The results of your request

What happens after you connect

The AI handles the file management so you don't have to log into a separate dashboard.

SYNC

Fresh context

The AI adds new documents to the knowledge base. Your bot immediately starts using this new information to answer questions.

AUDIT

View existing files

Your agent pulls a list of everything currently in the knowledge base. This helps you see what the bot knows.

MANAGE

Keep data current

You can identify which documents are outdated. This ensures the bot doesn't rely on old or wrong information.

HUMAN

Manual review

If a document upload fails or a file is corrupted, the AI tells you. You'll need to fix the file on your computer and try again.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request an update.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat window and the GPTBots document storage.

  1. Check current files

    The agent looks up all the documents currently providing context to your bot.

    list_knowledge_documents

  2. Add new information

    The AI takes the file or text you provide and saves it to the knowledge base.

    create_knowledge_document

  3. Verify the upload

    The agent checks the list again to confirm the new document is present and ready.

    list_knowledge_documents

  4. Confirm readiness

    The AI tells you that the knowledge base is updated and the bot is ready to use the new data.

FAQ

How the knowledge update works

  • 01

    Can the AI delete documents from my knowledge base?

    No. This MCP only allows the AI to list and create documents. You must delete files through the GPTBots dashboard.

  • 02

    Can I update an existing document?

    No. You can only create new documents. To change an old one, you'll need to manage the files in your GPTBots account.

  • 03

    Does the AI see the content of every file?

    The AI can see the list of files and the content you specifically ask it to create or process.

  • 04

    Can I use this to change the bot's system prompt?

    No. This tool is strictly for managing the knowledge base documents, not the core bot instructions.

  • 05

    Will the bot know about the new file immediately?

    Yes. Once the creation tool confirms the document is added, the bot uses that context for future queries.
