1
Get your Lightsage API key
Open the Lightsage dashboard and copy your API key.Use the key only where your Copilot Studio connector setup supports API-key authentication. Do not paste it into shared connector docs, screenshots, or public repositories.
2
Connect the Lightsage MCP server
In Copilot Studio, open your agent and use the MCP onboarding flow to connect an existing MCP server.Set the server URL to:When the connector asks for authentication, use the header name
X-Lightsage-Api-Key with your Lightsage API key if custom API-key headers are supported. If your tenant requires OAuth or another auth model, it cannot connect directly to the hosted Lightsage MCP endpoint today. Use a private server-side wrapper that injects the Lightsage API key.3
Add Lightsage tools to the agent
Open the agent’s Tools page, choose Add a tool, select Model Context Protocol, and select the Lightsage MCP connector.Keep the default tool selection first. After the server is connected, turn off tools the agent does not need.
4
Verify the agent
Publish or test the agent, then run a read-only prompt:If tool calls fail with
401, confirm the connector is sending X-Lightsage-Api-Key on every request.
