MCP Apps UI not rendering in Microsoft Copilot Chat

Hi Team,

I noticed the release notes in our LeanIX workspace about the new MCP update (Visual List, Detail View, and Relation Explorer), but I am having trouble getting the visual components to render inside Microsoft Copilot Chat.

The AI terms are signed and the MCP server is active. The AI agent even triggers the tool and says: "The Relation Explorer for [App Name] is now open. You can interactively explore all its connections..."

However, no visual UI or interactive component actually appears in the chat window - it just stays as text.

Is Microsoft Copilot Chat fully supported for the UI rendering of this new MCP update yet, or is this feature currently only possible with Claude AI? see screenshot below 👇

I get the same thing, don’t believe it’s supported yet.

    Hi ​@bakari ,

    It's exactly the same for me. I've at least managed to get Copilot to render the deep link to Relations Explorer correctly by giving it a specific instruction.

    ​@Marek Thanks for sharing your experience. We are currently checking with our product team about this and one of my colleague should most likely add a comment here soon. In the meanwhile, would you maybe like to share how you managed to get Copilot to render the deep link? How did you instruct it? 

    This should still be a valuable answer for someone looking into workarounds.

      Hi ​@bakari ​@Marek ,
      Our MCP server and apps are built to support the MCP standard. Meaning, all AI clients that support the standard should be able to render the MCP apps in a chat.
      I am sharing what I heard from our product colleagues that, Microsoft support stated that "interactive UI widget experience provided by MCP apps is not available in Copilot Studio at this time".

      Could either of you please share directly with me by private message a video recording of the issue, also your workspace name so that our product team can further understand your setup?

      Thank you!
