Question 3

Popular workflows include real-time documentation, technical troubleshooting, content creation, and data analysis discussions directly within your Teams channels for seamless collaboration.

Question 6

Yes, initial setup typically requires Teams admin permissions to install the connector and configure security settings. However, once deployed, individual team members can interact with ChatGPT through authorized channels without needing additional administrative access or special permissions.

Question 9

What happens if ChatGPT or the LLM goes offline?

The Teams MCP connector includes failover mechanisms and status monitoring. If your primary LLM becomes unavailable, you can quickly switch to backup models or receive notifications about service status. Ravenala maintains uptime monitoring and provides alternative AI options for business continuity.

Accepted Answer

Security is paramount in our Teams MCP design. All communications use end-to-end encryption, comply with SOC 2 standards, and support enterprise-grade authentication including SSO and MFA. Data residency options ensure compliance with regional regulations like GDPR and HIPAA requirements.
