Microsoft Copilot Studio agents can call Nimble’s web data toolkit — search, extract, map, crawl, and Web Search Agents — through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This page covers the manual setup: add the Nimble MCP server to an agent using the built-in MCP onboarding wizard.

​
What you get

  • Nimble’s web data toolkit in any Copilot Studio agent — search, extract, map, crawl, and Web Search Agents
  • Dynamic tool discovery — the agent picks up every Nimble MCP tool automatically; new tools appear without reconfiguration
  • OAuth 2.1 sign-in — authenticate in the browser during setup; no API key to paste, manage, or rotate
  • Streamable HTTP transport at https://mcp.nimbleway.com/mcp

​
Prerequisites

  • A Microsoft Copilot Studio environment with an agent you can edit (licensing details)
  • A Nimble account — sign up free. Sign-in happens through OAuth during setup; no API key to paste.
MCP routes tool results through the agent’s context window and can consume tokens quickly. For high-volume retrieval, consider the Nimble API directly.

​
Add Nimble MCP to your agent

The MCP onboarding wizard is the fastest way to connect an existing MCP server. It lives inside Copilot Studio — no trip to Power Apps required.
1

Open the Tools page and add a tool

In Copilot Studio, open your agent and go to the Tools page. Select Add a tool.

2

Choose Model Context Protocol

In the Add tool dialog, under Create new, select Model Context Protocol.

3

Enter the Nimble server details and authentication

Fill in the server fields, then set authentication to OAuth 2.0 with type Dynamic discovery. Nimble MCP supports OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration (DCR), so it advertises its endpoints automatically — there’s nothing else to configure. Select Create.
FieldValue
Server nameNimble MCP
Server descriptionNimble turns the live internet into structured, reliable data for AI — search, extract, map, and crawl any website, plus purpose-built Web Search Agents for your use case at scale.

AuthenticationOAuth 2.0 → Dynamic discovery
The agent orchestrator uses the description to decide when to call Nimble — keep it clear and specific.

4

Create a connection

Copilot Studio creates the custom connector. On the Add tool dialog, open the Connection dropdown and select Create new connection.

5

Approve the OAuth consent

A browser window opens to authorize with your Nimble workspace. Review the requested permissions — verify identity, maintain access when offline, search and extract, and manage Web Search Agents — and select Approve. Copilot Studio stores the tokens and refreshes them automatically.

6

Add to the agent

Back on the Add tool dialog, select Add and configure. Copilot Studio discovers the Nimble tools and lists them under the agent’s tools.

​
Verify the connection

Open a test chat with your agent and send a prompt that forces a Nimble tool call: 
Search the web for the latest Microsoft Build 2026 announcements,
then extract the full text of the top result as clean data.
The agent calls Nimble Search, then Extract, and returns results grounded in live web data. If the tools run and return content, the connection works end to end.

Expand the activity map in the test pane to confirm the agent invoked the Nimble tools (nimble_search and nimble_extract) rather than answering from its own knowledge.
