Excited to join the AI Tour in Milan on March 10! I'll discuss integrating pro-code agents into Agent 365 for enhanced observability, monitoring, and security with Entra, Defender, and Pureview. Plus, an amazing lineup of speakers and sessions: aitour.microsoft.com/flow/microso... #aitour #agent365

Microsoft Agent Framework Reaches Release Candidate | Microsoft Foundry Blog Microsoft Agent Framework is now at Release Candidate. A stable, open‑source foundation for building single and multi‑agent systems across .NET and Pythonβ€”on the path to GA.

Excited to see Microsoft Agent Framework reaching the status of Release Candidate! This means that the API surface is stable, so now it’s a good time to start migrating your projects away from Semantic Kernel #ai #dotnet

We continue our journey on how to consume Entra-authenticated MCP servers in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. After building a protected MCP server and used it in a declarative agent, now we learn how to do the same with Copilot Studio #mcp #CopilotStudio

Hello Seattle! I’ll be spending the next week here for #MCAPSTechConnect, where I’ll have the privilege to share my experience on building agents for the Microsoft 365 ecosystem with more than 5000 colleagues from all over the world!

Consuming an authenticated MCP server with a declarative agent in Copilot Chat In this post, we'll learn how to create a declarative agent using the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit that consumes an Entra-authenticated MCP server.

We’ve built an Entra-authenticated MCP serverβ€”now let’s actually use it πŸ‘€

Here’s how to connect it to a declarative agent in Copilot Chat using the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit and the new MCP support:

I’ve started to use Obsidian to track my notes and tasks, but I was missing a mobile-friendly way to manage them. Then I discovered TaskForge for iOS! You get a unified view of tasks across pages, calendar views, widgets, a mobile friendly UI to add and edit tasks. apps.apple.com/it/app/taskf...

Enabling multi-tenant authentication for MCP servers with Microsoft Entra and APIM In this post, we'll learn how to enable multi-tenant authentication for MCP servers, allowing users from any organization to access your protected APIs.

As a follow up to my previous article, in this new post we explore how you can turn the Entra-authenticated MCP server from being single-tenant to multi-tenant www.developerscantina.com/p/mcp-entra-...

This enables user with anty work account to securely connect to our MCP server.

Building an authenticated MCP server with Microsoft Entra and .NET

As promised πŸ‘‡
Here’s a step-by-step guide on building your own MCP server with .NET, secured using Entra via Azure API Management.
In the coming weeks, I’ll also dive into how this protected server can be used inside the Microsoft 365 Copilot ecosystem.

Nice use case for custom agents in GitHub Copilot. Since I write blog posts in Markdown, I've created a custom agent in VS Code that helps me to review and improve the quality of my work right side by side with the post #github #githubcopilot #blog

Agent Identity in Microsoft Foundry is pretty cool!
I built an Entra-authenticated MCP server, and getting it to work with declarative agents + M365 Copilot meant setting up OAuth 2.0 very carefully. In Foundry?
No extra work. The agent has its own identity in the tenant, so everything just clicks.

Success! πŸŽ‰
I’ve got an MCP server secured with Entra authentication, managed via Azure API Management, and consumed by a declarative agent using OAuth 2.0.
I’m currently deep in prep for an internal event, but I’ll try to carve out time soon to write a blog post. More to come! #Microsoft365

Lately I'm struggling with keeping up with all my tasks so, inspired by others, I'm starting the experiment to use Obsidian as a second brain to dump notes and information. So far, I like the simplicity, the usage of Markdown and easy sync with GitHub. Let's see how it goes! #obsidian #secondbrain

OpenAI just dropped GPT-5.2!
And it’s already live in Microsoft 365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot.

The pace of innovation here is wildβ€”in a good way.
