    It should work, though HPE doesn't name it. The Mist MCP server is a remote HTTP endpoint, and HPE's Mist MCP setup page says any MCP client with remote HTTP support will do. It lists Claude Desktop, Claude Code and VS Code: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/mist/mist-aiops/shared-content/topics/concept/juniper-mist-mcp-claude.html

    The headers are what to watch in Copilot Studio. Mist expects Authorization: Bearer with your API token, plus X-Mist-Base-URL for your regional cloud. X-Mist-Org-ID is optional and pins it to one org. The Copilot Studio MCP wizard takes a single API key header. If it won't carry the base URL as well, a custom connector that adds that header is where I'd go next.

    Create a read-only org token for it. The Mist token guide covers access levels: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/mist/automation-integration/topics/task/create-token-for-rest-api.html Get your security team to sign off first, because the MCP can hand PSKs and RADIUS secrets to whatever model sits on the other end.

    Seema, did Copilot Studio connect? If the tools list comes back empty or errors, check that X-Mist-Base-URL actually went through with the Bearer token. The wizard only takes one header, so it's the one most likely to get dropped. If it's working now, marking it solved helps the next person who searches for this.
