Error in MCP custom connector

(4) ShareShare

Hi ,
I wanted to know what exactly can be causing this error on the custom power connector for MCP in my copilot topic. The agent works as expected while using in copilot studio. This is the error i get when publishing.​
    "diagnosticResult": [
      {
        "$kind": "ElementValidationError",
        "errorCode": "ExternalAgentTaskActionDoesNotAllowRedirect",
        "errorMessage": "Element is invalid: ExternalAgentTaskActionDoesNotAllowRedirect"
      }
 
For more context, my MCP server is hosted as a web app which my azure APIM makes a request to. My power connector is only for the azure APIM url.
This error has started appearing after the May 29th MCP general availability update. What i've tried so far is:
  • removed custom connector from copilot studio and re add them.
  • Created a new custom connector in power platform, add that to a new topic in agent.
  • simply remove action from a topic and add it back again.
I'm not sure where the redirect is coming from . 

My custom power connector swagger.

    Putting in the fix to this problem here. 

    Calling MCP as an action inside a topic in copilot was part of the older documentation. After the June update you don't need to explicitly add MCP tools to topic and just add them to the agent. After removing all MCP actions from my agent topics all my errors are gone and tool calling is working as expected.

    Just make sure your MCP are appearing in the "tools" tab, there is no further need to add any action in topic.

    have you tried with the new streamable http, since sse will be deprecated? 
     
    i am getting the typical generic error: "Sorry, something went wrong. Error code: SystemError. Conversation ID: xxxx"
