AgileData.io - Smoother Copilot Connection: MCP Backend Now Returns Auth Server URL

When Microsoft Copilot Studio connects to AgileData's MCP backend, the backend now returns the authentication server URL as part of the connection response. This allows Copilot to discover and use the correct authentication endpoint automatically, rather than requiring it to be manually configured on the Copilot side.

This is a step forward in making the AgileData MCP integration more self-configuring for AI agent clients. Copilot can now establish authenticated connections to the AgileData MCP server more reliably, with less manual setup required.

**What's New:**

* MCP backend returns the auth server URL when Copilot connects
* Copilot can discover the authentication endpoint automatically from the connection response

**What this means for you:**

* Connecting Microsoft Copilot Studio to AgileData via MCP requires less manual configuration
* More reliable authenticated connections between Copilot and the AgileData MCP server
