Microsoft Copilot imports plugins in the Agent Plugins format
Microsoft's 365 Developer Blog introduced Work IQ Developer Tools (WIQD) on 30 September 2026. A plugin that already uses the Agent Plugins format, which packages skills and MCP server configurations, can be imported, validated and packaged for Microsoft Copilot. It can then be shared with named users or a whole tenant, or submitted through Partner Center for certification. The plugin commands are in public preview and may change.
Why it matters
One package of skills and MCP server settings can now reach Microsoft Copilot without a rebuild, next to other clients that read the same format. The MCP server inside the package still has to answer when the client connects.
