Connectng to Databricks MCP server from Power Platform (Copilt Studio)

Ahmed Shamim 20

Hi all,

We are trying to connect to the Databricks Genie MCP server from a MS Copilot Studio Agent, while also supporting end user authentication (OAuth2).

Question 1: I found this documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/integrations/msft-power-platform-setup, where Databricks can be added as a connection. This seems to require Premium License , question is just needed for the users of the apps that use this creation?

Question 2 : I see we can also add the MCP server as a tool for the agent , using a streamable HTTP server endpoint, and configure Oauth2, does this also have any special licensing requirements?

Hi Ahmed Shamim,

To add to the AI answer with more specific licensing clarity:

Q1: The Azure Databricks connector is a Premium connector — all users of apps/agents using it need a Power Apps/Power Automate Premium or Power Platform per-app plan license.

Q2: Adding an MCP server directly as a tool in Copilot Studio has no additional licensing beyond standard Copilot Studio licensing. However, if you build it as a custom connector via Power Apps, Premium licensing applies for end users.

Hope this helps!

Answer 1

Question 1: The context only specifies how to create an Azure Databricks connection in Power Apps/Power Automate and then use it from Copilot Studio; it doesn’t state any licensing details or requirements (including Premium) for that connector or for users of apps/agents that use it. No licensing information is available in the provided material.

Question 2: Similarly, the context describes two ways to connect MCP servers to Copilot Studio agents:

Using the MCP onboarding wizard directly in Copilot Studio.
Creating a custom MCP connector in Power Apps and then using it in Copilot Studio.

It also shows how to configure OAuth 2.0 (including manual configuration) for MCP servers and how to complete the setup and test the connection. However, there is no information about any specific or additional licensing requirements for using an MCP server (including a Databricks Genie MCP server) with OAuth 2.0 from Copilot Studio.

The available documentation only covers configuration and troubleshooting, not licensing.
