Microsoft announcement

The Copilot Retrieval API is generally available and now offers a sharePointEmbedded data source in preview, with pay-as-you-go billing on the Copilot Studio message meter. Users who query the API no longer each need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, but one licensed user still initializes the semantic index. For more information, see Use the Retrieval API.
You can use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to build apps with a coding agent. The open-source SharePoint Embedded MCP server npm package (@microsoft/spe-mcp) is preview software. It lets MCP-compatible AI clients, such as GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code or the CLI, Claude, or Cursor, provision and manage SharePoint Embedded applications through natural language.
