If your team already lives in Microsoft 365, your Smartsheet data is now just a prompt away. We've launched a pre-built, MCP-enabled connector that lets you connect Smartsheet to Microsoft Copilot. Setup is handled once by a system administrator through Copilot Studio, after which the connector is available organization-wide with no per-user configuration required.
Once connected, you can ask Copilot questions like "What are the open risks in my Q3 launch plan?" or "Update all tasks assigned to @james to Complete" and get instant answers and actions from your live Smartsheet data, right in Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel or more. Every response is grounded in real-time Smartsheet data, not a cached snapshot, and every action runs under your own permissions, so Copilot can only see and modify what you already have access to. No exports, no tab-switching, no copying data between tools.
Copilot Studio is where you go further. With the Smartsheet MCP connector as a native tool, you or a developer on your team can compose agents that would have required months of custom engineering two years ago. A Project Health Agent can monitor a portfolio of sheets, identify slipped statuses or missed deadlines, post a digest to a Teams channel, and write back, updating a row, triggering a Smartsheet automation, or escalating a priority. Built in an afternoon, not a sprint. No additional licensing or infrastructure required.
This connector is powered by the Smartsheet MCP Server, the same foundation behind our Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini connectors, bringing the same tools and capabilities into the Microsoft ecosystem. Learn More.
Note: Setup requires Microsoft Copilot Studio admin access. The Smartsheet MCP connector for Microsoft Copilot is currently available in preview — to access it, users must sign up for the Microsoft preview program
