What is the Knack MCP Server?
Connect your Knack application to any AI agent and take full control of your no-code database through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Database Schema Discovery — List all objects and fields to understand your data structure without leaving the chat
- Record Management — Create, retrieve, update, and delete records in any object securely
- Advanced Querying — Search for specific records using complex filters based on any field criteria
- Data Auditing — Get detailed summaries of specific records to verify information or track changes
- Bulk Operations — Effortlessly manage multiple records by providing structured data to your agent
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Knack Application ID and REST API Key
- Start managing your data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Operations Managers — quickly query and update business data without navigating complex dashboards
- No-Code Developers — verify data structures and test API interactions through natural language
- Data Analysts — extract specific datasets for rapid analysis and reporting
Built-in capabilities (10)
You must provide the data as a JSON string where keys are the field keys (e.g., field_1). Ensure you have checked the object schema first to know which fields are required. Create a new record in a Knack object
Use with caution as this action cannot be undone. Delete a record from a Knack object
Returns metadata including the object name, key, and high-level structure. Use this to verify you are working with the correct database table. Get the schema of a specific Knack object
Requires both the object_key and the record_id. Use this for detailed auditing of a specific entry. Get a specific record by ID
Use this to verify access or discover application IDs. List all applications in the account
This is crucial for understanding the data types and identifying the field keys (field_1, field_2, etc.) needed for creating or updating records. List all fields for a specific Knack object
This is the first step to understand the database structure and find the "Object Key" needed for record operations. List all objects in the Knack application
You must provide the object_key. Use this to browse the actual data stored in your database. List records for a specific Knack object
The filters must be provided as a JSON string following the Knack Filter format (e.g., "[{\"field\":\"field_1\", \"operator\":\"is\", \"value\":\"test\"}]"). Search for records using filters
Provide only the fields you wish to change in the JSON string data. This is a partial update. Update an existing record in a Knack object
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Knack into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Knack and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How do I find the Object Key for a specific table?
Use the list_objects tool. It will return all data objects in your application along with their names and unique keys (e.g., object_1). Use these keys for all subsequent record operations.
Can I search records using multiple conditions?
Yes. Use the search_records tool and provide a JSON array of filter objects. For example: [{"field":"field_1", "operator":"is", "value":"active"}, {"field":"field_2", "operator":"contains", "value":"premium"}].
How do I know which fields to use when creating a record?
Use the list_object_fields tool with the target object_key. It will list all fields, their types, and their keys (e.g., field_1), which you must use as property names in your data JSON.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
