  • Use the get record tool in Knack

Supported Tools

get_records

Get Records

Retrieve records from a Knack object or view with optional filtering, sorting, and pagination. Supports both object-based access (full data access via API key) and view-based access (scoped to a specific page and view). Use filters to narrow results by field values and sorting to control the order.

delete_record

Delete Record

Delete a record from a Knack object or view by its ID. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.

update_record

Update Record

Update an existing record in a Knack object or view. Provide the record ID and the field values to update as key-value pairs using Knack field keys. Only specified fields will be modified; other fields remain unchanged.

upload_file

Upload File

Upload a file or image to a Knack record. This performs a two-step process: first uploads the file asset to Knack, then attaches it to a record by creating or updating the record with the asset ID. The record must have a file or image field to attach the asset to.

get_record

Get Record

Retrieve a single record by its ID from a Knack object or view. Returns all field values for the specified record. Use object-based access for full field access, or view-based access for permission-scoped results.

get_app_metadata

Get App Metadata

Retrieve the full metadata for your Knack application, including all objects (tables), their fields, scenes (pages), and views. Useful for discovering the data structure, field keys, and object keys needed by other tools.

create_record

Create Record

Create a new record in a Knack object or view. Provide field values as key-value pairs using Knack field keys (e.g., `field_1`, `field_2`). Supports both object-based and view-based access.

get_record_file

Download Record File

Prepare a file or image stored in a Knack record for download. Call get_app_metadata to discover object, view, and file field keys.

Connect Knack 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 Knack in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Knack 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 Knack tools.

Run Knack through the Metorial gateway

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

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