Luca Spolidoro from the Microsoft Entra AI Innovations team joins us to unveil the new Microsoft MCP Server for Enterprise. We discuss how this innovation allows admins and AI agents to interface with their tenant using natural language, bridging the gap between LLMs and the complexity of Microsoft Graph.
We also talk about the technical challenges of token limits, the patented โthree-toolโ solution that optimizes queries, and the roadmap for write operations and PowerShell script generation.
