Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365)

Updated August 20, 2026: We have paused rollout of this feature at this time. We will communicate via Message center when we are ready to proceed. We apologize for any inconvenience. Microsoft is introducing a new capability in Teams that enables Channel Agent to orchestrate tasks with select third-party Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, including GitHub, Asana, and Atlassian (JIRA).
