Overview
The video explains that the Business Central MCP server is no longer limited to the core V2 APIs. Any API with a published Microsoft endpoint, such as subscription billing, e-invoicing and automation APIs, can now be enabled in an MCP server configuration and used by agents.
It demonstrates configuring the MCP server: APIs can be added individually, or in bulk through the add tools by API group action. Groups exist for areas such as analytics, automation APIs, e-document and intercompany. The presenter points to aka.ms/bcintegration as the documentation landing page and says a separate video on API queries in MCP server should be watched alongside this one before building agents.
Key points
- All Microsoft published APIs are available in the MCP server, not only the core V2 APIs. This includes subscription billing, e-invoicing and automation APIs.
- In the MCP server configuration, add APIs one by one or use the add tools by API group action to add every API in a group.
- API groups exist for analytics, automation APIs, e-document, intercompany and other functional areas.
- Added APIs can be set to something other than read-only, if they support it and are not read-only by default.
- The April 2026 (2026 wave 1) release shipped earlier MCP server enhancements. All Microsoft APIs and API queries come with version 28.2.
- API queries in MCP server are covered in a separate video. Watch it before building agents.
