, then Channels → Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams, keep Make agent available in Microsoft Copilot selected and choose Add channel. See agent in Teams installs it for you; in Microsoft 365 Copilot, type @ and pick the agent.
Prefer per-user sign-in? Choose OAuth 2.0 → Dynamic discovery instead of an API key: each user then signs in to AnythingMCP the first time the agent calls it.
Self-hosting? Use your instance's public HTTPS address instead of https://cloud.anythingmcp.com. Copilot Studio connects from Microsoft's cloud, so localhost does not work.

FAQ
Which Copilot is this for? Microsoft 365 Copilot at work, through agents built in Copilot Studio. The Microsoft Copilot app for personal accounts has no option to add your own MCP server.
What do I need? A work account with access to Copilot Studio (a license or a trial) to build the agent. People who use it in Microsoft 365 Copilot or Teams need access to the agent: share it with them, or ask an admin to publish it to the organization. If your organization applies data policies to Power Platform connectors, they cover MCP servers too.
The agent doesn't call the tools. Check that the header name is exactly X-API-Key and that the key belongs to the same MCP server as the URL, and make the server description specific: Copilot Studio uses it to decide when to call the server. Publish the agent again after each change; in an open chat, type "start over" to get the new version.
