Overview
Connect Dust to your Minoa workspace and supercharge your AI agents with real-time sales data. Once connected, your Dust agents can query your pipeline, analyze use case performance, and even create business cases — all through natural conversation.
What Can I Do With This?
Once connected, your Dust agents can help you with:
| What You Want | What to Ask |
|---|
| See your deals | ”Show me my open business cases” |
| Check pipeline health | ”How’s my pipeline doing this quarter?” |
| Find what’s working | ”Which use cases have the highest win rate?” |
| Prep for a meeting | ”Create a business case for Acme Corp — they’re enterprise fintech” |
| Get deal details | ”Show me the Snowflake business case” |
Getting Started
You’ll need Admin access to your Dust workspace to add the Minoa integration.
Step 1: Add the MCP Server
- In Dust, navigate to Spaces > Tools in the sidebar
- Click + Add Tools
- Select MCP Server from the available options
- Enter the Minoa MCP server URL (reach out to [email protected] for the URL)
- Leave Authentication set to Automatic — Dust will detect OAuth automatically
The URL will look something like https://mcp.minoa.io/api/mcp
Step 2: Choose Authentication Mode
After entering the URL, you’ll be asked how you want to connect:
| Mode | Description | Best For |
|---|
| Personal accounts | Each team member logs in with their own Minoa credentials | Most teams — provides audit trails and respects individual permissions |
| Shared account | All agents use a single set of credentials you provide | Service accounts or workspace-wide bots |
We recommend Personal accounts for most use cases. This ensures every action your Dust agents take is logged under the right user, and agents can only access data that user is allowed to see.
Step 3: Authorize Access
- After adding the server, click Connect
- You’ll be redirected to Minoa to sign in
- Review the permissions and click Authorize
- You’ll be redirected back to Dust
Once authorized, the Minoa tools will appear in your workspace’s Tools list.
Now you can add Minoa capabilities to any Dust agent:
- Open the agent you want to enhance (or create a new one)
- Go to the Tools & Knowledge section
- Find Minoa in the available tools and enable it
- Save your agent
Your Dust agent can now access your Minoa data!
Try It Out
Open a conversation with your Minoa-enabled agent and ask:
“What business cases do I have open right now?”
If the agent responds with your actual deals, you’re all set.
Things Your Agent Can Do
Browse Business Cases
- “Show me all my open business cases”
- “Find business cases for Acme”
- “List my won deals”
Check Your Pipeline
- “How’s my pipeline doing?”
- “What’s my win rate this quarter?”
- “Show me pipeline trends for the last 90 days”
Find What’s Working

- “What should I be leading with in enterprise deals?”
- “Show me our top performing value drivers”
Get Deal Details

- “What’s the value story for the Stripe deal?”
- “Pull up the ROI breakdown for Acme”
Explore Your Value Framework

Create a Business Case
- “Create a business case for Stripe — enterprise fintech”
- “Set up a BC for a mid-market healthcare company called MedTech”
- “I have a call with Notion tomorrow — build me a business case”
When you ask an agent to create a business case, it will:
- Find or create the account in Minoa
- Analyze which use cases win in similar deals
- Add the best-fit use cases automatically
- Generate an AI value hypothesis
- Return a link to the new business case
Managing Access
Space-Based Restrictions
By default, Minoa tools are available to all users in your Dust workspace. To restrict access:
- Click the Sharing tab on the Minoa tool
- Enable Restricted Access
- Select which spaces can use the tool
Only members of those spaces will be able to use Minoa capabilities.
Disconnecting
To revoke Minoa access:
- Navigate to Spaces > Tools in Dust
- Find Minoa and click on it
- Click Remove or Disconnect
If using personal credentials, each user can also revoke their own authorization from their Minoa account settings.
