How to use Attio with Copilot Studio
You want Attio inside Copilot Studio so it can keep CRM records current, turn deal calls into follow-up work, find records needing attention, and organize records into lists — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.
Create your Attio gateway
The gateway is the thing Copilot Studio connects to, and it is where you decide which Attio tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.
-
Create an Arcade account
Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
-
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Attio tools
In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Attio tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
-
Copy your gateway URL
Every client below needs it.
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
Connect the gateway to Copilot Studio
Needs a Microsoft 365 subscription with access to Copilot Studio, plus an Arcade API key.
-
Add an MCP tool to your agent
In Copilot Studio, open your agent → Tools → Add a tool → Model Context Protocol → New tool.
-
Point it at your gateway
Give the server a name and description, put your gateway URL in Server URL, set Authentication to OAuth 2.0 and Type to Dynamic discovery.
-
Authorize and try it out
Saving redirects you to Arcade to approve access. Then start a conversation and use your Attio tools — Arcade authorizes each service just in time.

Get started with these Attio prompts
Copilot Studio can now act on your Attio account. Click a prompt to copy it.
Require approval before an agent creates or updates records, adds notes or tasks, or removes records from lists. Pair it with Contextual Access policies so agents can read CRM data and call transcripts without being allowed to change pipeline records.
