Connect Nova Poshta to Microsoft Copilot via MCP

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

Nova Poshta + Microsoft Copilot

Nova Poshta (Нова Пошта), Ukraine's parcel carrier: track up to 100 waybills at once, find cities and branches or parcel lockers, calculate delivery price and date, and list your own shipments. Tracking and lookups work without 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:

(none — public API)

Step 1 — Get credentials

1. Tracking, city and branch search, price and delivery-date calculation work without a key: there is nothing to set up.
2. Only nova_poshta_list_shipments (your own waybills) needs a key. In the Nova Poshta business account at new.novaposhta.ua open Settings → Security, click Create key, accept the API terms and put the key in NOVA_POSHTA_API_KEY. A key is valid for one year; an expired key makes every call fail, so renew it or clear the variable.
3. nova_poshta_track_parcels takes up to 100 waybill (TTN) numbers. Add the sender's or recipient's phone to get the full record; without it you get the status only.
4. For price and delivery date, resolve the city with nova_poshta_search_settlements and pass its DeliveryCity value (not Ref) to nova_poshta_get_delivery_price or nova_poshta_get_delivery_date, with a service type: Warehouse (branch), Doors (address) or Postomat (parcel locker).

Dates are DD.MM.YYYY, weight is in kg and the declared value in UAH. Nova Poshta answers HTTP 200 even when a call fails, so the assistant reads success and errors; an unknown tracking number comes back as "Номер не знайдено" (number not found). Texts are in Ukrainian, and many records also carry a Russian DescriptionRu.

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 Nova Poshta 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.
