SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Establishing the first Business Central connection inside Cowork is error-prone and requires downloading helper scripts, collecting tenant/app/company details, performing secure credential encryption, and writing the correct MCP configuration entry without leaking secrets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided first-time setup wizard for connecting Origo Cowork to a Business Central tenant via the Origo MCP endpoint.
  • Two authentication flows (Client secret or Device code) that collect credentials only in the user’s own terminal and produce encrypted connection blobs.
  • One-shot configuration writing with validation that encrypts credentials, wraps them for local use, auto-detects the correct Claude Desktop config path on Windows, and validates by calling list_companies before creating the MCP entry.
  • Use Case: set up a new BC environment (e.g., Production or UAT) and create a working mcp__bc-<nickname>__list_companies target for subsequent Cowork skills and actions.

Quick Start

Ask to run the origo-bc-setup skill to connect Cowork to your Business Central tenant and create your first mcp__bc-<nickname> entry.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect my Business Central tenant to Cowork for the first time?

You connect your Business Central tenant by running the setup wizard to collect Entra details, encrypt credentials via the MCP endpoint, write the encrypted blob to your config path, and validate connectivity.

What authentication methods can I use to set up a Business Central MCP connection?

You can set up the Business Central connection using either Client secret or Device code authentication flows, which collect credentials locally and produce encrypted connection blobs for the MCP config.

Does the Business Central setup wizard support both Windows and macOS?

Yes, the Business Central setup wizard supports environment-specific connection wiring across Windows and macOS/Linux, auto-detecting the correct Claude or Cowork config path for the MCP entry.

How are credentials encrypted when wiring a Business Central MCP entry?

Credentials are encrypted via the Origo MCP server endpoint during setup, producing an encrypted blob written to the correct local config path to prevent leaking secrets during MCP configuration.

Can I use this setup process to rotate credentials for an existing Business Central environment?

Yes, the Business Central setup process applies to initial tenant onboarding, credential rotation, and environment-specific connection wiring for Production or UAT environments.

Why is my Business Central MCP connection not validating after setup?

Your connection may fail validation if the setup did not successfully call list_companies before finalizing the MCP entry, or if the encrypted credentials blob was written to the incorrect config path.
