How do I join MDPE water pipe to copper? I see copper adaptor sets, do
these make the copper "look like" MDPE to a MDPE connector? Are there
connectores with an MDPE side and a copper side?

Just buy the correct MDPE compression fiting - any plumbers merchant
will stock ... make sure you use the pipe support sleeve insert.

A straight MDPE connector with a copper adaptor set is exactly what you
want and they do just make the copper look like MDPE, designs vary but
there'll usually be a rubber sleeve and er some other bits. Make sure you
sort out how it goes together before you flood the house by doing it
incorrectly, good ones from the plumbers' merchant come with a little
diagram in the bag, screwfix ones reputedly come without.

adaptor sets here, copper about half way down:

You can get 'universal transition fittings' that will do it in one go but a
reducing set is easy and cheaper, they're shown on the same page as the
adaptor sets above.
