# Create Adaptive Cards for MCP Plugins
|
||||
|
||||
Add Adaptive Card response templates to MCP-based API plugins to enhance how data is presented visually in Microsoft 365 Copilot.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adaptive Card Types
|
||||
|
||||
### Static Response Templates
|
||||
Use when API always returns items of the same type and format doesn't change often.
|
||||
|
||||
Define in `response_semantics.static_template` in ai-plugin.json:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"functions": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "GetBudgets",
|
||||
"description": "Returns budget details including name and available funds",
|
||||
"capabilities": {
|
||||
"response_semantics": {
|
||||
"data_path": "$",
|
||||
"properties": {
|
||||
"title": "$.name",
|
||||
"subtitle": "$.availableFunds"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"static_template": {
|
||||
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
|
||||
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
|
||||
"version": "1.5",
|
||||
"body": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "Container",
|
||||
"$data": "${$root}",
|
||||
"items": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "TextBlock",
|
||||
"text": "Name: ${if(name, name, 'N/A')}",
|
||||
"wrap": true
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "TextBlock",
|
||||
"text": "Available funds: ${if(availableFunds, formatNumber(availableFunds, 2), 'N/A')}",
|
||||
"wrap": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Dynamic Response Templates
|
||||
Use when API returns multiple types and each item needs a different template.
|
||||
|
||||
**ai-plugin.json configuration:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "GetTransactions",
|
||||
"description": "Returns transaction details with dynamic templates",
|
||||
"capabilities": {
|
||||
"response_semantics": {
|
||||
"data_path": "$.transactions",
|
||||
"properties": {
|
||||
"template_selector": "$.displayTemplate"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**API Response with Embedded Templates:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"transactions": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"budgetName": "Fourth Coffee lobby renovation",
|
||||
"amount": -2000,
|
||||
"description": "Property survey for permit application",
|
||||
"expenseCategory": "permits",
|
||||
"displayTemplate": "$.templates.debit"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"budgetName": "Fourth Coffee lobby renovation",
|
||||
"amount": 5000,
|
||||
"description": "Additional funds to cover cost overruns",
|
||||
"expenseCategory": null,
|
||||
"displayTemplate": "$.templates.credit"
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"templates": {
|
||||
"debit": {
|
||||
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
|
||||
"version": "1.5",
|
||||
"body": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "TextBlock",
|
||||
"size": "medium",
|
||||
"weight": "bolder",
|
||||
"color": "attention",
|
||||
"text": "Debit"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "FactSet",
|
||||
"facts": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"title": "Budget",
|
||||
"value": "${budgetName}"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"title": "Amount",
|
||||
"value": "${formatNumber(amount, 2)}"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"title": "Category",
|
||||
"value": "${if(expenseCategory, expenseCategory, 'N/A')}"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"title": "Description",
|
||||
"value": "${if(description, description, 'N/A')}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"credit": {
|
||||
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
|
||||
"version": "1.5",
|
||||
"body": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "TextBlock",
|
||||
"size": "medium",
|
||||
"weight": "bolder",
|
||||
"color": "good",
|
||||
"text": "Credit"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "FactSet",
|
||||
"facts": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"title": "Budget",
|
||||
"value": "${budgetName}"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"title": "Amount",
|
||||
"value": "${formatNumber(amount, 2)}"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"title": "Description",
|
||||
"value": "${if(description, description, 'N/A')}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Combined Static and Dynamic Templates
|
||||
Use static template as default when item doesn't have template_selector or when value doesn't resolve.
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"capabilities": {
|
||||
"response_semantics": {
|
||||
"data_path": "$.items",
|
||||
"properties": {
|
||||
"title": "$.name",
|
||||
"template_selector": "$.templateId"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"static_template": {
|
||||
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
|
||||
"version": "1.5",
|
||||
"body": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "TextBlock",
|
||||
"text": "Default: ${name}",
|
||||
"wrap": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Response Semantics Properties
|
||||
|
||||
### data_path
|
||||
JSONPath query indicating where data resides in API response:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"data_path": "$" // Root of response
|
||||
"data_path": "$.results" // In results property
|
||||
"data_path": "$.data.items"// Nested path
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### properties
|
||||
Map response fields for Copilot citations:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"properties": {
|
||||
"title": "$.name", // Citation title
|
||||
"subtitle": "$.description", // Citation subtitle
|
||||
"url": "$.link" // Citation link
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### template_selector
|
||||
Property on each item indicating which template to use:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"template_selector": "$.displayTemplate"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Adaptive Card Template Language
|
||||
|
||||
### Conditional Rendering
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "TextBlock",
|
||||
"text": "${if(field, field, 'N/A')}" // Show field or 'N/A'
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Number Formatting
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "TextBlock",
|
||||
"text": "${formatNumber(amount, 2)}" // Two decimal places
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Binding
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "Container",
|
||||
"$data": "${$root}", // Break to root context
|
||||
"items": [ ... ]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Conditional Display
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "Image",
|
||||
"url": "${imageUrl}",
|
||||
"$when": "${imageUrl != null}" // Only show if imageUrl exists
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Card Elements
|
||||
|
||||
### TextBlock
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "TextBlock",
|
||||
"text": "Text content",
|
||||
"size": "medium", // small, default, medium, large, extraLarge
|
||||
"weight": "bolder", // lighter, default, bolder
|
||||
"color": "attention", // default, dark, light, accent, good, warning, attention
|
||||
"wrap": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### FactSet
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "FactSet",
|
||||
"facts": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"title": "Label",
|
||||
"value": "Value"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Image
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "Image",
|
||||
"url": "https://example.com/image.png",
|
||||
"size": "medium", // auto, stretch, small, medium, large
|
||||
"style": "default" // default, person
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Container
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "Container",
|
||||
"$data": "${items}", // Iterate over array
|
||||
"items": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "TextBlock",
|
||||
"text": "${name}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ColumnSet
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "ColumnSet",
|
||||
"columns": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "Column",
|
||||
"width": "auto",
|
||||
"items": [ ... ]
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "Column",
|
||||
"width": "stretch",
|
||||
"items": [ ... ]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Actions
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "Action.OpenUrl",
|
||||
"title": "View Details",
|
||||
"url": "https://example.com/item/${id}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Responsive Design Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Single-Column Layouts
|
||||
- Use single columns for narrow viewports
|
||||
- Avoid multi-column layouts when possible
|
||||
- Ensure cards work at minimum viewport width
|
||||
|
||||
### Flexible Widths
|
||||
- Don't assign fixed widths to elements
|
||||
- Use "auto" or "stretch" for width properties
|
||||
- Allow elements to resize with viewport
|
||||
- Fixed widths OK for icons/avatars only
|
||||
|
||||
### Text and Images
|
||||
- Avoid placing text and images in same row
|
||||
- Exception: Small icons or avatars
|
||||
- Use "wrap": true for text content
|
||||
- Test at various viewport widths
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Across Hubs
|
||||
Validate cards in:
|
||||
- Teams (desktop and mobile)
|
||||
- Word
|
||||
- PowerPoint
|
||||
- Various viewport widths (contract/expand UI)
|
||||
|
||||
## Complete Example
|
||||
|
||||
**ai-plugin.json:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"functions": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "SearchProjects",
|
||||
"description": "Search for projects with status and details",
|
||||
"capabilities": {
|
||||
"response_semantics": {
|
||||
"data_path": "$.projects",
|
||||
"properties": {
|
||||
"title": "$.name",
|
||||
"subtitle": "$.status",
|
||||
"url": "$.projectUrl"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"static_template": {
|
||||
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
|
||||
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
|
||||
"version": "1.5",
|
||||
"body": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "Container",
|
||||
"$data": "${$root}",
|
||||
"items": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "TextBlock",
|
||||
"size": "medium",
|
||||
"weight": "bolder",
|
||||
"text": "${if(name, name, 'Untitled Project')}",
|
||||
"wrap": true
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "FactSet",
|
||||
"facts": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"title": "Status",
|
||||
"value": "${status}"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"title": "Owner",
|
||||
"value": "${if(owner, owner, 'Unassigned')}"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"title": "Due Date",
|
||||
"value": "${if(dueDate, dueDate, 'Not set')}"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"title": "Budget",
|
||||
"value": "${if(budget, formatNumber(budget, 2), 'N/A')}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "TextBlock",
|
||||
"text": "${if(description, description, 'No description')}",
|
||||
"wrap": true,
|
||||
"separator": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"actions": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "Action.OpenUrl",
|
||||
"title": "View Project",
|
||||
"url": "${projectUrl}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
Ask the user:
|
||||
1. What type of data does the API return?
|
||||
2. Are all items the same type (static) or different types (dynamic)?
|
||||
3. What fields should appear in the card?
|
||||
4. Should there be actions (e.g., "View Details")?
|
||||
5. Are there multiple states or categories requiring different templates?
|
||||
|
||||
Then generate:
|
||||
- Appropriate response_semantics configuration
|
||||
- Static template, dynamic templates, or both
|
||||
- Proper data binding with conditional rendering
|
||||
- Responsive single-column layout
|
||||
- Test scenarios for validation

||||

## Common Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### List with Images
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "Container",
|
||||
"$data": "${items}",
|
||||
"items": [

|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Status Indicators
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{

"type": "TextBlock",
|
||||
"text": "${status}",
|
||||
"color": "${if(status == 'Completed', 'good', if(status == 'In Progress', 'attention', 'default'))}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Currency Formatting
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "TextBlock",
|
||||
"text": "$${formatNumber(amount, 2)}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
