With all the (justified) excitement around MCP servers, I thought it’d be great to show another approach -- without MCP -- using Copilot Studio and OData Services.
Just let LLM select the right API and generate the query that fits your needs.

We continue our discussions with Alice Vinogradova. Is vibe coding with ABAP possible? What can you do if you leverage the OData MCP Bridge and zLLM for grounding? Check out our last session with Alice www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qAh... #SAPonAzure

Thank you so much @timojohn.bsky.social for your feedback. As mentioned we are learning right now and need to know where to improve and put our investments. We are far from being perfect here. 😛

I guess you already saw docs.github.com/en/copilot/m...

I think it is as you said: 2,000 code completions per month and 50 total chat requests. It is not a huge number, but still… please share your feedback and let us know where / how to improve

About individual Copilot plans and benefits - GitHub Docs

GitHub offers several Copilot plans for individual developers, each with different features, model access, and usage limits to support a wide range of coding needs.
