About Smartsheet MCP Server
Connect your Smartsheet account to any AI agent to automate your enterprise work management and collaboration orchestration. Smartsheet provides a powerful platform for tracking projects and data, and this integration allows you to retrieve sheet metadata, manage rows, and search through workspaces through natural conversation.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Smartsheet into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Smartsheet and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 12 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
What you can do
- Sheet & Data Orchestration — List all managed sheets and retrieve detailed profile metadata, including columns and structural definitions programmatically.
- Row Lifecycle Management — Add, update, and delete rows within your sheets with full control over cell data directly from the AI interface.
- Workspace & Report Control — Access and monitor your workspaces and reports to maintain a clear overview of your projects via natural language.
- Search & Discovery Intelligence — Search through specific sheets to quickly find the information you need and retrieve filtered data results.
- Operational Monitoring — Access user profiles and monitor system health to ensure reliable data synchronization between Smartsheet and your AI workflows.
