Human-agent collaboration is at the heart of an AI-first organizational vision, combining human creativity with the power of AI to improve business efficiency and productivity. As we increasingly work with AI agents to perform key business functions, we need to rethink the workspace for working with them. At Microsoft Ignite 2025, we announced significant progress in this effort.
Today, Power Apps MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server Go to public preview. Power Apps MCP Server allows agents to automate repetitive app tasks with human review and approval through a new task-centric and enhanced agent feed. Power Apps MCP Server also provides built-in monitoring tools that allow humans to see, assist, and control agent actions as needed.
Building on success: From form filler to MCP server
We introduced agent data entry in Power Apps a while back to speed up form filling with AI suggestions. The response from users was overwhelmingly positive, with a high adoption rate and valuable feedback that helped shape our vision for the future.
Based on this feedback, we recognized an opportunity to extend these capabilities beyond single-purpose agents. The result was Power Apps MCP Server. This is the same proven technology that powers in-app form fill suggestions, and currently Flexible MCP tools for use by agents across your organization It can scale to meet your company’s needs. We plan to start with data entry and add other create, read, update, and delete operations over time, gradually expanding the app tools available to agents.
The Power Apps MCP server provides two types of functionality to agents:
1. Automate repetitive tasks in your app. Agents can now use tools like form filler that were first built and improved in Power Apps. Add and configure the MCP tool on the agent, invoke_data_entry tool Send to a shared mailbox, SharePoint folder, or other unstructured content source. of invoke_data_entry The tool extracts relevant fields from the source, incorporates human review and approval into the agent feed, and creates corresponding records within the app.
2. Monitor agent activity: Agents can now hand over control to humans for review, assistance, and manipulation through these MCP tools. This allows business users to monitor agent activity in the agent feed. This tool gives authors more control over which tasks they want published to agent feeds and when an agent-human handoff is required.
Agent Feed Reimagined with Native MCP Integration
We have completely overhauled the agent feed to take advantage of the power of Power Apps MCP Server. This transformation gives authors more granular control to shape the agent feed experience, allowing them to decide which tasks are displayed and how users can track and interact with agent activity. The redesigned agent feed provides: A shared collaboration space where humans and agents work Seamlessly together:
- Manufacturer is Fine-grained control Beyond user-visible agent feed tasks.
- What users get is Compare side by side Data entry task views allow you to easily review and approve agent actions.
- direct navigation Access specific records in your app for contextual interactions
- Users can View agent performance App metrics and insights.
Turn an existing app into an agent app
Power Apps MCP Server allows manufacturers to deploy AI agents directly into apps that users already know and use. This allows business experts to easily supervise, collaborate, and guide agents as part of their daily workflow. As a result, both traditional and new business applications evolve into agent apps, providing rich agent-enabled experiences. Click here for more information.
State Farm rethinks insurance claims processing
State Farm’s team processes dozens of insurance claim quotes every day, and each quote arrives in a different format with different attachments and information structures. Manually reviewing and entering this data is time-consuming and error-prone.
With MCP-powered agents and agent feeds, these emails can be automatically analyzed to extract key field values, revealing any missing details for human review before a record is created. Check out the Microsoft Ignite 2025 session to learn more.
