Power Apps gains custom tools and rich UI for agent conversations
Diesen Beitrag auf Deutsch lesen
Power Apps can expose custom tools and rich MCP UI when an app is exported as a Microsoft 365 Copilot declarative agent.
TL;DR
Power Apps custom tools and rich UI for app-based conversations are in public preview. When a Power App is exported as a declarative Copilot agent, its custom tools become MCP plugin actions. Power Apps can also expose an MCP server and package the app as a declarative agent for tenant deployment.

Why it matters
- Makers: Test exporting Power Apps as declarative agents so custom app tools can be invoked through MCP plugin actions.
- Makers: Validate rich MCP UI scenarios for app-based conversations while the capability remains in public preview.
- Admins/IT: Review tenant deployment of downloaded declarative agent packages before making app capabilities available in Microsoft 365 Copilot.
