MCP server

Give InnoGPT superpowers by connecting your external tools - with these instructions, it only takes a few minutes.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It’s an open standard that acts as a universal bridge between InnoGPT and your external tools (such as project management software, CRM systems, etc.).

Think of it this way: MCP gives the AI “superpowers” by teaching it how to communicate with the APIs of other programs. Once a connection is established via MCP, the AI can perform actions in these tools directly from the chat—for example, create a new ticket in Jira, retrieve customer data from Salesforce, or create a to-do list in Asana.

How to connect an MCP server inInnoGPT

Setup is straightforward. Just follow these steps:

Step 1: Open the MCP menu In
your settings, navigate to the "MCP" tab under "Personal Settings." Click the "Add MCP Server" button to begin setup.

Step 2: Enter server details
Fill in the required information in the pop-up window:

  • Name: Give the connection a clear name (e.g., "Linear").

  • Type: Select the connection type (e.g., SSE).

  • URL: Enter the specific URL of the service.

  • Headers (optional): Add authentication headers if necessary.

Then click "Add Server."

Step 3: Test and authenticate the connection
Your newly added server will now appear in the overview. Click the refresh icon (the arrows) to test the interface. If authentication is required, the "Authenticate" button will appear. Click it to start the process.

Step 4: Authorize access in the
external tool You will now be redirected to the external service (in this example, Linear). Confirm the connection request by clicking "Approve" (or a similar button) to grant InnoGPT access.

Step 5: Connection confirmed
After successful approval, you will be redirected back to InnoGPT. The server will now be displayed with a green dot and the status "OAuth connected." Your integration is now active and ready to use!

Step 6: Activate and use the MCP server
in chat To use your connected tool, start a new chat.

  • Click on the MCP icon (the crossed lines) in the input bar

  • Activate the desired server (e.g., "Linear") using the toggle.

  • Now enter a command in natural language, e.g., "Show me the 5 latest issues in Linear." The AI will now use the tool to process your request and display the result directly in the chat.

The AI can now retrieve information or perform actions via the MCP server (varies by provider).
