Prerequisites
A INGENIOUS.BUILD PRO account
An AI tool that supports MCP connectors (Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, ChatGPT Pro, or other MCP-compatible assistants)
You may need to be the account owner or an account administrator to add a custom connector depending on your AI platform
Your INGENIOUS MCP server URL:
https://mcp.ingenious.build/mcp
INGENIOUS MCP
INGENIOUS MCP connects your AI assistant directly to your live INGENIOUS.BUILD workspace data. Using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it allows MCP-compatible AI clients like Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini, and others to securely query project data, surface insights, and interact with your workspace using natural language.
Connect once, then ask questions like:
“Which RFIs across my projects are overdue?”
“What projects are currently over budget?”
“Show me pending invoice approvals.”
“Summarize schedule risks impacting critical milestones.”
“Create a meeting and assign follow-up actions.”
No exports, manual reporting, or switching between systems. Your AI assistant can work directly with live INGENIOUS data in real time.
Getting started
The fastest way to get started depends on your AI client.
Any other MCP-compatible AI client

FAQs
Is my INGENIOUS data stored by the AI tool?
No. INGENIOUS MCP only shares data with your AI tool when you make a request, and all existing workspace permissions still apply.
Can I connect multiple AI tools?
Yes. The same INGENIOUS MCP server can be connected to multiple MCP-compatible AI platforms.
How do I disconnect access?
Remove the INGENIOUS.BUILD connector from your AI platform’s integrations or connector settings at any time.
Summary
You only need to set up the INGENIOUS MCP connection once per AI tool. Once connected, your AI assistant can pull live data from your INGENIOUS workspace anytime you ask a question — no exports, no switching tabs, no manual copy-paste. The connection stays active until you revoke it.
