4insight MCP

1

Add the server

Add the server url to Claude or Copilot, with the steps below.
2

Sign in

Your browser opens the 4insight sign-in. Use your company account, as on 4insight.io.
3

Ask

Ask about your timeseries and assets. Ask the assistant to run whoami to see who you are signed in as.

Claude

Set up Claude

Claude.ai, Claude Desktop and Claude Code all connect to the same server url.

Claude.ai and Claude Desktop

Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans

Open Settings and then Connectors.
Choose Add custom connector, name it 4insight and paste the server url.
Choose Connect and sign in with your company account.
Turn the connector on in a chat, from the tools menu under the message box.

On Team and Enterprise plans an owner may have added it already, see added by your organisation.

Claude Code

In your terminal

Add the server for yourself:

claude mcp add --transport http 4insight https://mcp-qa.4subsea.io/mcp

Or for everyone working in a repository, in .mcp.json at its root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "4insight": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp-qa.4subsea.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Then run /mcp in Claude Code and choose 4insight to sign in.

GitHub Copilot

Set up Copilot

Use 4insight from Copilot Chat in agent mode, in VS Code, Visual Studio and the Copilot CLI.

VS Code

Copilot Chat in agent mode

Install in VS Code

Or add it to a workspace, in .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "4insight": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp-qa.4subsea.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Choose Start above the server, and sign in when VS Code asks you to.

Visual Studio

2022 17.14 or later

Add .mcp.json next to your solution, or in your user profile folder for every solution:

{
  "servers": {
    "4insight": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp-qa.4subsea.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Open Copilot Chat in agent mode, pick the 4insight tools and sign in when asked.

Copilot CLI

In your terminal

Run /mcp add in copilot, or add it to ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "4insight": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp-qa.4subsea.io/mcp",
      "tools": [
        "*"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Microsoft 365 Copilot

Set up Microsoft 365 Copilot

In Microsoft 365 Copilot and Teams, 4insight comes as an agent. Someone with Copilot Studio sets it up once; everyone it is shared with can then use it.

Create the agent

In Copilot Studio, once

In Copilot Studio, create a new agent, for example 4insight.
Under Tools, choose Add a tool, New tool and Model Context Protocol.
Name the server 4insight, paste the server url, and use this description:

Reads 4insight timeseries data, groups and slices as the signed-in user.

Under Authentication, choose OAuth 2.0 and Dynamic discovery, then Create.
Create a new connection, sign in with your company account, and choose Add and configure.
In the tool's settings, let it use end user credentials, so everyone sees their own 4insight data.

Publish it to Microsoft 365

In Copilot Studio, once

Choose Publish.
Under Channels, choose Teams and Microsoft 365 Copilot and Add channel.
Share the agent with the people or groups who should use it. Your Microsoft 365 admin may need to approve it first.

Then, for everyone

Open Microsoft 365 Copilot or Teams, pick the 4insight agent, and sign in with your company account the first time it uses a 4insight tool.

Server url for the tool: https://mcp-qa.4subsea.io/mcp

Added by your organisation

Guide coming soon

Your organisation can make 4insight MCP available to everyone, so you skip adding the server url yourself. In Claude it then shows up under Settings, Connectors, ready to connect; in GitHub Copilot it comes from your organisation's MCP server list. You still sign in with your own company account. A step by step guide for this is on its way.
