Dovetail MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for connecting AI tools to the Dovetail API.

Note: This is the npm package distribution of the official Dovetail MCP server. The canonical source lives in the Dovetail MCP GitHub repository.

Disclaimer

This package may not always reflect the very latest changes from the upstream repository. As of now, it corresponds to upstream Release 0.3. For the most up-to-date code and releases, please refer to the repository linked above.

Prerequisites

Get a Dovetail API token

  1. In Dovetail, go to Settings → Account → Personal API keys.

  2. Generate a new token and copy it.

  3. Set it in your environment as DOVETAIL_API_TOKEN.

For details, see Dovetail’s MCP server docs: docs.dovetail.com/integrations/mcp-server.

Configuration

Use this configuration style in MCP-compatible clients (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor). It invokes the server via npx and passes your API token via environment variable.

    B3.4/5.0

    Scored across 7 tools

    Disambiguation4/5

    Most tools have distinct purposes, but get_project_data and list_project_data could be confused since both involve project data; descriptions clarify but potential ambiguity remains.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools use consistent snake_case with 'get_' for single items and 'list_' for collections, following a predictable pattern.

    Tool Count5/5

    7 tools is well-scoped for a research platform, covering projects, data, insights, and export without being too few or too many.

    Completeness4/5

    Covers core read operations (list, get, export) but lacks a global search across projects or data; minor gaps that agents can work around.
