About Dovetail MCP Server
Connect your Dovetail account to any AI agent and take full control of your user research and insight management workflows through natural conversation.
Pydantic AI validates every Dovetail tool response against typed schemas, catching data inconsistencies at build time. Connect 7 tools through Vinkius and switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini without changing your integration code. full type safety, structured output guarantees, and dependency injection for testable agents.
What you can do
- Project Orchestration — List and manage research projects programmatically and retrieve detailed metadata about goals and participants
- Note Architecture — Create and organize research notes (interviews, usability tests, raw data) with specific content types (HTML, Markdown) directly from your agent
- Insight Management — Programmatically publish research findings and summaries to maintain a high-fidelity record of your team's discoveries
- Deep Search — Find relevant research data across projects using powerful query filters for titles and content
- Workspace Visibility — Retrieve complete directories of workspace members to coordinate collaboration and manage team access
The Dovetail MCP Server exposes 7 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Pydantic AI in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
