This protocol allows Copilot to interact with tools and receive structured data, enabling it to provision resources like Key Vaults and Service Bus namespaces. The MCP server, developed by Topaz, facilitates this by acting as an intermediary between Copilot and local Azure emulators, with specific Docker networking configurations required for seamless operation.
