Connect Gelato to Microsoft Copilot via MCP

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

Gelato + Microsoft Copilot

Gelato print-on-demand: browse the product catalog, check prices, stock and shipping methods, quote, draft and track orders (including Etsy and Shopify orders), and manage products in connected stores. Gelato API with an API key.

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:

GELATO_API_KEY

Step 1 — Get credentials

1. In the Gelato dashboard (dashboard.gelato.com), open Developer → API Keys and click Add API key. Only admins, or users given the permission, see this page.
2. Name the key, click Create key and copy it right away: Gelato does not show it again.
3. Paste it into GELATO_API_KEY and install the connector. The key is sent as the X-API-KEY header to each of Gelato's API hosts (product, order, shipment and ecommerce).
4. Start with gelato_list_catalogs and gelato_get_catalog, then use gelato_search_products to find the productUid that prices, quotes and orders need. gelato_quote_order gives the full price with shipping options for a real address.

gelato_create_order, gelato_confirm_draft_order and gelato_create_product_from_template are installed switched off: the first two charge your Gelato account, the third publishes a listing to the connected store (Etsy charges a listing fee). Enable them on the connector page only if you want them. gelato_create_draft_order is on, because a draft is neither produced nor charged. Orders from a connected Etsy or Shopify store reach Gelato on their own and show up in gelato_search_orders; do not create them again.

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 Gelato 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.
