Sync data sources directly inside Claude Desktop

The `upsert_datasource` tool lets you push documents and web links directly into your knowledge base from your chat window. This MCP Server lets your AI client read local files or URLs and update your repository instantly. You can also run `get_datastore` or `list_datastores` to check which files are already indexed. This gives you instant confirmation that your latest technical docs or support guides are ready for your agents to use.

Build custom Chaindesk agents via this MCP Server

The `create_agent` tool lets you spawn new support or lead-gen agents with custom system prompts right from your desktop. If you need to tweak an existing system prompt, run `update_agent` to modify its behavior on the fly. You control the exact instructions and datastore connections without writing a single line of backend code. When you need to clean up old experiments, use `delete_agent` to remove them from your account instantly. It keeps your workspace clean and ensures your active agents only reference current, verified prompts.

Run live queries and inspect chat histories

The `query_agent` tool sends messages to your active agents to test how they handle specific customer questions. You see exactly how they answer before deploying them to production. To debug weird responses, call `get_messages` or `list_conversations` to pull up past chat logs. This lets you inspect the exact conversation flow and fix prompt issues before your customers hit them.
