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.
