What is the Smartsheet MCP Server?

Connect your Smartsheet account to any AI agent and empower your team to query project configurations, internal spreadsheets, and custom reports seamlessly. Interact with your organization's grids through natural language without ever switching tabs.

What you can do

Project Navigation — Easily map out your hierarchical structures calling list_workspaces and list_folders to find correct document locations
Sheet Deep-Dives — Browse all your active spreadsheets using list_sheets and extract raw rows/columns instantly via get_sheet_details
Reporting Overviews — Retrieve saved tabular aggregations automatically calling list_reports across all configured company sheets
Identity Profiling — Test the connectivity and query authorized scopes by requesting the internal get_current_user tool

How it works

Subscribe to this server
Enter your Personal Smartsheet Access Token
Start using Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client to query the state of your tabular data

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI understand the raw tabular data of my spreadsheet?

Yes. When you call the get_sheet_details tool, the server returns the spreadsheet's metadata, including all column names, types (e.g., date, dropdown), and rows. The AI maps the internal IDs together to form a highly accurate contextual grid of your project.

Does my agent need to use a sheet ID?

No manual hunting needed! While the underlying tool does require a sheet ID, you can just tell your bot, 'Find our Onboarding Spreadsheet and read the rows'. The AI will first scan via list_sheets, match the textual name to the ID, and then naturally pull the targeted entity.

How do I list folders within a workspace?

Your AI agent will act autonomously. Ask it to 'check our Engineering workspace' and it will first fetch its workspace ID and intelligently map the nested sub-folders and sheets stored inside. You can instruct it to keep going deeper as needed.

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.
