Stockpile Reports MCP · Setup

Connect your account to
your AI assistant.

A one-time setup connects Stockpile Reports® to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and more. Sign in once, approve access, and start asking about your stockpiles in plain language.

Choose your assistant What you'll need

Before you start

Setup takes a couple of minutes. You'll need three things and one address.

  • A Stockpile Reports Business account. The connection is available to Business customers. If your account is Personal or Professional, you won't be able to sign in. Talk to us about moving to Business.
  • Your Stockpile Reports email and password. The same login you use for the Web Application or SR Measure. There's no API key to copy; you sign in through your browser.
  • An AI assistant that supports remote connectors. This guide covers Claude (web, Desktop, and Cowork), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini (with a personal Google Account), Google's Antigravity CLI (which replaced the Gemini CLI), and Microsoft Copilot Studio. Most other 2025-or-later assistants that can connect to a remote (HTTP) server work the same way.

Using a different assistant? Most others that support a remote (HTTP) MCP connection with sign-in work the same way: add a custom connector, paste the connection address above, and sign in.

Claude

Claude (web, Desktop & Cowork)#

Add the connection once from the Connectors screen. It's then available across Claude on the web, the desktop app, and Cowork.

  1. Open Customize → Connectors. On the web, go straight to claude.ai/customize/connectors; in the desktop app, open Customize from the sidebar, or Settings → Connectors, which shows the same list.
  2. Select Add, at the top right of the Connectors screen, then choose Add custom connector. It's the same on the web and in the desktop app. The Add custom connector panel opens; there are two steps.
  3. On step 1, fill in:
    • Name Stockpile Reports
    • MCP server URL https://mcp.stockpilereports.com/mcp
    Then select Continue.
  4. Step 2 looks more involved than it is: change nothing. Claude reads these off the server and marks them Detected:
    • Authentication Sign in now
    • OAuth client Register automaticallyClaude registers itself with Stockpile Reports. The option above it, Use Claude's published identity, needs something Stockpile Reports doesn't support, so leave it alone.
    Leave everything else on that screen, including Advanced, as it is.
  5. Select Add to create the connector. Claude opens its page and says you're not connected yet: select Connect. A Stockpile Reports sign-in page opens. Sign in with your email and password, then select Allow. Claude confirms Connected to Stockpile Reports and lists the connection's tools.
  6. Start a chat and ask one of the example questions.
Already connected somewhere in your company? Claude allows one connector per server address across a whole team, so if a colleague has already added Stockpile Reports you'll see "A connector with this URL already exists in your organization" and should use the existing one rather than adding your own. You still sign in as yourself the first time you use it, and you see only your own data.
Using the Claude mobile app? You can add the connection there too. The steps above describe the web version, so the screens won't match exactly. Adding it once on any of them makes it available on all of them, so if you have a computer to hand that's the easier route.
Stop the per-tool approval prompts. The first time Claude uses the connection, it asks permission before each tool. To skip the repeated prompts, open Customize → Connectors, select Stockpile Reports and, under Tool permissions, set the Read-only tools group to Always allow. Claude puts a tool in that group only when the connection marks it read-only, and Stockpile Reports marks every tool that just looks up data. Anything that changes your account, and sending us your feedback, stays in a separate group, which keeps asking each time unless you change its setting.
On a Team or Enterprise plan? Only an admin can add the connection, and it's added for the whole team. Admins do it from Organization settings → Connectors, and remove it from the same place; removing it there removes it for everyone, so check with your team first. Nothing else needs an admin: each person signs in with their own login, and switching off the per-tool prompts is a personal setting, described above.

Claude

Claude Code (command line & IDE)#

Add the connection with one command, then sign in from inside a session.

You may already have it. If you added Stockpile Reports in Claude using the steps above, it's in Claude Code already: connections from your Claude account load automatically when you're signed in with that account. Run claude mcp list first and look for a Stockpile Reports line labelled claude.ai. If it's there and says Connected, you're done, and you can go straight to the example questions. There's no need to add it again.
  1. In your terminal, run:
    claude mcp add --transport http stockpile-reports https://mcp.stockpilereports.com/mcp --scope user
  2. Start Claude Code with claude, then run /mcp, choose stockpile-reports, and select Authenticate. A Stockpile Reports sign-in window opens in your browser. Sign in with your email and password, then select Allow.
  3. Confirm it's connected with claude mcp list, which shows the connection with a Connected status. To see the individual tools, run /mcp in a session and select stockpile-reports.
  4. In your session, ask one of the example questions.
Scope. --scope user makes the connection available in every project on your machine. Leave it off and the connection is added for the project you're in and nothing else. There is also --scope project, which does the opposite of limiting it: that one writes a .mcp.json into the project, which everyone who clones it picks up. The same setup works in the Claude Code extensions for VS Code and JetBrains.

Anthropic's own setup docs: Connect to MCP servers.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT (web)#

Custom connections in ChatGPT are set up on the web (chatgpt.com). Once added, the connection also works in the ChatGPT mobile app. A paid plan is not required; this works on a free ChatGPT account. On a Business, Enterprise, or Edu workspace, OpenAI says an admin or owner adds it, or gives you permission to.

  1. On chatgpt.com, open Plugins in the left sidebar. Select Add at the top right, then Add custom MCP server. A panel of the same name opens.
  2. Fill in the details:
    • Name Stockpile Reports
    • Description Your Stockpile Reports account: sites, piles (stockpiles), products (the material in a pile), bunkers, users, and volume and weight/tonnage measurements. Use it for questions about inventory, measurement history and trends, and for requests involving these records.Optional.
    • Connection Leave this set to Server URLThe other choice, Tunnel, is for a server running on your own machine.
    • Server URL https://mcp.stockpilereports.com/mcpThe box under Connection; it has no label of its own.
    • Authentication OAuthAlready selected. Leave Advanced OAuth settings alone; ChatGPT reads what it needs from the server.
  3. Tick I understand and want to continue under the risk warning. Create as a plugin stays greyed out until you do.
  4. Select Create as a plugin. ChatGPT asks you to confirm in a Connect Stockpile Reports panel: select Connect Stockpile Reports. A Stockpile Reports sign-in page opens in the same tab. Sign in with your email and password, then select Allow. ChatGPT returns to the Plugins page and confirms the connection.
  5. Start a chat and ask one of the example questions.
"Plugins", "apps" or "connectors"? All three name the same thing. OpenAI has renamed this feature more than once, and the names have not all caught up with each other: the menus now say Plugins, while page addresses and the occasional error message still say connector. Follow the position of the item rather than its label.
When Stockpile Reports adds something new, refresh the connection. ChatGPT keeps the list of things a connection can do from when you added it, so it won't pick up new capabilities on its own. Here's how to refresh it; it takes a few seconds.
ChatGPT warns that custom MCP servers "introduce risk". That's expected. ChatGPT shows that warning for every custom server it hasn't reviewed itself, whoever built it. It says nothing about Stockpile Reports specifically. What the connection can actually do is in What your assistant can see and do below.

OpenAI's own setup docs: Connecting custom MCP servers in ChatGPT.

Gemini

Gemini (web)#

Add the connection once on the Gemini website. It then works in Gemini on the web and in the Gemini mobile app.

This needs a personal Google Account. Google doesn't offer custom connections on a work or school account, so if you sign in to Gemini with your company's Google account, use Google Antigravity instead. Google also requires that you're 18 or over, in the US, using Gemini in English, with Keep Activity turned on (Google's full list).

  1. Open Gemini's Connectors page, or on gemini.google.com open Customize in the sidebar and select the Connectors tab. Select + Custom, at the top right beside the search box. If there's no + Custom, you're most likely signed in with a work or school account.
  2. Fill in:
    • MCP Server URL https://mcp.stockpilereports.com/mcp
    Leave Additional settings as they are; Gemini registers itself with Stockpile Reports automatically. Select Next.
  3. Google shows Connect this MCP server, listing what Gemini will be able to do. Scroll to the bottom, tick I understand and accept the security and privacy risks of connecting this custom app, and select Connect.
  4. Google then asks you to link your Google Account to Stockpile Reports, on a page it titles Link your Google Account and [Custom] Stockpilereports account. Scroll down and select Agree and continue.
  5. A Stockpile Reports sign-in page opens. Sign in with your email and password, then select Allow.
  6. Gemini shows Save your custom app, with the name Stockpile Reports filled in and a list of its available actions. Select Connect.
  7. Start a chat and ask one of the example questions. To make sure Gemini uses Stockpile Reports for a question, type @ first and choose Stockpile Reports from the list.
Can't find Stockpile Reports on the Connectors page? It isn't listed under Active at the top. Scroll to the bottom of the page: it's under Custom apps.
Gemini says it can't reach Stockpile Reports, or takes a while? Gemini can take a minute or two to answer a question that uses the connection, and now and then answers without using it at all. Ask again, starting with @ and choosing Stockpile Reports.
On your phone? The Gemini mobile app has no option for adding a custom connection, so add it on the web first. Once it's added, it works in the mobile app too.

Google's own setup docs: Connect & manage custom apps for Gemini Apps.

Google Antigravity

Google Antigravity (command line)#

Add the connection with one command, then sign in from inside a session. Antigravity CLI is Google's terminal assistant, and it replaced the Gemini CLI in June 2026.

  1. Install the Antigravity CLI, then run agy once, choose Google OAuth, and sign in with your Google Account. A work account is fine.
  2. In your terminal, run:
    agy mcp add stockpile-reports https://mcp.stockpilereports.com/mcp
  3. Start agy, run /mcp, and select stockpile-reports. Until you sign in it is marked [Auth Needed], with an Unauthorized error beside it. That is expected. agy mcp list won't tell you either way; it shows what you have configured, not whether it's connected.
  4. Select Authenticate. A Stockpile Reports sign-in window opens in your browser. Sign in with your email and password, then select Allow. Google shows you an authorization code: copy it, paste it at the terminal prompt, and press Enter. The terminal reports Authentication successful!
  5. In your session, ask one of the example questions. Antigravity asks before it uses each Stockpile Reports tool for the first time; choosing Yes, and always allow for the conversation stops it asking again.
Still using the Gemini CLI? Google stopped serving it for personal accounts on June 18, 2026, replacing it with Antigravity CLI. It keeps working if your organization has a Gemini Code Assist Standard or Enterprise license, or a paid API key. Google explains how to install it and, on a work account, how to set the Google Cloud project it needs before you sign in with Google. Then add the connection with gemini mcp add --transport http stockpile-reports https://mcp.stockpilereports.com/mcp, and sign in with /mcp auth stockpile-reports. On any other account, use the steps above.
Using a personal Google Account? The Gemini website is the simpler route: nothing to install, and once it's added there it works in the Gemini mobile app too.
No browser on that machine? This still works over a remote connection. The Authenticate step prints the sign-in address, so you can open it in a browser anywhere, and the code you paste back is what completes it. The same goes if it opens a browser you don't use: open the printed address in the one you want, rather than copying the address bar across from the other.

Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft Copilot (Copilot Studio)#

Copilot connects through Copilot Studio, where Stockpile Reports is added as a tool on an agent. It's a few more steps than the other assistants, and the right path for organizations standardized on Copilot.

Setup happens in three parts, and you may only need the first. One person, usually whoever administers Copilot Studio, registers Stockpile Reports once for the whole organization (Part 1). Colleagues who want to build their own agent then skip most of the work (Part 2). And if you'd rather your team simply used the agent you built, without opening Copilot Studio at all, that's Part 3.

Part 1: Register Stockpile Reports (once per organization)#

  1. Open Copilot Studio and check which environment you're in. The link opens your default one, and the name isn't shown anywhere on the page: the switcher is a small icon near the bottom-left, and hovering over it tells you where you are. Make a note of the environment you build in, because your colleagues will need it in Part 2.
  2. Open Agents in the left sidebar and select the agent you want to connect. To start a new one instead, select New agent; it opens straight into the new agent, where you can type a name over Untitled Agent. You can leave the instructions empty and the model as it is; neither affects the connection.
  3. In the panel on the right, select + next to Tools. In the Add a tool dialog, select + Add, then Model Context Protocol (MCP).
  4. Fill in the Add MCP server form:
    • Server name Stockpile Reports
    • Server description Your Stockpile Reports account: sites, piles (stockpiles), products (the material in a pile), bunkers, users, and volume and weight/tonnage measurements. Use it for questions about inventory, measurement history and trends, and for requests involving these records.Required. Copilot uses it to decide when to call the connection.
    • Server URL https://mcp.stockpilereports.com/mcp
    • Authentication OAuth 2.0
    • Configuration type Dynamic (with discovery)Appears once you choose OAuth 2.0, already selected. Leave it as it is.
  5. Select Add. Copilot reads the server and shows the Select a connection dialog, with the connection listed as Not connected. If it says Can't create MCP server. Try again. instead, Stockpile Reports is most likely already registered in this environment, perhaps by a colleague: follow Part 2 instead.
  6. Open the dropdown to the right of the Stockpile Reports connection, choose Create new connection, then select Create.
  7. A Stockpile Reports sign-in window opens in a separate browser window. Sign in with your email and password, then select Allow. Watch for that window: it can open behind your main one, or be stopped by a pop-up blocker.
  8. Back in the Select a connection dialog, the connection now shows a green check. Select Add, then save your agent using the disk icon at the top right.
  9. Open the Preview tab at the top of the page and ask one of the example questions. If Copilot shows a card asking permission to use Stockpile Reports, select Allow.
If your team will use this agent, read Part 3's note on the Authentication setting before you finish. It decides whether each colleague sees their own Stockpile Reports data or yours, and it is the most consequential setting in this guide. Part 1 alone does not raise it.

Part 2: For everyone else#

Once Part 1 is done, Stockpile Reports is available to anyone building an agent in the same Copilot Studio environment. There's no server URL to paste and nothing to configure. Two things do have to be true, though.

You need to be in the same environment the person in Part 1 used. Copilot Studio opens your default environment, so if Part 1 happened somewhere else, the search in step 3 quietly finds nothing. And you need permission to build agents there. If Copilot Studio moves you to a different environment when you try to open that one, that's the permission you're missing, and your Copilot Studio admin can grant it.

  1. Open Copilot Studio and switch to the environment where Part 1 was done. The switcher is a small icon near the bottom-left, and hovering over it tells you where you are.
  2. Open Agents in the left sidebar and select your agent, or select New agent and give it a name. The instructions and the model can stay as they are. Then select + next to Tools.
  3. In the Add a tool dialog, choose the Model Context Protocol (MCP) tab and search for Stockpile Reports. That tab lists Microsoft's own servers until you search, so don't expect to see it before then. Select it.
  4. In the Select a connection dialog: if you've connected before, your existing connection is already chosen and you can go straight to the next step. If not, open the dropdown to the right of the Stockpile Reports connection, choose Create new connection, then sign in with your own Stockpile Reports email and password and select Allow.
  5. Select Add, then save your agent.
  6. Open the Preview tab at the top of the page and ask one of the example questions. If Copilot shows a card asking permission to use Stockpile Reports, select Allow.

Part 3: Let your team use the agent you built#

Parts 1 and 2 give an agent to whoever builds it. Part 3 hands your agent to colleagues who never open Copilot Studio. They use it from Microsoft 365 Copilot like any other agent.

First, decide whose Stockpile Reports data your team will see. In your agent, select the Stockpile Reports tool under Tools (the dialog is titled Edit tool) and look at Authentication, at the top beside Connection. It's the most important setting in that dialog.

End user account (recommended, and the default): each colleague signs in with their own Stockpile Reports login and sees their own sites and piles. If your account uses organizations, each person keeps the access you've given them. Costs them a one-time sign-in, described below.

Shared account: nobody signs in, and every colleague's questions run through your Stockpile Reports account and return what you can see, and any change a colleague asks for is made as you, using your role and access. This is the easier setting, which is exactly why it's worth choosing deliberately: if your account uses organizations, it bypasses that scoping entirely. Sensible for a shared team login, wrong if people are meant to see different things.

If you built the agent#

  1. In Copilot Studio, open your agent. In the panel on the right, select + next to Channels, then choose Teams + Microsoft 365.
  2. Leave Microsoft Copilot and Microsoft Teams selected and choose Add channel. Take a moment here. Copilot Studio says this choice can't be changed after publishing.
  3. Select Publish at the top right, then Publish agent.
  4. Select Share. It's offered on the panel that appears once publishing finishes, and remains available from your agent afterwards. Add the colleagues or groups who should use it, and select Share.
  5. The Agent shared successfully panel has a Copy link button with an arrow beside it. The button names a destination (it may read Copy link (Microsoft Teams)), so open the arrow and choose Microsoft Copilot. That copies the install link your colleagues need, and the button changes to Copied. It should start https://m365.cloud.microsoft/chat/?titleId=.
  6. In a separate browser tab, give them permission in the Power Platform admin center. Sharing the agent does not do this, and without it they cannot connect. Go to admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com, select Manage in the left sidebar and then Environments, and open the environment your agent is in. Under the Access card, select See all beneath Users. Find your colleague in the list and open their summary panel. Choose Manage roles, then Basic User, and Save. A Role assignment confirmation dialog then lists every role they will hold and asks again; select Save a second time, or nothing is granted. Not in the list? Select Add user, enter their work email address, and give them Basic User there. A colleague you have just added to Microsoft 365 may not appear on this page right away; adding them yourself creates them immediately.
  7. Share the Stockpile Reports connector with them too. Go to make.powerapps.com, check the environment at the top right is the one your agent is in, and select Custom connectors in the left sidebar. On the Stockpile Reports row, open … and choose Invite another user, which opens the connector's Share tab. Add your colleague, leave their permission on Can view, and select Save. Share with org on the same tab covers everyone at once.
  8. Send them the install link, along with the steps to follow: If someone shared this agent with you is linkable directly.
Why steps 6 and 7? Sharing an agent does not give your colleague permission to use its connections, and nothing warns you. Without both, they reach the connection screen and get “Connector information unavailable. We are unable to load the connector information. Please try again later.” It never succeeds, however long they wait. Basic User gives them access to the environment and carries no authoring rights. On its own it doesn't let someone read a connector they don't own, and neither does Environment Maker, so the connector share in step 7 is what lets the connection screen load. If your agent is in your tenant's default Power Platform environment, you can skip step 6, since everyone there already has a role, but you still need step 7.
Sharing alone isn't enough. You have to send the link. A shared agent doesn't appear in your colleagues' Copilot agent list, and searching for it by name finds nothing. Don't assume they'll be notified; send them the link yourself. Once they've added it, it lives in their Copilot sidebar under Agents (reload the page if it isn't there yet), which is where they go to use it again.
Don't send them the “Set up connections” link from the Share menu. The Copy link menu also offers Set up connections, and it looks like the right thing to send, but that link opens a page that never finishes loading for someone using the agent. Your colleagues reach the connection screen by asking a question and using the Connect button on the card that appears, as in the steps below.
The per-tool switches in Edit tool look off when they aren't. That dialog lists the individual tools below Authentication, and an enabled switch is rendered in grey. Grey is just how they look, not a sign anything is disabled. If your agent is answering questions, the tools are on. Don't try to fix them.

If someone shared this agent with you#

  1. Open the link you were sent. If you're prompted to sign in, use your work Microsoft account, the one you use for Microsoft 365. Then select Add. If you don't have a link, ask whoever set up the agent: a shared agent can't be found by searching.
  2. Select Agents in the sidebar and choose the agent; Add doesn't always open it for you. Then ask your question, for example How many active piles do we have?
  3. Copilot replies with a card naming the connection and saying Connect your account, then select “Continue”. Select Connect. There may be two of these cards; one connection covers both.
  4. A Connections window opens, showing the Stockpile Reports connector. Enter a Display name if you like, such as your own name, then select Create.
  5. Sign in to Stockpile Reports with your own email and password and select Allow. The window shows Saving the connection and then closes by itself.
  6. Back in the chat, select Continue on the card. If there are two cards, select Continue on each; the answer appears after the second.

Steps 3 to 5 happen once; the connection is yours from then on.

If you see “Unable to sign in. Please try again.” Two causes, and the second is easy to miss. Are you in a private browsing window? In Safari, private browsing stops the connection being saved: you sign in, approve, and get this message anyway, however many times you retry. Use a normal window. Otherwise the usual cause is that the sign-in window never finished, because it opened behind another window or a pop-up blocker stopped it: select Create again and complete the sign-in when the window appears. Your Stockpile Reports password is never entered into Copilot itself; it only ever goes into that Stockpile Reports window.
Each person needs their own Stockpile Reports login, as long as Authentication is set to End user account. On that setting, connections are personal: your agent reads the data you can see, and sharing an agent or its connector with a colleague does not share your connection; they sign in as themselves and see their own sites and piles. On Shared account, the opposite is true and everyone reads and changes your account through your login. See Part 3.
Use the Model Context Protocol tool type, not a custom connector. Adding Stockpile Reports as a generic (Swagger/OpenAPI) custom connector won't work: the connection registers itself and issues no fixed client ID or secret to paste. The Dynamic (with discovery) option above is built for exactly this.
Microsoft 365 Copilot chat can't add the connection itself. Custom MCP connections are set up in Copilot Studio. Build the agent there, then publish it for your team to use from Copilot. That's Part 3, and your colleagues never need to open Copilot Studio themselves.
Licensing. Copilot Studio runs on the Microsoft Power Platform: the person building the agent needs a Copilot Studio environment with generative AI features enabled, and MCP connections use a premium connector (agent usage is metered in Copilot Credits). Your Power Platform admin can confirm what's enabled. Colleagues who only use a shared agent (Part 3) don't need a Copilot Studio license, and in our testing didn't need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license either. Microsoft 365 Business Standard was enough. If you're told you must buy a seat per person just to use the agent, it's worth checking.

Microsoft's own setup docs: Connect your agent to an existing MCP server covers Part 1, and Share agents with other users and makers covers Part 3.

What you can ask

Once connected, ask in plain language. Answers come back grounded in your own measurements, not guesses. Here are a few to get you started.

  • What's my total tonnage of #57 stone across all sites right now?
  • List my sites and how many active piles are at each one.
  • Show me the most recent measurement for the salt pile at my north yard.
  • Which products are set up at my Denver yard, and what conversion factors do they use?
  • How has the measured volume of that pile changed over the last three months?
  • Which piles did we measure by drone last month?
  • Who has access to my account, and what role does each person have?

What your assistant can see and do

The connection is tied to your own account, so you stay in control.

  • Looks things up. Your assistant can read your sites, products, piles, bunkers, measurements, and users.
  • Makes changes when you ask. As well as reading, it can make changes in your account when you ask it to. Deleting or deactivating a site can also affect what sits under it, and reactivating the site may not bring those back. A deletion cannot be undone, so be specific about what you ask for, and read what your assistant says it is about to do.
  • Bounded by your own permissions. It acts as you, with your role and your access, and nothing more. If your role does not let you change something in the Web Application, it cannot change it either.
  • Scoped to your account. It sees only data in your Stockpile Reports account. If your account uses organizations, it sees only the parts you can already see in the Web Application.
  • Your sign-in, your control. You connect with your own credentials and approve access once. You can disconnect at any time from your assistant's connector settings.
One exception, and it's worth knowing about. In Microsoft Copilot Studio, the Authentication setting on an agent's Stockpile Reports tool can be set to Shared account. On that setting nobody signs in, and everyone who uses the agent works through the account of whoever built it: they see what the builder can see, even where your account uses organizations to limit that, and any change they ask for is made as the builder, using the builder's role and access. On Copilot's default End user account setting, and everywhere else in this guide, each person uses their own sign-in. See Part 3.

Troubleshooting

A few things that come up during setup.

It says I can't sign in, or that a Business subscription is required.

The connection is available to Stockpile Reports Business accounts. If your account is Personal or Professional, reach out and we'll help you move to a Business plan.

The sign-in window didn't open, or it was blocked.

Allow pop-ups for your assistant and try again. If a tab opened but looks stuck, close it and re-trigger the connection. In Claude Code or the Antigravity CLI you can re-run the authenticate step.

Do I need an API key?

No. You sign in with the same Stockpile Reports email and password you use for the Web Application. There's nothing to copy or paste besides the connection address.

My account uses single sign-on (SSO).

SSO sign-in for the connection isn't available yet. For now, continue to use the Web Application; we'll let you know when SSO is supported.

My assistant has no way to add a connector.

It needs to support remote (HTTP) Model Context Protocol connections. Most assistants released in 2025 or later do. If yours doesn't, use one of the assistants in this guide.

I was asked to sign in again.

That's expected after a long stretch without using the connection, or if you've signed out. Just sign in again and select Allow; your account stays protected behind your login.

ChatGPT doesn't seem to know about something Stockpile Reports can do.

ChatGPT reads the list of things a connection can do when you add it, and doesn't check for changes on its own. So when Stockpile Reports gains something new, a ChatGPT connection you added earlier won't know about it until you refresh it. The same step helps if ChatGPT asks permission every time it looks something up, or shows no Stockpile Reports tools at all.

To refresh it, open Plugins in the left sidebar on chatgpt.com, select Installed at the top of the page, then select Stockpile Reports. Scroll to Manage app and select Refresh tools. The button shows a spinner for a few seconds while it works; no message follows. Then start a new conversation.

If Stockpile Reports isn't listed, or refreshing doesn't help, remove it with Delete app, just below Refresh tools, and add it again using the steps above. Use Delete app rather than Uninstall: an uninstalled connection stays under Plugins → Personal, and ChatGPT won't let you add another with the same name.

Copilot keeps asking me to connect, even though I already did.

A saved connection isn't always one the agent can use. An incognito window in Chrome is the quickest thing to try, setting the connection up again there: in our testing that cleared it at once where a normal window would not. Don't use a Safari private window for this, which fails in a different way: the connection is never saved and the sign-in reports “Unable to sign in. Please try again.” A normal Safari window is fine. If it doesn't help, the agent's tool binding may have gone stale: open the agent in Copilot Studio and Publish it again, leaving the tool's Authentication setting alone.

My colleague sees “Your organization has prevented this agent from being installed.”

They haven't been shared the agent. Sending them the install link isn't enough on its own: sharing the agent decides whether they can install it, and the security role and connector share decide whether they can connect it, so they fail at different points. Open your agent in Copilot Studio, select Share, add them, and have them reload the install link. A reload is enough; they don't need to sign out. If they get past the install card and then see “Connector information unavailable,” that's the other gate, below.

My colleague sees “Connector information unavailable.”

They can't read the Stockpile Reports connector yet. The message says “Please try again later,” but waiting never helps. Share the connector with them (Part 3, step 7) and make sure they have Basic User (step 6), then have them select Retry; once the share is saved, Retry loads the connector straight away. A security role on its own, including Environment Maker, produces this exact screen, because it lets someone read only the connectors they own, not the one you built.

A colleague says the Copilot agent replies but never answers with data.

First, check that they waited, and that they selected Continue on every card: when a question needs two lookups, the answer appears only after the second. If they did, they almost certainly haven't connected yet. The giveaway is a reply like “I'll look that up” with nothing after it, or “the request wasn't approved.” Ask them to send a question, then use the Connect button on the card that appears (Part 3, If someone shared this agent with you). If they were sent a Set up connections link that never finishes loading, that's the wrong link; the card is the way in. If no card appears at all, just a reply that trails off, open the agent in Copilot Studio and Publish it again, leaving the tool's Authentication setting alone. That re-establishes the link between the agent and its tools, and the cards come back. It is worth trying whenever the agent behaves as though the connection is not there, including the loop above, though it does not always help.

Still stuck?
