This Copilot Can Read and Write Dataverse Data! | MCP Server in Copilot Studio

✨ Introduction

Microsoft’s new Dataverse MCP Server is a quiet revolution for Power Platform professionals.In my latest video, I show how this connector transforms Copilot Studio from a chat-based experiment into a fully functional data interface for real business scenarios.

🧠 The Use Case

I used an internal knowledge management system — built in Dataverse — that collects articles and videos about the Power Platform and digital transformation.Instead of creating a Power App to browse the data, I built a Copilot Agent that can search, retrieve, and even create new records — all in natural language.

⚙️ What You’ll Learn

• Create and configure a Copilot Studio Agent

• Adjust the system instructions for targeted Dataverse access

• Connect the Out-of-the-Box MCP Server

• Read, create, and delete Dataverse records directly via chat

⚠️ Key Takeaways

This integration opens incredible opportunities — but also demands care.The MCP Server can delete entire tables if misused.That’s why data governance and quality must be at the core of every implementation.

When done right, though, this setup redefines what’s possible with Copilot Studio and Dataverse.
