How to Connect OLX to Microsoft Copilot via MCP

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

OLX + Microsoft Copilot

Manage your OLX classifieds account (Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Portugal, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan) from Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot: your adverts with status, statistics and moderation reasons, buyer message threads with replies, wallet balance, billing and invoices, and categories, attributes and locations. OAuth sign-in, one install per country.

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:

OLX_HOST, OLX_CLIENT_ID, OLX_CLIENT_SECRET

Step 1 — Get credentials

Setting up takes about 10 minutes, plus the time OLX needs to review your application. You need an OLX account on the country site you sell on and an application accepted on that country's OLX developer portal.

1. Sign in with your OLX account at the developer portal of your country: developer.olx.pl (Poland), developer.olx.ro (Romania), developer.olx.bg (Bulgaria), developer.olx.pt (Portugal), developer.olx.ua (Ukraine), developer.olx.kz (Kazakhstan) or developer.olx.uz (Uzbekistan).
2. Add an application with Connect App. As redirect URI (on the Polish portal: Adres powrotu) enter https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/api/mcp-oauth/callback on AnythingMCP Cloud, or <your AnythingMCP URL>/api/mcp-oauth/callback when you host AnythingMCP yourself.
3. Wait for OLX to accept the application. Until then it shows Waiting for acceptance; OLX emails you, and only after acceptance do the Client ID and Client Secret appear.
4. Paste them into OLX_CLIENT_ID and OLX_CLIENT_SECRET, and set OLX_HOST to your country's site exactly, for example https://www.olx.pl, https://www.olx.ro or https://www.olx.ua, without a path or trailing slash. It must be the country where the application was registered.
5. Install the connector, open it and click Authorize with Provider. Sign in with the OLX account whose adverts the AI should see and approve the access (the connector asks for the scopes v2 read write). Then run olx_get_me: it shows the signed-in user and confirms that OLX_HOST is the right country.

One install per country: each OLX country is its own site with its own accounts, app registration and categories. If you sell in Poland and in Romania, install the connector twice and put the country in its name. OLX Brazil runs on a different platform and is not covered.

Whose account it is: everyone using this connector reads the adverts and messages of the account that authorized it. Use the seller account, and decide who gets the connector before you share it.

What it reads: your own adverts with status (active, limited, outdated, moderated or blocked), title, price, category, location, contact, validity dates and link; full advert details with description, attributes and images; statistics per advert (views, phone number reveals, favourites); why moderation rejected or blocked an advert; the paid features currently active on an advert; message threads with buyers and their unread counts, the messages in them and the public profile of the other person; your business profile; your OLX wallet balance and bonus credits, billing history and prepaid and postpaid invoices; and the lookups an advert needs: categories with their required attributes, a category suggestion from an advert title, regions, cities, districts and the city that matches a pair of coordinates.

Only your own adverts: OLX has no API for searching other people's adverts, so the AI cannot browse the marketplace or look up competitors' listings.

Switched off at install: olx_send_message, olx_mark_thread_read, olx_deactivate_advert and olx_delete_advert. A message reaches a real buyer at once and cannot be taken back; deactivating takes a listing off the site (reactivating may cost a fee, so it is not offered here); deleting removes an advert with its statistics and messages for good. An administrator switches on only the ones the team needs.

Asks before every change: with a write tool switched on, the AI shows you the thread and the exact text, or the advert, and waits for your yes before it sends anything or takes a listing down.

Messages are untrusted: a buyer's message can contain instructions aimed at the AI. The AI treats message texts as content to read, not as commands.

Limits: OLX allows about 4,500 requests per 5 minutes per IP address and blocks the address for 30 minutes beyond that, so the AI pages through long lists at a calm pace instead of looping fast.

Common errors: 401 invalid_token means the sign-in expired or was revoked: click Authorize with Provider again. invalid_client at sign-in means the application is not accepted yet, or the Client ID and Secret come from another country's portal. 404 means the advert, thread or user is not visible to the signed-in account; for the business profile it means the account is not a business account.

The connector does not create, edit, activate or promote adverts, buy paid features or packets, or spend anything from the OLX wallet: those stay on the OLX site.

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 OLX 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.

Available tools

Example prompts

• "Which of my adverts were moderated or blocked, and what does OLX say I need to fix?"
• "Which buyer threads have unread messages? Summarise what each buyer is asking about."
• "Show views, phone reveals and favourites for my active adverts, and tell me which ones get the least attention."
• "How much is left in my OLX wallet, and what was I charged for in the last month?"
• "I want to sell a used iPhone 13 128 GB in Warsaw: which category fits, and which attributes are required there?"

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.
