About this tag
The model context protocol tag on WindowsForum.com covers the emerging standard that lets AI assistants like Microsoft 365 Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT connect to external tools and data sources. Recent discussions highlight real-world deployments, including Microsoft's Dynamics 365 Customer Service MCP server reaching general availability, Azure AI Gateway's preview with runtime keys exposing all tools, and integrations from CTERA, ShipBob, Revizto, and Identity Travel. Threads also examine practical considerations for Windows users, such as folder access in Claude Cowork and the importance of governance and permissions when exposing enterprise data through MCP. The tag tracks how this protocol is shaping AI-driven workflows across Microsoft 365, Azure, and third-party platforms.
