Connectors and MCP for Copilot: when no connector exists, we already have the piece.
Arcetec is a Microsoft Partner that integrates its clients' systems —the ERP, the CRM and in-house applications— with Microsoft Copilot and Power Platform. For commercial software there are the ecosystem's more than fourteen hundred connectors and Microsoft Graph; for in-house software there is the Arcetec MCP: an implementation of the Model Context Protocol, the open standard that connects artificial intelligence agents to systems and data, which Microsoft adopted and which is now generally available in Copilot Studio, with support in Azure AI Foundry, Windows and GitHub — even Microsoft Sentinel exposes its own MCP server. On that foundation, processes are automated end to end and the workflow runs hands-free, all inside Microsoft Teams and with no new portals. Integrations run with enterprise controls —virtual network, data loss prevention and least-privilege permissions by design— and keys never travel to the browser. If a system doesn't even have an API, the assessment tells you what is viable before any quote. Engagements start with a conversation and a scoped assessment, with fixed scope and price. We operate from Cajicá, Cundinamarca.
More than fourteen hundred connectors to integrate your systems with Copilot and Power Platform. And for in-house systems, our MCP: the standard Microsoft adopted, operated by Arcetec.
- The open standard Microsoft built into Copilot Studio
- VNet, DLP and least-privilege permissions by design
- Zero new portals: everything happens inside Teams

The short history of MCP
Model Context Protocol: from promising standard to an official piece of the Microsoft ecosystem, in four facts.
- Microsoft adopted it as the standard for agents — MCP is the open protocol that connects AI agents to systems and data. Microsoft made it its own: it is the official way to give an agent hands.
- Generally available in Copilot Studio — It is no longer an experiment: any agent built in Copilot Studio can consume MCP servers in production, with Microsoft support.
- Support in Foundry, Windows and GitHub — The same protocol runs across the platform: Azure AI Foundry agents, Windows itself and GitHub all speak MCP. One piece, the whole ecosystem.
- Even Sentinel exposes its own MCP server — The definitive sign that this is serious: Microsoft's security platform offers its information to agents through MCP.
What Arcetec does.
Connecting is not the end: the goal is the complete process, secure and hands-free. Four areas of work.
- Integration with connectors — The ERP, the CRM and whatever you already use, connected to Copilot and Power Platform through the ecosystem's connectors and Microsoft Graph. No reinventing what already exists.
- Our own MCP — Your in-house systems talk to Copilot and to any agent: where there is no commercial connector, the Arcetec MCP exposes your system to the ecosystem, and it already runs in real solutions.
- Process automation — The workflow completes hands-free: the request comes in through Teams, the agent queries and writes to the systems, and the record is done, with a trail of every step.
- Integration security — VNet, DLP and least-privilege permissions by design: every integration runs with enterprise controls and keys never travel to the browser.
Integration, by the numbers
What the ecosystem brings and what Arcetec already has up and running.
- 1.400+ — systems you can integrate with connectors and Graph
- GA — MCP in Copilot Studio
- 1 — Arcetec's own MCP, running in real solutions
- 0 — new portals: everything happens inside Teams
Questions we get before getting started
What is MCP?
Does it work with in-house systems?
Are credentials exposed?
What if the system doesn't even have an API?
