Overview
INGENIOUS.BUILD can connect to Microsoft Copilot through Microsoft’s MCP connector framework. Once connected, Copilot can securely interact with your INGENIOUS.BUILD workspace to retrieve project data and assist with workflows directly in conversations.
Prerequisites
A Microsoft 365 Copilot license
Access to Microsoft Copilot Studio or Microsoft 365 Admin Center
Admin permissions may be required depending on your organization’s Copilot configuration
Setup
1. Open Copilot Connectors
In the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, navigate to:
Copilot → Connectors
Then select:
Gallery → Create a new connector
2. Add the INGENIOUS.BUILD MCP server
Under Connect to MCP server, click Add and enter:
Display Name: INGENIOUS.BUILD
Base URL:
https://mcp.ingenious.build/mcp
Continue through the setup wizard.
3. Configure authentication
Microsoft Copilot supports OAuth authentication for MCP connectors.
During setup, sign in with your INGENIOUS.BUILD account when prompted to securely connect your workspace. Authentication is handled using OAuth, so there are no API keys or credentials to manually distribute to end users.
4. Deploy the connector
After the connector is created, deploy it to users or groups within your Microsoft 365 organization.
Depending on your organization’s setup, admins can stage the rollout for testing before enabling it organization-wide.
Some organizations may require Microsoft Entra or Teams Developer Portal configuration before custom MCP connectors can be deployed.
5. Start using INGENIOUS.BUILD in Copilot
Once connected, users can ask Copilot to help with tasks such as:
Find overdue RFIs
Summarize pending change orders
Review budget variances
Create meeting minutes
Generate project updates
Copilot can securely retrieve live information from your INGENIOUS.BUILD workspace directly in conversations.
