Using Dynamics 365 ERP MCP Server from a Standalone Copilot Studio Environment

We have a Copilot Studio environment that is not connected to Dataverse and is not linked to any Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations environment. We would like to use the Dynamics 365 ERP MCP Server from an agent in this Copilot Studio environment to retrieve data from F&O.

Is this configuration supported?

If so:

1. What connection and authentication setup is required between Copilot Studio and the Dynamics 365 ERP MCP Server?
2. Does the Copilot Studio environment need to be linked to the target F&O environment or Dataverse environment?
3. Can the ERP MCP Server connect directly to F&O independently of the Copilot Studio environment?
4. How is user authentication handled when the agent invokes MCP tools? Does the MCP connection use the authenticated user's F&O permissions, a service principal, or the connection owner's credentials?
5. Are there any prerequisites, limitations, or recommended architectures for using the ERP MCP Server from a standalone Copilot Studio environment?
