Business Central 29.0 expands Copilot, MCP

Business Central 29.0 adds a Copilot chat experience, smarter Payables Agent workflows, expanded MCP Server data querying, and new AI-assisted developer tools. Copilot chat remains in public preview, while several agent and MCP capabilities are generally available. [Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/whatsnew/whatsnew-update-29-0)

// ANALYSIS

The important shift is Business Central becoming a governed tool surface for AI agents, not simply adding another chatbot. MCP access and AL developer tooling make the ERP more programmable, though preview status and enterprise permissions still demand careful pilots.

–MCP Server can define, validate, and run custom data queries for compatible agents.
–Payables Agent improves purchase-order matching using line amounts and expected receipt dates.
–Developers gain dynamic AL MCP workspaces, activity logging, environment discovery, AI-assisted debugging, and performance profiling.
–The split between generally available MCP and agent features and preview Copilot chat makes rollout uneven.
–Teams should test permissions, auditability, extension compatibility, and human review before automating financial workflows.
