# Microsoft Copilot

Use your standards.md file with Microsoft Copilot to get brand-aware responses in any conversation.

<Info>
  For a persistent setup, [Microsoft Copilot Studio](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot/microsoft-copilot-studio) supports adding public URLs as knowledge sources and connecting MCP servers. This requires an admin or developer to configure through Copilot Studio rather than the standard Copilot chat.
