Connect Freepik to Microsoft Copilot via MCP

💡 No install? Use cloud.anythingmcp.com directly. Sign in, click Connectors → Freepik, paste your credentials, mint an MCP API key — done. No Docker, no git clone, no local server.

Freepik + Microsoft Copilot

Freepik stock content and AI images through the Freepik API, now run as the Magnific API: search and download photos, vectors and PSDs, search and download icons, search stock videos, and generate images with Mystic.

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:

FREEPIK_API_KEY

Step 1 — Get credentials

Freepik's API is now published as the Magnific API (https://api.magnific.com, documentation at docs.magnific.com). The stock catalog is still Freepik's, and existing Freepik API keys keep working.

1. On magnific.com, open your account, then Organization → API keys, and create a key.
2. Paste it into FREEPIK_API_KEY. The connector sends it in the x-magnific-api-key header. There is no OAuth; the key is a server-side secret.
3. Start with freepik_search_resources (photos, vectors, PSDs), freepik_search_icons or freepik_search_videos, and check the licence and formats with freepik_get_resource before downloading.

Credits: the API is billed in credits. Searches and details are cheap. Every call to freepik_download_resource, freepik_download_resource_format and freepik_download_icon registers a download on the account, and freepik_generate_image_mystic spends AI credits. These tools are marked as writes, so the AI client asks before calling them. A 402 means the account has no credits left.

Licences: freemium resources need attribution to Freepik or the author unless the account has a premium plan; premium resources need a plan that includes them. Check licenses[].type before using an asset commercially. Download URLs expire after a short time, so fetch the file right away.

Limits: 10 requests per second averaged over two minutes, and 50 per second per IP in a 5-second window. Mystic generation is asynchronous: poll freepik_get_mystic_task until status is COMPLETED.

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 shows YOUR_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.

1. In Copilot Studio, open your agent (or create one), go to Tools and choose Add a tool → New tool → Model Context Protocol.
2. Enter a Server name (for example AnythingMCP), a Server description that says what the connector does, and the Server URL https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID. Copilot Studio uses the description to decide when to call the server.
3. Under authentication, choose API key, set Type to Header and the header name to X-API-Key, then select Create.
4. 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.
5. Try it in the agent's Test pane: ask for something that needs the Freepik tools.
6. 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.
