Add Starcovery to Microsoft 365 Copilot

By Starcovery. Updated .

Install the Starcovery agent in your Microsoft 365 organization so people can search creators, save Lists, reveal contacts, and run campaigns from Copilot.

This page covers installing the Starcovery agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot for one organization. The agent connects Copilot to the Starcovery MCP server, so people in your organization can find Instagram and TikTok creators from a brief, save Lists, reveal contacts, and run campaigns from Copilot.

A Microsoft 365 admin installs the agent for the organization. The agent is not listed in the Microsoft agent store.

Before you start

You need:

Each person who uses the agent needs a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, or Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat through an eligible Microsoft 365 license. See Plan licensing and cost for Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility.

Each person also needs a Starcovery account. Copilot asks each person to sign in to Starcovery. The agent spends the credits of the Starcovery organization that the person picks under Give access to on the Starcovery consent screen.

Download the agent

Download starcovery-copilot.zip and unzip it. The starcovery-copilot folder holds the agent files and m365agents.yml, the project file that the toolkit reads.

Register the agent with your organization

Copilot signs people in to Starcovery through a sign-in registration that Microsoft stores for your organization. The Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit creates the registration and builds the agent package.

  1. Open a terminal in the starcovery-copilot folder.

  2. Sign in with your Microsoft 365 admin account:

    npx -y @microsoft/m365agentstoolkit-cli auth login m365
  3. Register the agent and build its package:

    npx -y @microsoft/m365agentstoolkit-cli provision --env dev

The provision command creates the app in the Teams Developer Portal, registers Copilot as a Starcovery sign-in client, stores that registration for your organization, checks the package with Microsoft's validation rules, and saves the package as appPackage/build/starcovery.zip. It writes the app ID and the registration ID to env/.env.dev.

Upload the agent

  1. In the Microsoft 365 admin center, open Copilot controls and select Agents > Upload custom agent.
  2. Select Choose File, then select appPackage/build/starcovery.zip in the starcovery-copilot folder.
  3. Check the agent's name, icon, and host products, then select Next.
  4. Select who gets the agent, then select Next. To try the agent before other people get it, select Just me.
  5. Review the agent's permissions and capabilities, then select Next.
  6. Select Finish deployment.

Microsoft describes these steps in Upload Microsoft Copilot custom agents.

Use the agent

Open Microsoft 365 Copilot and pick the Starcovery agent. Pick a conversation starter, or describe the creators you want:

Find 15 nano creators who film quiet morning coffee at home on Instagram or TikTok.

When Copilot asks you to sign in to Starcovery, sign in and pick the organization under Give access to.

The agent's instructions tell Copilot to ask you before it reveals a contact, sends or funds a campaign, or deletes anything. Searches, contact reveals, and the other tools spend credits as they do over MCP. See Pay for API calls without a subscription.
