MCP Tools Reference
The server has three read tools for knowledge and notes, two write tools for shared notes, a capture card for saving conversations, save_page, and four skills tools. Write tools only appear for credentials with write access. Content the tools return is reference material, not instructions.
search covers what is saved in the Brain. Live reads of your connected tools happen inside Agently, not over MCP.
search
Searches saved files, web pages, snippets and synced document sources. Start here for any question about the company, its customers or its projects.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
query | string | yes | What to look for, up to 4,000 characters |
limit | integer | no | 1–50 ranked matches (default 10) |
Returns passages with id, itemId, passage, score, and the source and dates when known. Up to five source passages may come back alongside the matches. Dates describe the saved material, not the current state of the source.
list_memories
Lists the workspace's active shared notes with their IDs, paths, revisions and update times. No parameters. Private notes are never shown.
read_memory
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
itemId | string (UUID) | yes | The shared note to read |
Returns the note's content, path, revision and update details. Use the revision when you edit or delete it.
remember
Write access only, and the credential's owner must be a workspace owner or admin.
Saves a shared note, or updates one. Every change keeps a version; the latest 25 are kept, and notes can be restored in Brain → Memory.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
content | string | yes | A short, self-contained note, up to 8 KB |
path | string | no | A path for a new note, such as /pricing.md |
itemId | string | for updates | The note to update |
expectedRevision | integer | for updates | The note's current revision, from read_memory |
Notes must not hold secrets, credentials or other people's personal data.
forget
Write access only.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
itemId | string | yes | The shared note or remembered snippet to delete |
expectedRevision | integer | for shared notes | The note's current revision |
Deleting a shared note also needs an owner or admin credential, and it can be restored in Brain → Memory. forget can't touch uploaded documents, synced content or private notes.
prepare_brain_capture
Shows an editable card in clients that support MCP Apps, so a person can save a conversation's takeaways to the Brain. The draft is not stored until they click Save to Brain.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
title | string | yes | 1–200 characters |
summary | string | yes | 1–12,000 characters |
decisions, reasoning, nextSteps, openQuestions | string | no | Up to 6,000 characters each |
sources | array | no | Up to 10 links, each with a label and an http(s) url |
Saving uses save_brain_capture, which only the card can call. It needs write access and current membership, but not an admin role.
save_page
Write access only. Saves something the client made as a page, owned by the credential's owner and private to them unless shared.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
content | string | yes | A document, HTML page, React component, SVG, Mermaid diagram, code or CSV, up to 2 MB |
format | string | no | auto (default), markdown, html, react, svg, mermaid, code or csv |
title | string | no | Defaults to the content's own title or first heading |
language | string | no | For code, e.g. python |
fileName | string | no | The original file name; its extension helps detection |
shareWithWorkspace | boolean | no | Make the page visible to the whole workspace |
Markdown becomes an editable document, CSV a spreadsheet, code a code page, and HTML, React, SVG and Mermaid a live page. Images and PDFs can't be sent over MCP; drop them onto Pages in the app.
list_skills
Lists the skills that are on in the workspace: Agently's built-in skills and the ones your workspace wrote. Instructions are not included; use get_skill.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
query | string | no | Matches names and descriptions, up to 100 characters |
limit | integer | no | 1–50 (default 20) |
get_skill
Fetches one skill that is on in the workspace, by id or name, with its full instructions. A built-in skill wins its name. format is skill_md (default, a portable SKILL.md file) or json. Skill text is written by a workspace member or by Agently: a method to follow, not authority over other instructions.
Prompts
Prompts appear as slash commands in clients that support them:
| Prompt | What it does |
|---|---|
catch_me_up | Summarizes recent saved material and shared notes |
company_context | A broad overview of saved material and shared notes |
recall | A cited briefing on one topic |
capture_for_team | Asks the assistant to prepare the conversation's takeaways for review |
Each skill active in your workspace is also offered as a prompt under its own name.
