Introducing acquaint, an R package that turns your R sessions into a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This allows MCP-enabled tools like Claude Desktop and Claude Code to run #rstats code _in your active R sessions_ to explore objects, read documentation, etc. posit-dev.github.io/acquaint/

Is there a way to sync this up with @microsoft.com copilot?

Thanks I will have to try it out!

Can confirm this works. After a bit of looking about: Switch the Copilot panel to Agent, click the Configure Tools button to the left of the send message button, choose Add More Tools, choose Command, fill in the RScript command as per the website.
