Connect an AI assistant to Biosphere
An AI assistant that supports custom MCP connectors can read your Biosphere business once you approve it. Configure → AI connections gives you the address to connect, lists the applications you have connected and lets you revoke them. It also holds the Scout profile.
Connect an assistant
- Open Configure, then AI connections.
- Under Remote MCP endpoint, select the Copy URL button.
- In the other assistant, add a custom MCP connector and paste the address.
- When the assistant sends you to Biosphere, sign in if asked. The Connect an MCP application screen shows the requesting application, the Business it will read and the Permissions it asks for.
- Select the Authorize and return button. Biosphere sends you back to the assistant.
To stop instead, select Cancel connection.
What a connected assistant can do
- By default an assistant can only read. It can search your Knowledge documents and Biosphere help and read what your own access allows, such as catalog, inventory, contacts, orders, imports, background jobs and the audit log.
- It cannot change records, send messages, use staff tools or reach another business. Your current access is checked on every request.
- An assistant may also ask to submit proposals: which record an imported record matches, and catalog item merges. The connect screen says so when it asks. A proposal changes nothing until a signed-in person approves it in Biosphere.
- What the assistant reads is shared with it under that assistant’s own data policies.
Permissions appear as names such as catalog:read. Permissions that end in
:write are the proposal permissions.
See and revoke connections
Connected applications lists each application with when it was connected, when it was last used and the access it has.
- Select the Revoke access button beside the application.
- Confirm with the dialog’s Revoke access button.
The application loses access to this business. You can connect it again later.
Choose the Scout profile
When your business has Scout, Scout profile at the top of the page chooses how Scout produces new responses. Profiles marked Not configured cannot be chosen. Every profile supports the same files, and a change applies to new responses.
See the technical reference
Open Developer details at the bottom of the page for the list of Biosphere capabilities, with each one’s permission and inputs. Each connected application sees only the tools its own access allows.
What to know
- Calls from connected assistants appear in Agent activity.
