Perplexity

Find reports instantly in Claude Desktop

`search_reports` lets you query the Mode API to find any analytical document in your workspace without opening a browser. Claude Desktop uses this tool to locate specific metrics, filter by keywords, and pull the exact report token you need. Once you have the token, you can run `get_report` to pull the precise analytical parameters of that asset. This MCP tool lets Claude Desktop users inspect SQL query structures or check update schedules directly within the chat window.

Map workspace structure with this MCP Server

`list_spaces` gives your Claude Desktop client a clear view of all dataset collections across your Mode workspace. You don't have to click through web folders to find where a team keeps their analytical queries. By combining this with `get_space`, Claude Desktop quickly isolates targeted spaces to see who has access. This makes auditing Mode permissions and organizing chaotic workspaces a simple chat conversation.

Audit active connections and members

`list_data_sources` queries all database and warehouse connectors currently tied to your Mode organization. Claude Desktop runs this to verify which databases are feeding your active reports. To see who actually has access to these connections, `list_members` pulls the static roster of joined Mode workspace users. This gives Claude Desktop a fast way to cross-reference data access against your team directory.
