Microsoft has rolled out a protocol update for Power Apps, introducing the MCP server to support AI agent integration. Built on MetaEra, the update enables Power Apps to expose data functions via the MCP protocol, allowing Copilot and custom AI agents to operate under user permissions. AI + crypto news highlights the expansion of the MCP protocol into enterprise software. The update includes Agent Feed for managing agent tasks, with automated actions for low-risk operations. Microsoft 365 Copilot is now available in model-driven apps, with canvas apps in preview.

ME News reports that on April 16 (UTC+8), according to monitoring by Beating, Microsoft has released a set of AI updates for its low-code development platform, Power Apps, centered on the Power Apps MCP Server (officially launching on May 4): Business applications built with Power Apps can expose data entry, querying, and visualization capabilities via the MCP protocol for direct invocation by Copilot and custom agents, adhering to the same permissions and business rules as human users. This enables bidirectional integration between applications and AI. Internally, Microsoft 365 Copilot has officially launched within model-driven Power Apps (canvas apps are in public preview), allowing users to search data using natural language, automatically convert emails into form fields, and generate summaries of activity history. Externally, the application’s business logic is exposed via MCP as callable tools for agents. Microsoft illustrates this with an example: a Power Apps application that has accumulated years of recruitment policies can now power an AI recruitment agent that follows the same rules and permissions, eliminating the need to rewrite logic from scratch. Simultaneously launching is “Agent Feed” (officially available in May), which addresses agent oversight: administrators set approval thresholds; low-risk operations are automatically processed in the background, while high-impact actions (e.g., sending emails) trigger manual confirmation prompts embedded directly within the business application—no separate monitoring tool required. Previously used mainly in developer tools and AI coding assistants, Microsoft’s introduction of the MCP protocol into enterprise business software marks a significant step toward broader enterprise adoption.
