What you can do with the Griptape MCP server

Ask your agent in plain language. Each of these maps to a real tool on the server.

  • Use the get assistant tool in Griptape
  • Use the manage ruleset tool in Griptape
  • Use the manage message tool in Griptape
  • Use the query knowledge base tool in Griptape
  • Use the list structures tool in Griptape
  • Use the manage bucket tool in Griptape

Supported Tools

get_assistant

Get Assistant

Retrieve detailed information about a specific assistant by its ID. Returns the assistant's configuration including connected knowledge bases, rulesets, tools, and structures.

manage_ruleset

Manage Ruleset

Create, update, retrieve, list, or delete rulesets and their individual rules. Rulesets group rules that steer LLM behavior and can be associated with Assistants and Structures. This tool handles both rulesets and rules in a single interface.

manage_message

Manage Message

Create, retrieve, update, delete, or list messages within a conversation thread. Messages represent input/output pairs in the conversation memory, used by Assistants and Structures for multi-turn context.

query_knowledge_base

Query Knowledge Base

Query or search a Griptape Cloud Knowledge Base using natural language. Knowledge Bases are collections of Data Sources that your LLM-powered applications can retrieve information from using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). Use query to retrieve relevant entries or search to return the provider search result.

list_structures

List Structures

List all deployed structures in your Griptape Cloud organization. Structures are custom Python components—pipelines, workflows, or agents—that can be triggered remotely.

manage_bucket

Manage Bucket

Create, list, retrieve, or delete Data Lake buckets in Griptape Cloud. Buckets provide cloud storage for staging and integrating external data (PDFs, text files, etc.) with your AI applications. Also supports updating buckets and listing, reading, uploading, downloading, and deleting files within a bucket.

list_retrievers

List Retrievers

List all retrievers in your Griptape Cloud organization. Retrievers provide RAG capabilities across multiple Knowledge Bases with reranking support.

run_tool_activity

Run Tool Activity

Execute an activity on a Griptape Cloud Tool. Tools extend LLM capabilities to interact with third-party services, APIs, search, and utilities. Each tool exposes named activities as HTTP POST endpoints that can be invoked with custom input.

manage_knowledge_base_job

Manage Knowledge Base Job

Trigger a refresh job for a knowledge base, list existing jobs, or check the status of a specific job. Jobs ingest and process data from connected data sources into the knowledge base.

list_assistants

List Assistants

List all assistants in your Griptape Cloud organization. Returns paginated results with assistant details including their connected knowledge bases, rulesets, tools, and structures.

list_knowledge_bases

List Knowledge Bases

List all knowledge bases in your Griptape Cloud organization. Knowledge Bases are collections of Data Sources that provide RAG capabilities for your AI applications.

run_assistant

Run Assistant

Create and manage runs against a Griptape Cloud assistant. Start a new run with an input prompt, optionally within a thread for conversation continuity. Can also retrieve run status, list runs, or cancel a running execution.

list_data_connectors

List Data Connectors

List all data connectors (data sources) in your Griptape Cloud organization. Data connectors bring external data into Griptape Cloud from sources like web pages, S3, Google Drive, Confluence, and more.

query_retriever

Query Retriever

Query a Griptape Cloud Retriever for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) results. Retrievers support queries across multiple Knowledge Bases with reranking, providing a unified search interface over your data.

manage_assistant

Manage Assistant

Create, update, or delete an Assistant in Griptape Cloud. Assistants are chat applications that can be connected to knowledge bases, rulesets, tools, and structures. Use this to configure and manage the lifecycle of your assistants.

manage_thread

Manage Thread

Create, update, retrieve, list, or delete conversation threads in Griptape Cloud. Threads maintain conversation state and context for Assistants and Structures, enabling multi-turn interactions.

run_structure

Run Structure

Create, monitor, and manage structure runs on Griptape Cloud. Structures are custom Python components—pipelines, workflows, or agents—deployed and executed remotely. Use this to trigger new runs, check their status and output, list historical runs, retrieve logs, or cancel active executions.

list_griptape_tools

List Griptape Tools

List all tools available in your Griptape Cloud organization. Tools extend LLM capabilities by providing access to third-party services, APIs, search, calculators, RAG, and more.

manage_knowledge_base

Manage Knowledge Base

Create, retrieve, update, or delete Griptape Cloud knowledge bases. Creation and updates support managed vector knowledge bases. Use list_knowledge_bases to discover existing IDs. Upload documents with manage_bucket, supply their asset paths, and run manage_knowledge_base_job to ingest them.

get_resource

Get Resource

Read details of a Griptape Cloud structure, retriever, data source, or tool. Discover resource IDs with list_structures, list_retrievers, list_data_connectors, or list_griptape_tools. Retriever details include component IDs and query input schemas; tool details include activity input schemas.

manage_data_job

Manage Data Job

Refresh an existing Griptape Cloud data source, read or list ingestion jobs, or request cancellation. Call list_data_connectors to discover a data source, then create a job to refresh it before ingesting its documents into a knowledge base.

Connect Griptape to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Griptape in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Griptape MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Griptape tools.

Run Griptape through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Griptape and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Griptape tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
