This guide walks you through connecting the Tekst MCP server to a Microsoft Copilot Studio agent. Once connected, your agent can use Tekst tools to retrieve process mining data, analytics, automation history, and more.
Before you begin
Two setup steps must be completed before users can interact with Tekst data through a Copilot Studio agent.
Step 1: Enable MCP in Tekst
A Tekst admin must enable MCP access for your workspace first. In Tekst, go to Settings > Security, find the Model Context Protocol (MCP) section, and turn on Enable Model Context Protocol (MCP). Users cannot connect until this setting is on.
Step 2: Add Tekst to your Copilot Studio agent
A Copilot Studio agent creator must add the Tekst MCP server to their agent. This is a one-time setup per agent - follow the steps below to complete it. Each agent that needs access to Tekst data requires its own MCP connection.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- An active Tekst account with access to the workspace you want to connect
- MCP enabled in your Tekst workspace (see above)
- Access to Microsoft Copilot Studio with permissions to create or edit agents
- Generative Orchestration enabled on your agent (required for MCP)
Connect using the MCP onboarding wizard
The recommended way to connect is using the built-in MCP onboarding wizard in Copilot Studio.
Step 1: Open the MCP wizard
- In Copilot Studio, open the agent you want to connect to Tekst. If you do not have an agent yet, click Agent on the home page to create one.
- Give your agent a name and click Create.
- Go to the Tools page.
-
Click Add a tool.
-
Under Create new, select Model Context Protocol.
Step 2: Configure server details
- Fill in the following fields:
- Server name: Tekst
- Server description: Access Tekst workspace data including process mining, automations, analytics, AI models, and integrations.
-
Server URL:
https://mcp.tekst.com
-
For authentication type, select OAuth 2.0.
-
Select Dynamic discovery as the OAuth 2.0 type. The Tekst MCP server supports OAuth 2.0 dynamic client registration with discovery, which is the simplest configuration option.
- Click Create. Copilot Studio automatically discovers the required OAuth endpoints from the Tekst MCP server.
Step 3: Create a connection
- After clicking Create, the Connect to Tekst Platform dialog opens automatically.
-
Click Create. A browser window opens for Tekst authentication. Sign in with your Tekst credentials and authorize access.
-
Once the connection is established, click Add and configure to finish adding the Tekst MCP server to your agent.
Test the connection
After adding the server, the Tekst tools are automatically registered in your agent. To test:
-
Open the Test panel in Copilot Studio.
-
Send a message like "List me my automations in the Tekst platform."
-
If prompted, click Open connection manager to sign in to Tekst.
-
Once authenticated, the agent retrieves data from your Tekst workspace and responds.
Troubleshooting
Tools are not appearing
Make sure Generative Orchestration is enabled on your agent. MCP tools require this setting to be active.
Authentication fails
Verify that your Tekst account has access to the workspace you want to connect.
Dynamic discovery does not work
If dynamic discovery fails, try the Dynamic OAuth option instead and manually provide:
-
Authorization URL: The URL shown at
https://mcp.tekst.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server - Token URL: The token endpoint from the same discovery document
