The package is a day old, the linked MIT repository holds no source, no changelog or support channel exists, the five cloud tools' schemas are visible only after sign-in, and workflow tests run live workflows billed in Copilot Credits.\n\n**Kognitos.** Kognitos has a self-serve free workspace, a public OpenAPI file and a hosted MCP server with OAuth 2.1 and scoped, expiring tokens. The 21 October AI Employees and Context Graphs are in preview for existing customers only, and their REST and MCP access isn't documented, so an outside agent can reach the automation platform but not the new parts.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Microsoft Copilot Studio MCP\n\n1. Call `copilot_studio_status` first and reuse a ready session. Don't reconnect or reselect an environment to start a new task\n2. Read an action's contract with `discover_resources` and `action=describe_actions` before building unfamiliar `parameters`\n3. Ask the person before testing a workflow. Tests run published, enabled workflows and can have real effects\n4. Never retry an uncertain write. Inspect the agent, workflow or connection first, as the error text says\n5. Expect a browser sign-in after every restart. Tell the person a window is opening and never ask for credentials in chat\n\n### Kognitos\n\n1. Don't plan on Context Graph or AI Employee calls. Neither the MCP tool list nor the OpenAPI file has them, and both are customer preview only\n2. Call `GET /me/organizations` and then list workspaces first, since nearly every path needs `organization_id` and `workspace_id`\n3. Invoke with `stage: AUTOMATION_STAGE_PUBLISHED` for production and `AUTOMATION_STAGE_DRAFT` to test, then poll the run until it leaves `pending` or `running`\n4. Treat a `waiting` run as a question for a person. Answer it through the exception tools or ask the owner, rather than retrying\n5. Use OAuth with callback port 3777 for the MCP server. Another port can fail with a callback URL mismatch\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Microsoft Copilot Studio MCP or Kognitos?\n\nKognitos scores 57 (C) on agent readiness against Microsoft Copilot Studio MCP's 53.1 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Microsoft Copilot Studio MCP leads on agent ergonomics and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Microsoft Copilot Studio MCP and Kognitos need an API key?\n\nMicrosoft Copilot Studio MCP uses an OAuth sign-in. Kognitos takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Microsoft Copilot Studio MCP and Kognitos without installing anything?\n\nMicrosoft Copilot Studio MCP runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed. Kognitos has a hosted endpoint at https://app.us-1.kognitos.com/api/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/copilot-studio-mcp-vs-kognitos.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/copilot-studio-mcp-vs-kognitos.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"copilot-studio-mcp\", \"b\": \"kognitos\"}`.
