Knowledge Base — UBT Cortex

Getting Started

How to Access the Knowledge Base

There are two ways to query the Knowledge Base. Choose the one that fits your workflow.

💬

Option 1 — Chatbot

Ask questions in natural language through the UBT Cortex Chatbot. It searches both code structure and documentation to give you answers with context.

Open the chatbot at chat.cortex.ubtconnect.com
Sign in with your UBT SSO credentials
Ask any question - e.g. "How does the booking service handle cancellations?" or "What did the team decide about the new API versioning?"

No setup required. Works in any browser. Great for quick lookups, requirements discovery, and exploring documentation.

Option 2 — MCP in VS Code

Connect the Cortex MCP server to GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code (or any MCP client — Claude Code, Claude.ai, Cursor). Your AI assistant gets real-time access to code graph queries and documentation search while you code.

Open VS Code and ensure the GitHub Copilot Chat extension is installed
Create or edit .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace root and paste the configuration below
Reload VS Code — on first use it opens a browser for Microsoft sign-in. No tokens go in the file.
One-time: register your GitHub & Atlassian tokens in the Cortex Portal → Connections to unlock the code-graph and knowledge-base tools

{ "servers": { "ubt-cortex": { "type": "http", "url": "https://portal.cortex.ubtconnect.com/mcp" } } }

Signed in, not pasted in. The server uses OAuth (Entra ID) — your client registers itself and signs you in through Microsoft, so no API tokens live in your config file.

GitHub & Atlassian access is per-user. After signing in, open the Cortex Portal → Connections and add a GitHub PAT (repo read) for code-graph tools and an Atlassian API token for knowledge-base search. Tokens are stored encrypted against your identity.

Administration

Ingestion Workflows

The tools below are used by administrators to ingest and index data into the Knowledge Base. They are not required for querying — end users should use the Chatbot or MCP options above.

Admin Only

📈

Code Graph

Ingestion workflow for parsing source code (C#, Python, JS, SQL, Terraform) into a searchable entity graph. Register GitHub repos, trigger re-indexing, and inspect results.

Ingestion workflow for documents and external sources. Upload files, connect Confluence, Jira, and SharePoint, configure sync schedules, and manage indexed content.

The raw MCP endpoint configuration and tool listing. Useful for verifying server health and inspecting available tools.

MCP Server Endpoint

OAuth-protected (Microsoft sign-in) — no tokens needed in the config. Use this URL in your .vscode/mcp.json or any MCP-compatible AI client.
