What is the Showpad MCP Server?
Grant your AI agent (like Claude or Cursor) absolute administrative observability over your Showpad sales enablement environment. The Showpad MCP equips your LLM to act as a fully autonomous vault auditor. Forget manually opening platform channels and endless folders—now you can interrogate asset libraries, audit user hierarchies, and extract direct sales collateral exclusively via natural conversational prompts interacting deeply with your dedicated API.
What you can do
- Massive Collateral Infiltration — Rip through your organizational asset vault via
list_assetsandsearch_assets. Found the brochure you need? Drill down violently withget_asset_detailsto extract all underlying metadata - User & Division Surveillance — Audit seller hierarchies invoking
list_usersand pull their raw profiles viaget_user_details. Scope out overarching structures usinglist_divisionsto forecast alignment without opening a single dashboard - Taxonomy & Channel Cartography — Interrogate the categorization mechanics applying
list_tagsand map the publishing pipelines by extractinglist_channels
How it works
- Anchor this core interface directly within your native MCP agent framework natively
- Safely entrench your
SHOWPAD_ACCESS_TOKENandSHOWPAD_SUBDOMAINmatrix inside the workspace to lock down security boundaries - Engage your agent pragmatically: "Search all assets tagged with 'Q3 Launch' and check which division they belong to based on their publisher!"

Frequently asked questions
Can the integration alter, upload, or delete assets directly?
By structural design, this module is strictly bound as an observational and auditing lens. Operations such as search_assets, list_channels, and get_user_details parse and extract massive contextual architecture. It explicitly omits write mechanisms preventing your autonomous agent from accidentally sabotaging or permanently deleting valid organizational sales assets.
Why construct this manually over downloading platform-provided CSVs?
Static extracts decay instantly upon creation implicitly blinding observers. The MCP parameter configuration hands your prompt active, unadulterated runtime authority to scan real-time hierarchies, pull active tags, and interrogate asset metadata aggressively instantly. It creates dynamic query dialogue natively routing structural truths.
Are specific domain aliases required for the query logic?
Yes exactly. Because Showpad physically partitions tenants distinctively, providing and solidifying the SHOWPAD_SUBDOMAIN variable string guarantees the underlying path execution targets explicitly your organizational API backbone (your-subdomain.showpad.biz) ruthlessly.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
