# Quip MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Quip MCP connects your Quip workspace to your AI agent. Use it to search for specific documents, read through team threads, and push content updates directly into your collaborative workspace. It bridges the gap between your team's knowledge base and your AI assistant. ## Overview - **Category:** industry-titans - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_1UL0UXQhlYqZkSucrFrpZEiYn5ngmAqW6z1GXsjb/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** document-collaboration, spreadsheets, team-messaging, content-management, knowledge-base ## Description This Connector connects your Quip workspace to your AI agent so you can work with your team's documents without leaving your current app. It lets your agent find specific content across your entire account or grab the most recent threads you've been working on. If you need to stay on top of feedback, it can pull messages and comments from any document so you don't miss a beat. It even handles the heavy lifting of updating content. You can tell your agent to draft a summary or a new section and push that text straight into a Quip thread as HTML. It's a huge time saver for anyone who lives in Quip for project tracking or documentation. You can find this Connector in the Vinkius catalog to get your workspace connected in minutes. ## Tools ### get_thread Pulls the full content of a single Quip document or thread. Use this to read a specific page's full text. ### get_threads Fetches multiple Quip threads at once using a list of IDs. This is great for grabbing content from several docs. ### get_recent_threads Shows you the documents you've worked on lately. It helps your agent quickly find your most relevant work. ### search_threads Searches your whole Quip account for specific text. Use this to find a needle in a haystack across your workspace. ### get_folder Shows the details of a specific folder in your hierarchy. It helps you navigate your workspace structure. ### get_folders Grabs details for a group of folders by their IDs. Use this to see the contents of multiple directories at once. ### get_messages Pulls all chat messages or comments from a specific thread. This lets your agent read through team discussions. ### get_user Retrieves the profile for a specific person in your workspace. Use this to get info on a specific collaborator. ### get_contacts Lists everyone you collaborate with in Quip. This helps your agent identify your team members. ### edit_document Updates a document by pushing HTML content into a thread. This lets your agent write directly into your docs. ### get_current_user Gets your profile info to confirm who is connected. This ensures your agent knows which account it's accessing. ### list_blobs Shows all the images and files inside a specific thread. Use this to see what assets are attached to a doc. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Find the latest project roadmap in Quip and tell me what's next. ``` **Response:** ``` I searched your Quip workspace and found the **Engineering Q3 Roadmap**. Here are the next steps: * **Complete API Migration** (Due: Aug 15) * **Update Documentation** (Due: Aug 20) * **Finalize Security Audit** (Due: Sept 1) Would you like me to pull more details on the API Migration? ``` **Prompt:** ``` What did the team say about the new logo in the last thread? ``` **Response:** ``` I checked the messages in the **Brand Assets** thread. The feedback is mostly positive: * **Sarah** liked the color palette but suggested a bolder font. * **Mike** thinks the icon is too small for mobile. * **Jason** approved the final version for the landing page. Summary: 3 approvals, 2 minor design tweaks requested. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Add a 'Next Steps' section to the 'Q3 Goals' document with a bulleted list. ``` **Response:** ``` I've added the new section to the **Q3 Goals** document. Here is what was pushed: ## Next Steps * Finalize budget approval. * Onboard new team members. * Launch the beta program.

The agent uses search_threads and get_thread to find the correct doc and show the code. ### Summarizing team feedback A PM asks what people said about the 'Q3 Plan.' The agent uses get_messages to read the thread and summarize the sentiment. ### Drafting client updates An AE drafts a status update and the agent uses edit_document to put that text into the shared Quip doc for the client. ### Recalling recent work A user asks 'What was I working on yesterday?' The agent uses get_recent_threads to list the most recently modified documents. ## Benefits - Stop switching tabs by using search_threads to find specific docs instantly. - Get immediate project context by pulling your latest work with get_recent_threads. - Keep your team updated by pushing new content directly into docs using edit_document. - Stay on top of feedback without manual clicking by pulling comments with get_messages. - Organize your workspace better by navigating the folder hierarchy with get_folders. - See every asset in a doc by listing embedded files with list_blobs. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a direct line from your AI to your team's collaborative documents. 1. Subscribe to this Connector and grab your Quip Personal Access Token. 2. Connect the token to your AI client. 3. Ask your agent to find, read, or edit your Quip documents. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can the Quip MCP search my documents?** Yes, it can perform full-text searches across all the documents you have access to in your Quip account. **How do I let my AI edit Quip files?** The Connector allows your agent to push HTML content directly into a specific Quip thread, making it easy to update docs automatically. **Can my AI read team comments in Quip?** Yes, it can pull all chat messages and comments from any thread so your agent can summarize feedback or find specific info. **Does the Quip MCP work with my existing folders?** It can navigate your entire folder hierarchy, allowing your agent to find content in specific directories or list folder details. **Can I use the Quip MCP to see images in my docs?** Yes, the Connector can list all the images and files that are embedded within a specific Quip thread. **How do I connect Quip to my AI agent?** Just connect this Connector via Vinkius and provide your Quip Personal Access Token to give your agent permission to interact with your workspace. **How do I securely obtain my Quip Access Token?** Sign in to your Quip account. Navigate to your API token generator page (usually at `platform.quip.com` or via Quip's Developer Settings). Generate a **Personal Access Token**, copy the string, and securely save it in the configuration fields below. **Can I provide a Quip document URL to my AI, or just the ID?** You can provide the standard URL. The agent is capable of recognizing the URL structure, extracting the alphanumeric `thread_id`, and performing the operation accurately. **Can it read embedded images or files inside the document?** The agent detects their existence by reading the raw structure and uses `list_blobs` to catalog attachments. However, downloading the actual files depends on your client's supported capabilities. **Is the edit operation destructive?** The `edit_document` function uses Quip's native append logic to add new HTML blocks at the end of the document, mitigating complete overwrites. Additionally, Quip maintains a full version history allowing rollbacks if necessary.
