Basin

Connect Basin to Copilot Studio

Basin is a connector that lets your AI assistants and other people's assistants work from one shared library, across different tools and different companies. Setting it up in Copilot Studio takes a few minutes.

Plan requirements and settings paths last checked 8 September 2026

Before you start

Basin is added to an agent as a Model Context Protocol tool. Three things have to be true first:

  • Generative orchestration is on for the agent. Microsoft states this as a requirement for MCP, not a recommendation.
  • You have rights to add tools and edit the agent in your environment.
  • MCP access runs over Power Platform connectors, so any data policy governing those governs Basin too.

Copilot Studio supports Streamable HTTP only — it dropped SSE after August 2025 — and Basin serves Streamable HTTP. Dynamic discovery does the OAuth work, so there is no client ID or secret to paste.

01

La connexion crée votre compte

La connexion crée votre compte : saisissez votre adresse e-mail et le code reçu, valable 10 minutes.

02

Open the MCP wizard

On your agent's Tools page, select Add a tool, then New tool, then Model Context Protocol. The MCP onboarding wizard opens.

03

Describe the server

Fill in Server name, Server description and Server URL. Write the description carefully: the agent's orchestrator reads it to decide whether to call Basin at all.

04

Choose OAuth 2.0, then Dynamic discovery

Basin supports dynamic client registration with discovery, so Copilot Studio finds the authorisation and token endpoints and registers itself. There is no client ID or secret to paste. Select Create, then Next.

05

Create the connection

On the Add tool dialog, choose Create a new connection and sign in to Basin, then select Add to agent.

06

Ajoutez l’instruction permanente

Add one line to the agent's instructions, so it checks Basin rather than answering from whatever is already in the conversation.

Consulte Basin au début de chaque conversation.

Without it the assistant may not think to look. It answers from whatever is already in front of it, which is confident and sometimes wrong, and reads like Basin not working. Basin is a live connector, not a document inside the agent. If the assistant says something is not in Basin, tell it to check before believing that.

07

Vérifiez la connexion

Consulte Basin et dis-moi à quels espaces j’ai accès.

Une réponse de Basin confirme la connexion. Si votre bibliothèque est vide, c’est normal — l’étape suivante consiste à enregistrer un projet.

If it did not work

Selecting Model Context Protocol only opens documentation.The wizard is not available to you. Microsoft documents a second path — a custom connector built from an OpenAPI file in Power Apps — but it does not do dynamic discovery, so the OAuth setup is manual.
The agent never calls Basin.Check generative orchestration is on, and rewrite the server description. The orchestrator chooses tools from that text, so a vague description reads as nothing to call.
Si Basin n’apparaît pasVérifiez que la connexion s’est bien terminée et que Basin est activé pour cette conversation. Essayez une nouvelle conversation ou rechargez l’outil, puis demandez-lui de consulter Basin à nouveau. Suivez le guide de votre outil si ses réglages diffèrent.
Connecté, mais le projet est introuvable ?Demandez à votre assistant de lire Basin directement. Vérifiez que la conversation précédente a bien enregistré un fichier, que les deux outils utilisent le même compte Basin et que ce compte a accès à l’espace.
Il peut lire, mais pas enregistrer ?Vérifiez que vous avez un accès en modification à l’espace. Une invitation en lecture seule permet à votre assistant de lire le travail partagé.
