Extending agentic Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales with MCP

Open by design: Dynamics 365 Sales and first-party agents are extensible through the Model Context Protocol (MCP)

AI agents are only as capable as the tools, skills, and information they can easily connect to. In sales, the intelligence that drives great decisions—buying signals, conversation insights, market and account context—often lives outside the customer relationship management (CRM). Getting it into the flow of work has traditionally meant costly integrations or data-duplication projects only the largest companies could sustain.

The Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is an open standard that lets AI agents securely connect to external tools, systems, and data sources.  MCP helps organizations unlock the full value of their CRM data by connecting agents to the systems, tools, and knowledge they already use. It extends first-party agents, unifies fragmented business data, brings CRM intelligence into any experience, and accelerates the development of custom agents. For Dynamics 365 Sales, that means agents can securely tap trusted intelligence in real time without requiring sellers or IT teams to rebuild integrations or duplicate data. The value shifts from data plumbing to intelligent action, giving sellers and sales leaders a more complete, connected, and actionable experience inside Dynamics 365 Sales.

Our Microsoft-built sales agents in Dynamics 365 Sales—including the Sales Qualification Agent and Sales Opportunity Agent—are built on Microsoft Copilot Studio, where MCP tools plug in natively. You can bring your existing partners, licenses, and trusted data directly into Dynamics 365 first-party agent experiences without standing up new CRM integrations or duplicating data.

The result

• Higher-value Dynamics 365 first-party agents that reason over trusted third-party intelligence  and improve output and results.
• Lower friction to adoption, because you can use the tools you already have and trust across multiple experiences.
• Clear differentiation, where the Microsoft experience can better support agentic sales use cases and workflows, connecting CRM data, partner intelligence, and business context across Dynamics 365 Sales, Microsoft 365, and beyond.

MCP helps turn Dynamics 365 into an agent-powered engine for action

Data and sales intelligence are just the beginning. Because MCP is an open protocol, the same model that brings trusted data into your agents can connect them to nearly any external system or capability, from research and enrichment to workflow, analytics, and tools your teams have not even adopted yet. Today’s launch partners are a powerful starting point and as the MCP ecosystem grows, so does what your agents can do. This strengthens the broader Microsoft Copilot ecosystem and reinforces Microsoft’s agent extensibility.

Not just first-party agents 

These partner MCP servers also work with any custom agent built in Copilot Studio, not only our first-party Dynamics 365 Sales agents. Customers can bring this same flexibility into the agents they build for their own specific workflows.

If you already subscribe to these solutions, this is immediate added value. Your existing subscription now flows directly into your agentic workflows in Dynamics 365 Sales, putting data and capabilities you already have to work inside the agent experience, with no duplicate integration or added licensing.

Announcing new MCP partners

1. ZoomInfo

ZoomInfo: Connect ZoomInfo’s verified business-to-business (B2B) data and context to Microsoft Copilot Studio via ZoomInfo’s headless go-to-market (GTM) context layer, GTM.ai. This surfaces 400M contacts, 100M companies, 120M direct dials, and billions of buying signals inside Microsoft Dynamics 365. In Dynamics 365 Sales agents, customers can enrich contact and account records inline with verified contacts, firmographics, technographics, funding history, and intent signals without manual entry or tab switching.

2. Dun & Bradstreet

Dun & Bradstreet: Anchored by the global standard D-U-N-S® Number identifier, the D&B Commercial Graph MCP server provides the foundational context layer that allows AI agents to understand business identity, relationships, and risk across the global economy, delivering outputs that are consistent, explainable, and auditable. Leverage the Commercial Graph in Copilot Studio to create custom agents and workflows across finance and credit, supply chain, compliance, risk, sales & marketing, and enterprise master data use cases.

3. LeadIQ

LeadIQ: LeadIQ connects directly into the Sales Qualification Agent, the same AI agent already researching and scoring every lead that enters Dynamics 365 Sales. Instead of bolting on a separate enrichment step, LeadIQ becomes a knowledge source inside that existing research flow: as the agent evaluates a lead, it calls LeadIQ for a verified work email and phone number, and the result lands in the lead’s Deeper insights alongside the agent’s other findings, cited, sourced, and ready before a seller ever opens the record. There’s no new tool to learn and no separate enrichment step to run. Verification just becomes part of your Dynamics 365 workflow.

4. Draup

Draup: Draup brings context-rich account and market intelligence into the Sales Qualification Agent—hiring surges, funding events, IT spend shifts, executive moves—then converts those buying signals into clear next actions. Every lead arrives researched, prioritized, and paired with a recommended play.

5. Gong

Gong: Bring Gong’s account and deal insights directly into the Dynamics 365 agent experience. With real-time customer insights like objections raised, risks flagged, or agreed-upon next steps right at sellers’ fingertips, GTM teams can execute on informed next-best actions.

6. Enlyft

Enlyft: Enlyft helps B2B technology vendors and their partners turn deep account intelligence—technology adoption, buying propensity, and competitive footprint into pipeline. Our MCP connector brings that intelligence into Dynamics 365 Sales agents, so a qualification agent reasons over a prospect’s real tech stack, competitive install base, and fit signals before a seller ever engages.

7. HG Insights

HG Insights. HG Insights extends Dynamics 365 Sales agents with trusted B2B market context through Model Context Protocol (MCP), giving sellers direct access to company intelligence—such as technology adoption, cloud and AI maturity, IT investment signals, firmographics, and market context—right inside the agent experience. By combining CRM data with this external market intelligence, Dynamics 365 Sales agents help reps prioritize accounts, uncover whitespace opportunities, and recommend more informed next actions throughout the sales cycle. HG Insights is trusted by 95% of Fortune 1000 B2B tech companies and every major hyperscaler to find, target, and convert their best opportunities faster, and this integration brings that same market intelligence to Dynamics 365 users.

These launch partners highlight how powerful and extensible Dynamics 365 Sales agents can become with MCP: more connected, more contextual, and easier to extend with the partner intelligence customers already trust. Customer can use parter MCP tools with Microsoft-built agents such as Sales Qualification Agent and Sales Opportunity Agent, or bring those same tools into custom agents built in Copilot Studio.

To get started, choose the sales scenario you want to improve, connect the right partner MCP tool, and define the insight or action the agent should support. Learn how to add custom research insights and MCP tools to Dynamics 365 Sales agents.

Want to become a partner? The MCP ecosystem on Copilot Studio is open and growing. Certify your MCP server to make your solution available to Dynamics 365 Sales customers.
