The September 2025 Release of the RheinInsights Retrieval Suite
September 1, 2025
The September release brings multiple new ways to integrate the RheinInsights Retrieval Suite into your applications and where work takes place. It furthermore offers integrations towards your agents so that your AI agents can foster organizational knowledge.
Model Context Protocol
In particular, the RheinInsights Retrieval Suite now supports Model Context Protocol (MCP). This way, you can easily leverage organizational knowledge through the Suiteās query pipelines, in your favorite AI tools. For instance in Microsoft Copilot, in Claude and all other MCP clients (see e.g. https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients).

Teams Bot Support
If you want to securely integrate your organizational into Microsoft Teams and directly chat with your data, then you can use our Azure Bot and Teams integrations. Both have the advantage that they leverage our secure search pipelines. This means that you get meaningful and relevant answers to your questions based on the knowledge which you can access in the indexed sources. For more information on this topic you might want to have a look at our blog post on grounding with permissions.
