Tested npm @microsoft/copilot-studio-mcp 1.0.4 (published by Microsoft; the package has no license field or license file and names no repository). Stdio bridge to Microsoft Copilot Studio, 9 tools. copilot_studio_status (self-check) reported signedIn:false; copilot_studio_list_environments asked us to sign in first with copilot_studio_connect, a Microsoft account sign-in we don't do. Core tools not tested. Not labelled Official: we found no Microsoft page naming the package this run.
Tool-call test (2026-11-11, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): fail. 0 of 1 function call passed; needs a Microsoft sign-in. Core tools not tested. Evidence: local test run, Nov 11, 2026.

What we tested and what we didn't
Tested on 2026-11-11
- Install from the registry
- We connected with no credentials and asked for its tool list: it listed 9 tools (Method details: MCP
initializethentools/list) - Maintenance signals (last push, archived/deprecated status)
- Docs (README length, install and config example)
- License (OSI-approved or not)
- Token cost (estimate)
Not tested
- Security: not audited (no code review, no permission or data-flow analysis)
- Real tasks (no functional task runs yet)
- Behaviour with real credentials or a real account
- Performance, rate limits or load
- Correctness of results beyond the listed tasks
Methodology: how we test. A high score means it installs and responds, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
