Quip MCP. Search, read, and edit collaborative docs with AI.

Your AI client connects straight to Quip. It gives your agent deep access to everything—your live documents, spreadsheets, and team chats. You don’t have to leave your IDE; you can pull all this info right where you are working.

Search and Discovery

You need information from a mountain of docs? Your agent runs full-text searches across every Quip document you've got access to using the search_threads tool. You can also quickly check what threads you or your team have looked at lately with get_recent_threads. Need to drill down into one specific conversation? You fetch all the content and metadata for any single thread ID with get_thread.

If you're dealing with multiple conversations, you can batch-fetch them using a comma-separated list of IDs via get_threads.

Document Content Management

When you need to work inside the file itself, your agent handles it. You can retrieve detailed metadata for an entire folder by calling get_folder, or grab batch details for multiple folders at once using a list of IDs in get_folders. For specific people, your client pulls basic profile info for the user currently logged in with get_current_user, and it can also pull detailed profiles for any other user if you provide their ID via get_user.

Reading and Reviewing Data

When you need to see what's inside, your agent has options. You get the full content of a single thread using get_thread. If you want to check out all the comments and messages attached to that document—maybe looking for feedback—you use get_messages to list every chat comment tied to a specific thread ID.

Embedded media, like images or files, don't escape your notice either; you pull a complete list of everything embedded in a given thread using list_blobs. You can also get a simple roster of everyone who collaborates with your account by running get_contacts.

Making Changes and Edits

Sometimes, 'reading' isn't enough. Your agent lets you programmatically update an existing Quip document using the edit_document tool. You just provide structured HTML payloads, and your client writes that content directly into a specific Quip document.

How It Works

You authorize this server with your Quip Personal Access Token. Then, you tell your AI client exactly what job it needs to do—'Find all mentions of Q3 revenue in the marketing docs,' or 'Change the date on slide five.' Your agent then picks the right tool, like search_threads or get_messages, runs it against Quip, and hands you the clean data.

It doesn't just find the info; it formats it for you.
