MedScout MCP Trial: User Setup Guide

D
Written by Dan Wagner

Overview

The MedScout MCP trial puts MedScout data inside the AI platform your company already uses: Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, or ChatGPT.

Setup takes two steps: your AI platform admin adds MedScout once, then you connect using the trial login we sent you via email.

Step 1: Check what you need

  1. Your MedScout trial login, from your setup email.

  2. An admin on Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, or ChatGPT who can add MedScout as a connector.

Step 2: Have your admin add MedScout

Your admin does this once for your whole company. Already done? Skip to Step 3.

  1. Find your platform in the table below.

  2. Send your admin the MCP Trial: Admin Setup Guide, and optionally send them the setup guide for your AI platform from the list below.

  3. Your admin confirms MedScout is added.

Step 3: Connect your account

  1. Open your AI platform and find MedScout:

    • Claude: Customize > Connectors > MedScout

      • To improve your experience once connected, visit the settings menu and select Connectors. Click on MedScout MCP and select "Always Allow" under Tool permissions and Write/delete tools.

    • Microsoft Copilot: Microsoft 365 Copilot > Agent Store > Your agents > MedScout

    • ChatGPT: Plugins > MedScout MCP

    • Gemini: You will be prompted to sign in with your trial credentials the first time you request information from MedScout.

  2. Click Connect. In Copilot, open the MedScout agent and send a message.

  3. Sign in with the trial login from your setup email.

Step 4: Test it

  1. Start a new chat and turn on MedScout in your tools or connectors.

  2. Ask "What MedScout tools do you have?" A list means you're connected. For Gemini users, this should prompt you to log in.

  3. Try a real question, such as "Show me the top 10 providers by [procedure, device, code] volume in [your city of choice]."

Troubleshooting

Issue

Fix

MedScout isn't in my tools

Check that you're in your work account, not a personal one. If you are, your admin hasn't finished setup.

I see "Not connected"

Ask your admin to finish setup, including any approval or publish step.

Sign-in fails

Use the login from your trial setup email.

The assistant says it has no MedScout tools

Disconnect, reconnect, and watch for the sign-in window.

Slow or no response

Check your AI platform's status page, such as Claude Status.
