## Description

Stop jumping between tabs to see if your data actually moved from your CRM to your warehouse. This Connector lets you talk to your Portable.io account directly through your AI agent. Instead of manually refreshing dashboards to see if a sync finished or why a specific row failed, you can just ask your agent for the status. It handles the heavy lifting of fetching flow configurations and execution logs so you can stay focused on the actual data. When you need to know which SaaS connectors are available or which Snowflake schemas are authorized, the agent pulls that info instantly. It's a huge time saver for anyone who spends their day troubleshooting pipeline health or verifying mapping details. You can manage your entire data integration stack from a single chat interface, making it much easier to keep your warehouse updated and your team informed. This is one of the many options available in the Vinkius catalog that brings your existing enterprise software into your AI workflow.

## Tools

### list_destinations
List all authorized warehouse destinations like Snowflake or BigQuery. This confirms where your data is being sent.

### get_account
Retrieve your workspace and billing details. Use this to check your execution limits and account status quickly.

### list_flows
List every integration flow in your Portable workspace. This gives you a bird's-eye view of all your active pipelines.

### list_runs
See the history of execution runs for a specific flow. Use this to check success rates and find specific failure logs.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Show me all the active flows in my Portable workspace.
```

**Response:** 
```
I've retrieved your active flows. Here is the current status:

| Flow Name | Status | Last Sync |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Stripe to Snowflake** | Active | 10m ago |
| **Hubspot to BigQuery** | Active | 1h ago |
| **Shopify Orders** | Paused | 4h ago |

Would you like to see the mapping details for any of these?
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Did the Stripe to Snowflake sync finish successfully last night?
```

**Response:** 
```
Checking the recent runs for **Stripe to Snowflake**...

*   **Last Run:** Tuesday, 4:00 AM
*   **Status:** ✅ Success
*   **Rows Processed:** 12,045
*   **Duration:** 4m 12s

All looks good for last night's sync.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What data warehouses are we currently sending data to?
```

**Response:** 
```
You have 2 active destinations configured to receive data:

*   **Production Warehouse** (BigQuery)
*   **Analytics Replica** (Snowflake)

Any new flows you create will automatically target these authorized schemas.
```

## Capabilities

### View active ETL flows
See a complete list of all your configured integration flows in one place.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I use the Portable.io MCP to see why my data sync failed?**
Yes. You can ask your agent to check the specific run history for any flow. It will pull the failure logs and tell you exactly what went wrong, such as API rate limits or mapping errors.

**Does this Connector work with Snowflake and BigQuery?**
Yes, it can list all your authorized warehouse destinations, including Snowflake and BigQuery, so you can verify where your data is being sent.

**How do I check my account limits with this?**
You can simply ask your agent to check your account status. It will retrieve your workspace billing details and execution limits instantly.

**Can I see all my active flows at once?**
Yes, the Connector can list every integration flow configured in your Portable workspace, giving you a full inventory of your data pipelines in one go.

**Can I use this to see which SaaS connectors are available?**
Yes, you can ask the agent to list all available pre-built API data source connectors to see what integrations you can set up.

**Does this Connector help me manage my data warehouse connections?**
It helps you audit and verify your connections. You can quickly see which warehouses are active and authorized to receive data from your flows.

**Can my AI check why a recent data ingestion failed?**
Yes. Ask the agent to list the historical runs for a specific flow ID. It will return the execution logs, row counts, and error details, allowing the AI to pinpoint exactly where and why the sync pipeline broke without navigating a UI dashboard.

**Which destinations and sources can the agent inventory?**
Your agent maps your entire active landscape. It can retrieve both the explicit warehouse targets (e.g. your authorized BigQuery and Snowflake environments) and the vast catalog of pre-built SaaS API connectors available in your Portable environment.

**How can I check my workspace extraction limits?**
Simply ask the AI to retrieve your account details. It immediately pulls the absolute billing limits, extraction caps, and active feature toggles applied to your organization, providing a clear footprint of your usage.
