IcePanel MCP Connector

Overview

IcePanel is a collaborative platform for modelling and diagramming software architecture using the C4 model. The IcePanel MCP connector brings your architecture landscapes directly into Microsoft 365 Copilot through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), letting AI agents explore and update your model in natural language — querying systems, connections, teams, technologies and decision records, and keeping your architecture in sync — without leaving your Microsoft workflow.

The connector communicates with IcePanel's hosted MCP server at https://mcp.icepanel.io/mcp using the Streamable HTTP transport.

Prerequisites

1. IcePanel account

You need an active IcePanel account with access to at least one landscape. Access is granted per landscape at sign-in. Visit icepanel.io if your organization does not yet have an account.

2. OAuth authorization

Authentication is handled via OAuth. When creating the connection, you are redirected to IcePanel to sign in, authorize access and select the specific landscape the connector may read. No API key is required — OAuth handles authentication automatically.

3. Write access (optional)

Read access is available to any authorized user. Write and delete operations (model objects, connections and decision records) require an IcePanel administrator to enable OAuth write access in your organization's AI settings before they can be used.

How to get started

  1. Add the IcePanel connector to your Microsoft 365 Copilot agent.
  2. Create a connection and sign in with your IcePanel account when prompted.
  3. Authorize access and select the landscape you want the agent to work with.
  4. The connector is now available as a tool for your Copilot agent.

Example prompts:

  • "Which services depend on this API?"
  • "What does team X own in this system?"
  • "What is the most commonly used technology in my system?"
  • "Summarize the accepted architecture decision records for this landscape."

Supported capabilities

Tools are exposed to AI agents through the MCP protocol. Capabilities include:

Model (read)

  • Read model objects (systems, apps, stores, components, actors) and the domains that group them
  • Explore the connections and dependencies between model objects

Diagrams & flows (read)

  • Read the contents of diagrams and the step-by-step message flows between model objects

Teams, technologies & tags (read)

  • Read teams and their ownership, technology choices, and tags assigned across the landscape

Decision records / ADRs (read)

  • Read architecture decision records, including status, context and related model objects

Model (write)

  • Create and update model objects and connections (requires admin-enabled write access)

Decision records / ADRs (write)

  • Create and update architecture decision records (requires admin-enabled write access)

Known issues and limitations

  • The connector is designed for use with AI agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot and is not intended for traditional flow-builder actions.
  • The IcePanel MCP server is actively managed and being updated. Available tools may change as new capabilities are released.
  • Access is scoped to a single landscape per connection. To work with another landscape, create an additional connection and authorize that landscape.
  • Write and delete operations are unavailable unless an IcePanel administrator has enabled OAuth write access in AI settings.
  • The following are not supported by the MCP server: diagram creation, draft tools, version tools, and comment tools.
