model context protocol

About this tag
The model context protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants like Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to securely connect to external tools and live business data. On WindowsForum, discussions cover MCP integrations with Microsoft 365 Copilot for finance data via Daloopa, paid search campaign management at Stagwell, ERP workflows through Dynamics 365, hotel booking platforms from CDS and BCD Travel, and work management in Smartsheet. These threads highlight how MCP moves enterprise AI from simple chat to coordinated, governed actions across systems, with Microsoft positioning Copilot as an orchestrator that invokes remote MCP servers for tasks like data retrieval, campaign optimization, and operational execution.
