About Nuclino MCP Server
Connect your Nuclino account to your AI agent and seamlessly interact with your company's unified workspace for knowledge, docs, and projects.
The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 12 tools from Nuclino through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries Nuclino, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.
What you can do
- Teams & Workspaces — Rapidly list all teams you are part of, and enumerate the nested workspaces and collections to understand your organization's hierarchy.
- Search & Query — Perform global fuzzy searches using
search_itemsto track down specific documents, notes, or project pages across the entire knowledge base. - Read Items & Files — Read the exact content configuration of any item (document) via
get_item, and list attachments or files uploaded to the platform. - Record Creation — Instantly create new items natively inside your workspace using natural language.
- Telemetrics — Enumerate members and structural fields within your Nuclino domain to keep the agent aware of context and owners.
The Nuclino MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to OpenAI Agents SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
