Perplexity

Map your Kintone database structure via MCP Server

Don't guess field codes and API names. This MCP server lets your agent run `list_apps` to find the exact workspace you need, then inspects the layout with `get_app_fields`. You get the exact field types and IDs without opening a browser tab. It makes building workflows in Claude Desktop fast. Your agent reads the live schema, maps your fields, and prepares to write data. No more copy-pasting field keys from the Kintone admin panel.

Create and update database records instantly

Keeping databases fresh is a chore. Now you can tell your agent to write a new entry or modify an existing one. The server runs `add_records` or `update_records` to execute the changes in seconds. If you need to clean up old test data, you can prune the database directly. The agent uses `delete_records` to wipe out the junk. You get clean, updated tables without manual clicking.

Read live records and space metadata

Pulling information shouldn't require complex API calls. This MCP server lets your agent use `get_record` to grab a specific customer file or `list_records` to fetch a filtered list based on your query. You can also check on team collaboration hubs. The `get_space_details` tool pulls thread information and member lists so you know exactly who has access to what.
