MCP Server

Connect Microsoft 365 Copilot and other MCP-compatible AI applications to live SiteTrax.io operational data through a secure, OAuth-protected remote Model Context Protocol endpoint.

Ask for asset observations, project activity, operational analytics, exceptions, and camera health in natural language. SiteTrax.io remains the system of record, and every request is scoped to the projects the signed-in account is permitted to see.

SiteTrax.io MCP Server

Connect AI assistants and MCP-compatible applications directly to SiteTrax.io operational data and SiteTrax.io Intelligence.

Overview

The SiteTrax.io Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides secure access to SiteTrax.io operational data through compatible AI applications and MCP clients.

The MCP server lets authorized users query the same SiteTrax.io projects and operational information that their SiteTrax.io account is permitted to access. This can include asset observations, project activity, operational metrics, exceptions, images, video metadata, equipment movement history, camera health, and other SiteTrax.io Intelligence capabilities.

SiteTrax.io remains the system of record. The MCP server provides controlled access to SiteTrax.io data and capabilities based on the authenticated user's permissions.

02_SiteTraxio_MCP_Server_Feature_440x250.jpg

MCP Server Endpoint

Use the following remote MCP endpoint:

https://mcp.sitetrax.io/mcp

The SiteTrax.io MCP server uses HTTPS and is designed for remote MCP clients that support Streamable HTTP.

Requirements

To connect to the SiteTrax.io MCP server, you need:

Your MCP client can only access SiteTrax.io information available to your authenticated SiteTrax.io account.

Connect to SiteTrax.io

The exact setup interface depends on the MCP client you use.

In most compatible clients:

  1. Open the application's MCP, integrations, connectors, or tools settings.

  2. Add a new remote MCP server.

  3. Enter the SiteTrax.io MCP endpoint:

    https://mcp.sitetrax.io/mcp

  4. Start the connection.

  5. When prompted, sign in to SiteTrax.io.

  6. Review the requested SiteTrax.io permissions.

  7. Authorize the connection.

  8. Return to your MCP client.

  9. Confirm that SiteTrax.io tools are available.

No SiteTrax.io password should be entered directly into the MCP configuration. Authentication is completed through the SiteTrax.io OAuth authorization process.

Authentication and Permissions

SiteTrax.io uses OAuth-based authorization for protected MCP capabilities.

Permissions are scope-based. The tools available to an MCP client depend on the scopes approved for that connection.

Read Access

Standard operational queries use SiteTrax.io read access.

Read access can include:

Read access does not grant access to SiteTrax.io projects that have not been shared with the authenticated user.

Additional Capabilities

Some MCP integrations can support additional SiteTrax.io capabilities, such as notifications or scheduled digests.

These capabilities require separate permissions. For example, notification-management operations require the applicable notification write scope.

Grant additional permissions only when the MCP client and intended workflow require them.

What You Can Ask

The SiteTrax.io MCP server supports natural-language interaction with SiteTrax.io operational data.

Examples include:

Find an Asset

Prompt

Where was container SITU 123456 7 last observed?

Result

SiteTrax.io can return the most recent authorized observation of that asset, including available project, time, capture, and operational metadata.

Review Site Activity

Prompt

Summarize activity at my SiteTrax.io sites for the last seven days.

Result

SiteTrax.io can calculate activity across the projects available to your account and return operational totals and trends for the requested period.

Analyze Asset Types

Prompt

Show today's SiteTrax.io detections by asset type.

Result

SiteTrax.io can provide server-calculated totals and breakdowns for the requested sites and time period.

Review Processing Status

Prompt

Break down today's detections by status code and asset type.

Result

SiteTrax.io can return processing results grouped by status and asset type so that the results can be interpreted correctly.

Find Exceptions

Prompt

Show me records that may require review today.

Result

SiteTrax.io can retrieve records that meet the applicable review criteria for projects available to the user.

Check Operational Health

Prompt

Were there any unusual volume gaps at my sites this week?

Result

SiteTrax.io can analyze authorized site activity and identify potential low-volume periods, repeated observations, or other operational anomalies supported by the available data.

Analyze Equipment Movement

Prompt

What was the observed time between gate-in and gate-out for trailers this week?

Result

Where the site configuration and available observations support the calculation, SiteTrax.io can perform server-side sequence and duration analysis using defined operational boundaries.

Available Capability Groups

The tools exposed to a specific MCP client vary with the scopes approved for that connection and with what the client supports. Read capabilities use sitetrax:read. Notification and digest capabilities require sitetrax:notifications:write and must be approved separately.

Capability group What you can ask for Scope required Read-only
Projects and sites Projects available to your account, project detail and configuration, recent activity, cameras and gate configuration, activity compared across projects sitetrax:read Yes
Assets Asset observation search, the latest observation for an identifier, detailed asset records, asset history, detection images, video metadata, filtering by project, camera, type, status, identifier or time sitetrax:read Yes
Analytics Observation counts, distinct asset totals, grouping by project, camera, type, status or time period, sequence analysis, observed durations between defined operational boundaries, activity trends, potential anomalies sitetrax:read Yes
Review and exceptions Processing status review, records matching defined review criteria, unreadable or unusual results, supplied-list exceptions, exact asset records when more context is needed sitetrax:read Yes
Video Video search and individual video detail records sitetrax:read Yes
Camera and processing health Camera activity and scan health across the projects available to your account sitetrax:read Yes
Reference information Supported capture methods, SiteTrax.io data fields, asset types, processing status codes, terminology, operational metric definitions and product capabilities sitetrax:read Yes
Notifications and digests Creating, listing and cancelling alerts, and creating recurring email digests sitetrax:notifications:write No

SiteTrax.io performs analytical reductions on the server. MCP clients do not need to download large raw datasets to calculate supported SiteTrax.io metrics.

A processing status is not automatically a physical-condition or operational exception. The asset type, status code and operational context must be interpreted together.

Grant sitetrax:notifications:write only when the client and the intended workflow require it. Integrations that expose SiteTrax.io through a read-only surface, including the Microsoft 365 Copilot connector, do not receive it.

Supported Capture Data

Depending on a customer's SiteTrax.io configuration, operational data can include information generated through SiteTrax.io capture methods such as:

Detected or processed identifiers can include supported equipment and operational identifiers such as:

Available metadata can include timestamps, project information, camera information, location data, status information, images, direction, and asset relationships.

Images and Media

Some SiteTrax.io records include links to detection images or video-related metadata.

Media availability depends on:

If a record is configured as redacted, the MCP server can withhold media while still returning permitted operational metadata.

Data Access and Security

The SiteTrax.io MCP server uses the permissions of the authenticated SiteTrax.io user.

Connecting an MCP client does not automatically give that client access to every SiteTrax.io customer, project, or site.

Users can only query information made available to their SiteTrax.io account.

Remote MCP traffic uses HTTPS.

OAuth access tokens are used to authorize protected requests. Do not place access tokens, passwords, or secrets into prompts.

Data Accuracy and Interpretation

SiteTrax.io returns operational observations and processing results.

Not every stored result should be interpreted as a verified physical event without considering its type and processing status.

For example:

When operational decisions depend on a result, use the supporting SiteTrax.io record and available evidence.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Likely cause What to do
The MCP client cannot connect The client does not support remote HTTPS MCP servers, or a network control is blocking the endpoint Confirm the endpoint is https://mcp.sitetrax.io/mcp, that the client supports remote HTTPS MCP servers and OAuth, and that no network or security control blocks the connection
Authentication never starts The client only supports local stdio MCP servers A stdio-only client cannot reach a remote endpoint. Use a client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth
Authentication succeeds but no projects appear The signed-in account has no shared projects, or a different account was used Confirm you signed in with the intended SiteTrax.io account and that at least one project is shared with it. This is a sharing question rather than an authentication one
A tool reports that another OAuth scope is required The operation needs sitetrax:notifications:write Reconnect the integration and approve the additional permission only if that capability is required for your workflow
An asset cannot be found Incomplete identifier, the wrong time window, or the project is not shared with your account Use the complete identifier, check its spelling, widen the time period, name the project or site, and confirm your account can reach that project
Results are too broad The prompt carries no operational context Add the project or site, a date or time range, the asset type, the camera, the status, or the exact equipment identifier
An image or video is not available Project configuration, record retention, user permissions, or redaction Media can be withheld while permitted operational metadata is still returned. The absence of media does not mean the underlying record is unavailable

For better results:

Example:

Using SiteTrax.io, summarize container and chassis activity at the Utah site for the last seven days and break the results down by status code and asset type.

About Model Context Protocol

Model Context Protocol is an open protocol that enables AI applications to connect to external tools and data sources.

Remote MCP servers can use Streamable HTTP for communication and OAuth-based authorization for protected resources.

SiteTrax.io implements MCP to make authorized physical-operations data available to compatible AI applications while retaining SiteTrax.io as the source system.

Connect SiteTrax.io to Microsoft 365 Copilot

Use the SiteTrax.io connector to bring live SiteTrax.io operational intelligence into Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Availability. The SiteTrax.io Federated Copilot Connector is in submission to Microsoft and is not yet listed in the Copilot connectors gallery. This page documents how the connector works and how it will be enabled once Microsoft publishes it. Until then, SiteTrax.io operational data is available through any MCP client that supports remote HTTPS servers with OAuth, using the endpoint https://mcp.sitetrax.io/mcp. See the SiteTrax.io MCP Server page for that path.

03_SiteTraxio_Microsoft_365_Copilot_Feature_440x250px.jpg

Overview

The SiteTrax.io Microsoft 365 Copilot Connector lets authorized users query SiteTrax.io operational data directly from Microsoft 365 Copilot.

SiteTrax.io is implemented as a Microsoft Federated Copilot Connector using Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Unlike a synced connector, the SiteTrax.io federated connector does not copy or index SiteTrax.io operational data into Microsoft 365. When Copilot needs SiteTrax.io information, it requests the authorized information from SiteTrax.io in real time.

Access remains tied to the user's SiteTrax.io permissions.

What You Can Do

After SiteTrax.io is connected, users can ask Microsoft 365 Copilot questions such as:

What SiteTrax.io sites do I have access to?

Summarize SiteTrax.io asset activity for the last seven days.

Where was container SITU 123456 7 last observed?

Show today's detections at the Utah site by status code and asset type.

Which SiteTrax.io records may require review today?

Were there any unusual volume gaps across my sites this week?

Compare SiteTrax.io activity this week with last week.

Copilot can use SiteTrax.io to retrieve and summarize authorized operational information without requiring the user to manually navigate through individual SiteTrax.io records.

Requirements

Before using the SiteTrax.io connector, you need:

Your Microsoft 365 administrator controls whether SiteTrax.io is available in your organization.

Your SiteTrax.io account controls which SiteTrax.io data you can access.

For Microsoft 365 Administrators

SiteTrax.io must be enabled for your Microsoft 365 organization before users can access it through Copilot.

Enable SiteTrax.io

Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center with an account that has the required Microsoft 365 administrative permissions.

Go to:

Copilot connectorsConnectors gallery

Find SiteTrax.io in the connectors gallery.

Review the connector information, including:

Approve or enable SiteTrax.io for the appropriate users or groups in your organization.

Microsoft can make connectors available through a staged rollout before organization-wide deployment. Your Microsoft 365 administrator determines who can use the connector.

If SiteTrax.io does not appear in the gallery, confirm that:

Changes to connector availability can require time to propagate through Microsoft 365.

Enabled connectors are managed under Copilot connectorsYour connections. To pilot SiteTrax.io with a limited group before a wider release, use Add staging and target a Microsoft Entra ID group. The Staged Rollout column shows which connectors are currently staged. Third-party federated connectors are a preview capability, so labels and placement can change.

For SiteTrax.io Users

After your administrator enables SiteTrax.io, you must connect your own SiteTrax.io account.

The SiteTrax.io federated connector uses user-level authentication. It does not use one shared SiteTrax.io account for the entire Microsoft 365 organization.

Connect Your Account

Open Microsoft 365 Copilot with your work or school account.

When Copilot asks to connect to SiteTrax.io, select the option to connect or sign in.

You will be redirected to the SiteTrax.io authorization process.

  1. Sign in to your SiteTrax.io account.

  2. Review the SiteTrax.io access requested for Microsoft Copilot.

  3. Approve the connection.

  4. Return to Microsoft 365 Copilot.

After authorization, Copilot can use the SiteTrax.io connector when your prompt requires SiteTrax.io information.

You do not need to provide your SiteTrax.io password to Microsoft Copilot.

Read-Only Copilot Access

The SiteTrax.io Federated Copilot Connector is read-only.

Microsoft enables only MCP tools that carry the read-only annotation, so the connector surfaces SiteTrax.io search and retrieval capabilities and nothing else. Write capabilities are additionally gated behind the separate sitetrax:notifications:write scope, which is not granted to the Copilot connection.

The Copilot connector does not expose SiteTrax.io tools that:

Microsoft Copilot can query authorized SiteTrax.io information, but the federated connector cannot use the connector to modify SiteTrax.io or create external automations.

This restriction is enforced by SiteTrax.io authorization in addition to the MCP tool configuration used by the Microsoft connector.

What Data Can Copilot Access?

Copilot can only access SiteTrax.io data that the signed-in SiteTrax.io user is authorized to access.

Depending on the customer's configuration, this can include:

Projects and Sites

Asset Observations

Operational Intelligence

Supporting Evidence

Where permitted and available:

Project redaction policies and SiteTrax.io permissions continue to apply.

SiteTrax.io Data Stays in SiteTrax.io

SiteTrax.io uses Microsoft's federated connector architecture.

SiteTrax.io operational data is requested from SiteTrax.io in real time when Copilot needs it.

The connector does not operate as a Microsoft 365 synced connector and does not create a separate Microsoft 365 index of SiteTrax.io operational records.

SiteTrax.io remains the source system.

Permissions

There are two separate levels of access.

Microsoft 365 Access

Your Microsoft 365 administrator determines whether the SiteTrax.io connector is available to you.

SiteTrax.io Access

Your SiteTrax.io account determines which projects and operational data you can access.

Enabling the connector in Microsoft 365 does not grant additional SiteTrax.io project permissions.

For example, if your SiteTrax.io account can access three projects, Copilot can query those authorized projects. It cannot use the connector to access another customer's projects or a SiteTrax.io project that has not been shared with you.

Using SiteTrax.io in Copilot

Troubleshooting

Symptom Likely cause What to do
SiteTrax.io does not appear in Microsoft 365 Copilot Your organization has not enabled the connector, or it is staged to a group you are not in Ask your Microsoft 365 administrator whether the SiteTrax.io connector is enabled for your account or group. Availability is controlled by your organization, not by SiteTrax.io
SiteTrax.io appears but the connection fails SiteTrax.io sign-in, the browser, or an organizational security control is blocking the authorization flow Confirm you have an active SiteTrax.io account and can sign in normally, that your browser permits the authorization redirect, and that your organization allows the connection. If it persists, contact SiteTrax.io support
Copilot says you need to authenticate First use, expired authorization, revoked access, or a changed connector configuration Complete the SiteTrax.io OAuth sign-in. No SiteTrax.io password is given to Microsoft
Copilot cannot find a project The project is not shared with your SiteTrax.io account Sign in to SiteTrax.io and confirm the project is shared with you. Microsoft Copilot cannot widen your SiteTrax.io permissions
Copilot cannot find an asset A partial identifier, or the prompt did not name SiteTrax.io Use the complete identifier and name SiteTrax.io in the prompt. Add the site or an approximate observation date if needed
Two users see different results Expected. SiteTrax.io access is scoped per user Nothing to fix. Two users with different SiteTrax.io project permissions correctly receive different answers
Copilot cannot create an alert or change SiteTrax.io data Expected. The connector is read-only Write and automation capabilities require the sitetrax:notifications:write scope, which the Copilot connection does not receive. Use the SiteTrax.io Service Portal or another MCP client for those operations
Results need more context The prompt is too broad for the data available Specify the site or project, a date range, the asset type, the identifier, the camera, the status, or the comparison you want

Disconnecting or Revoking Access

Your organization can disable the SiteTrax.io connector through Microsoft 365 connector administration.

Users or administrators can also revoke the applicable authorization according to the SiteTrax.io and Microsoft 365 account controls available to them.

After authorization is revoked, Microsoft Copilot can no longer retrieve protected SiteTrax.io data through that connection.

Known Issues and Limitations

Security and Privacy

SiteTrax.io access through Microsoft Copilot follows the authenticated user's SiteTrax.io permissions.
