MCP or not to MCP - that is THE question

Session Description
So, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is everywhere these days, and now that Copilot Studio jumped on board in March 2025, everyone's wondering: what's the big deal? And more importantly, what happens to all those connectors we've been using?
 
 Daniel's going to break it all down for you in this session. We'll dive into what MCP servers actually are, how you can start using them in Copilot Studio, and why you might want to try them out in other AI tools too. Fair warning: this is going to be demo-heavy, so get ready to see MCP in action across a bunch of different scenarios.
 
 What you'll walk away with:
 ✅ A solid grasp of what MCP servers are and why they're worth your time
 ✅ Practical know-how for getting MCP servers up and running in Copilot Studio
 ✅ Real examples of using both Microsoft's own MCP servers (like the Dataverse MCP server) and third-party ones in different AI tools
 
 Come ready to see lots of demos and leave with a clear understanding of whether MCP is right for your projects.
