What is the Kintone MCP Server?
Connect your Kintone platform to any AI agent to automate your business operations. This MCP server enables your agent to interact with custom apps, manage data records, and query organizational metadata directly.
What you can do
- Record Management — List, retrieve, add, and update records in any of your Kintone apps
- App Discovery — List all available applications and retrieve detailed configurations and field mappings
- Data Querying — Use Kintone's powerful query language to filter records based on complex criteria
- Form Inspection — Access form field settings and layouts to understand data structures
- Space Visibility — List members and participants within your Kintone collaboration spaces
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Kintone Subdomain and API Token
- Start managing your business data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Operations Teams — Automate data entry and record updates via natural language commands
- Project Managers — Quickly query project statuses and task records from your IDE
- Business Analysts — Retrieve and analyze app data without manually exporting CSV files

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Kintone becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Kintone tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
How do I find the App ID for a specific application?
Use the list_apps tool to see a comprehensive list of all applications in your environment along with their unique App IDs.
Can I filter records using custom criteria?
Yes, the list_records tool accepts an optional Kintone query string, allowing you to filter data based on field values, status, and more.
Is it possible to update an existing record via the agent?
Absolutely. Use the update_record tool with the App ID and Record ID, providing a JSON object with the fields you wish to modify.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
