Worksection + Microsoft Copilot

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:

WORKSECTION_URL, WORKSECTION_CLIENT_ID, WORKSECTION_CLIENT_SECRET

Step 1 — Get credentials

The connector uses OAuth 2.0: every call is made as the Worksection user who authorized it, with that user's role. Worksection's administrative API key needs an MD5 signature on every request, which the connector does not compute, so OAuth is the way in.

In Worksection click your avatar → Account settings → API and create an OAuth 2.0 application. Set the redirect URI to <your AnythingMCP URL>/api/mcp-oauth/callback (on AnythingMCP Cloud: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/api/mcp-oauth/callback).
Put the client id and client secret into WORKSECTION_CLIENT_ID and WORKSECTION_CLIENT_SECRET, and your account address (for example https://youraccount.worksection.com) into WORKSECTION_URL.
On the connector page click Authorize with Provider and sign in. The connector asks for read and write access to projects, tasks, comments, costs and tags, and read access to files, users and contacts.
Start with worksection_get_me, then worksection_list_projects and worksection_list_tasks (add filter=active for open tasks).

Things to know:

Access tokens last 24 hours and are renewed automatically. The refresh token lasts one month, so a connector unused for longer has to be authorized again.
The limit is 1 request per second per account and 10,000 records per answer. Prefer worksection_list_tasks per project or worksection_search_tasks over worksection_list_all_tasks.
Errors often come back with HTTP 200 and "status": "error", so read status in the answer.
Dates are DD.MM.YYYY and users are addressed by e-mail. Write tools act as the connected user and comments notify the task's subscribers. worksection_update_task cannot change a description, and its tags replace all current tags.

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.

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 URL https://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 Worksection tools.
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.
