+
+## Step 1: Prepare Your Environment
+
+Before you begin, make sure you have:
+- Access to **Microsoft Copilot Studio**: https://studio.copilot.microsoft.com
+- Access to **Power Platform**: https://make.powerapps.com
+- A **Power BI dataset** published in **Microsoft Fabric**
+- An **Azure subscription** (for secure deployment)
+- Admin rights to create **custom connectors**
+
+## Step 2: Deploy the Fabric MCP Server
+
+Microsoft provides a Fabric MCP server that supports:
+- Listing workspaces and datasets
+- Executing DAX queries
+- Triggering dataset refreshes 
+
+You can deploy it using Azure Container Apps or run it locally using Docker.
+
+> To deploy:
+1. Clone the official repo:  
+   [Microsoft Fabric MCP GitHub](https://github.com/snahrup/microsoft-fabric-mcp) 
+2. Follow the instructions in the `README.md` for:
+   - Local development
+   - Azure deployment
+   - Authentication setup (OAuth 2.0 recommended)
+
+## Step 3: Create a Custom Connector in Power Platform
+
+1. Go to https://make.powerapps.com
+2. In the left menu:
+   - Click **More** → **Discover all**
+   - Under **Data**, pin **Custom connectors**
+3. Click **Custom connectors** → **New custom connector** → **Create from blank**
+4. Name your connector (e.g., `FabricMCPConnector`) → Click **Continue**
+
+## Step 4: Configure the Connector
+1. Toggle **Swagger editor**
+2. Paste the OpenAPI (Swagger) YAML from the MCP repo:
+   - Replace `dummyurl.azurewebsites.net` with your deployed MCP server URL
+3. Click **Create connector**
+
+## Step 5: Add the MCP Connector to Copilot Studio
+
+1. Go to https://studio.copilot.microsoft.com
+2. Open your **agent**
+3. Go to **Tools** → **Add a tool**
+4. Choose **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**
+5. Fill in:
+   - **Name**: Fabric MCP
+   - **Description**: Connects to Power BI datasets via Fabric
+   - **Server URL**: `https://your-mcp-server-url/mcp`
+6. Choose **Authentication**:
+   - Use **OAuth 2.0** with Azure AD App credentials
+7. Click **Create**
+
+## Step 6: Test the Integration
+
+1. In Copilot Studio, create a **topic** like “Ask about sales data”
+2. Use the MCP tool to invoke:
+   - `tools/list` → to list available datasets
+   - `tools/query` → to run DAX queries
+3. Validate responses and format them using adaptive cards or plain text
