Custom Celonis MCP Server at Microsoft Copilot Studio

Currently, Microsoft (MSFT) Copilot Studio has the limitation of not being able to name the connection you create when adding an MCP tool. Therefore, when using the standard Celonis MCP Server at MSFT Copilot studio, you might face the issue of having multiple connections with the same name:

mcp-connections

To mitigate this issue, you can follow this guide to create a custom Celonis MCP Server connection at MSFT Copilot Studio.
