## Description

Imagine you have a massive database in Knack and you're tired of clicking through nested menus to find one specific customer record or to update a batch of order statuses. With this Connector, you just tell your AI what you need. You can ask it to find every customer who hasn't paid their last invoice and update their status to "Overdue" in one go. Instead of manually exporting CSVs or hunting for field keys, your AI understands the structure of your Knack app. You can ask it to describe your data layout, and it'll tell you exactly what fields are available. It's like having a data analyst who knows your specific database inside out. Because Vinkius makes it easy to connect these tools, you can jump from a high-level business question to a specific data update in seconds. It turns your no-code database into a conversational workspace where you spend less time on data entry and more time on actually running your business.

## Tools

### list_objects
See all objects in your application to find the correct object keys. Use this as the first step to understand your database structure.

### get_object_schema
Get metadata about an object to verify its name and structure. It helps you ensure you're working with the correct database table.

### list_records
Browse the actual data stored in a specific Knack object. This lets you see your records clearly without navigating the dashboard.

### get_record
Retrieve a specific entry by its ID for auditing or viewing details. It's perfect for getting a deep dive into a single record's info.

### update_record

### delete_record
Permanently remove a record from a Knack object. Use this carefully as the action cannot be undone.

### list_object_fields

### search_records
Find specific entries using the Knack filter format for complex queries. You can filter by any field criteria to narrow down your results.

### list_account_applications
View all applications in your account to find the correct IDs. This helps you verify your access and find the right app to manage.

### create_record
Add a new entry to a Knack object using a JSON string of field data. You can use this to populate your database from a chat conversation.

## Prompt Examples

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can the Knack MCP create new records for me?**
Yes, you can tell your agent to create new entries in any of your Knack objects. It will handle the data entry for you based on the information you provide in the chat.

**How do I find a specific record using the Knack MCP?**
You can ask your agent to search for records using specific filters. For example, you can ask it to find all orders over a certain amount or customers in a specific city.

**Will this Connector help me manage my Knack database faster?**
Definitely. It removes the need to navigate the Knack dashboard for routine tasks. You can perform updates, searches, and audits through a simple conversation.

**Can I see what fields are in my Knack objects?**
Yes, your agent can list all fields for any specific object. This is helpful for understanding your data structure or finding the correct keys for updates.

**Is it safe to use this Connector for my Knack data?**
This Connector uses your Knack REST API keys to perform actions. It only does what you tell it to do, like updating or deleting records based on your specific instructions.

**Does the Knack MCP support bulk updates?**
You can manage multiple records by providing structured data to your agent. It can process these updates one by one or as a batch based on your request.

**How do I start using the Knack MCP?**
You just need to subscribe to the Connector on Vinkius and provide your Knack Application ID and REST API Key. Once connected, you can start managing your data from any compatible AI client.

**How do I find the Object Key for a specific table?**
Use the `list_objects` tool. It will return all data objects in your application along with their names and unique keys (e.g., `object_1`). Use these keys for all subsequent record operations.

**Can I search records using multiple conditions?**
Yes. Use the `search_records` tool and provide a JSON array of filter objects. For example: `[{"field":"field_1", "operator":"is", "value":"active"}, {"field":"field_2", "operator":"contains", "value":"premium"}]`.

**How do I know which fields to use when creating a record?**
Use the `list_object_fields` tool with the target `object_key`. It will list all fields, their types, and their keys (e.g., `field_1`), which you must use as property names in your data JSON.
