How do I securely obtain my Quip Access Token?

Sign in to your Quip account. Navigate to your API token generator page (usually at `platform.quip.com` or via Quip's Developer Settings). Generate a **Personal Access Token**, copy the string, and securely save it in the configuration fields below.

Can I provide a Quip document URL to my AI, or just the ID?

You can provide the standard URL. The agent is capable of recognizing the URL structure, extracting the alphanumeric `thread_id`, and performing the operation accurately.

Can it read embedded images or files inside the document?

The agent detects their existence by reading the raw structure and uses `list_blobs` to catalog attachments. However, downloading the actual files depends on your client's supported capabilities.

Is the edit operation destructive?

The `edit_document` function uses Quip's native append logic to add new HTML blocks at the end of the document, mitigating complete overwrites. Additionally, Quip maintains a full version history allowing rollbacks if necessary.

Quip + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Quip MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Quip tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
