Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| get_annotationsA | Retrieve annotation pins from the .feedback/ directory. Filter by page URL, LWC component name, or status. Use this to understand what feedback exists before making changes. |
| search_annotationsA | Full-text search across all annotation comments, selectors, component names, and tags. |
| get_feedback_summaryA | Get a high-level rollup of all open feedback: counts by status, page, and component. Use this to plan what to address first. |
| get_component_feedbackA | Get all feedback pins targeting a specific LWC component, with a plain-language summary ready for implementation. Returns element selectors, comments, and thread history. |
| resolve_annotationA | Mark an annotation as resolved after addressing the feedback. Optionally add a resolution comment explaining what was changed. |
| add_agent_replyB | Add a reply to an annotation thread (e.g. to ask a clarifying question or note a finding). |
| get_reply_candidatesA | Used by /pincushion-replies. Returns pins where Pincushion AI should respond, with each candidate tagged by trigger reason. Two triggers: (a) "mention" — the latest thread message contains @pincushion AND was authored by a human; (b) "reply-on-bot-pin" — the pin was originally authored by Pincushion AI and the latest message is from a human. Skips resolved/archived pins and any pin where the latest message is already bot-authored (idempotency). Newest-first ordering so the slash command can pace replies. |
| add_bot_replyA | Post a Pincushion AI reply to a pin's thread. Hardcodes author="Pincushion AI" and authorEmail="pincushion-bot@pincushion.io" so the Chrome extension applies bot styling. ONLY call from the /pincushion-replies flow — never as a generic reply. Refuses to post if the latest thread message is already bot-authored (defense-in-depth idempotency). |
| get_pending_critiquesA | Used by /critique-latest-deploy. Lists pending critique requests queued by the deploy-hook for the current license. Returns request id + page URLs + deploy hash. Newest-first. Free on all plans (the gating happened at enqueue time on the deploy-hook side: only Pro/Team licenses produce queue entries). |
| complete_critique_requestA | Mark a critique_queue request as completed after the critic subagent has run on its page URLs. Pass the request id (from get_pending_critiques) and the total pin_count produced. The server scopes the update to your license — you cannot complete another tenant's request even if you know the id. |
| create_critique_pinA | Create a pin authored by Pincushion AI. ONLY call this from the pincushion-critic subagent or the /critique-latest-deploy flow — never from a regular user prompt, since the bot voice is reserved for AI-driven UI/copy/a11y feedback. Each call should produce one tasteful, high-signal pin (max 3 per page in a critique run). The body must be concrete and actionable: name the specific element + the specific problem + the suggested fix in <40 words. Forbidden: layout philosophy, business-model commentary, generic "consider improving hierarchy" advice. Always read the project's critique context ( |
| fix_and_resolveA | Resolve a pin after applying a code fix. Transitions the pin directly to "resolved" status so it disappears from the stakeholder view. No thread comment is added — the commit is the record of the fix. Pass commitSha (from |
| get_time_to_fix_metricsA | Compute median + p25/p75 time-to-fix from resolved pins. Returns sample size + threshold flag so callers can honestly hide the metric when the dataset is too small (< 5 resolved pins). This is the marketing proof point that distinguishes Pincushion from "manage feedback" tools — agent-native means fast. |
| record_pin_verificationA | Record the outcome of Pincushion AI's post-deploy verification on a resolved pin. Called by the critic subagent after running auto-critique on a fresh deploy. Lets stakeholders see "Pincushion AI verified this fix" (or regressed/inconclusive) directly on the pin in the dashboard, closing the "did my feedback actually ship correctly?" loop. |
| link_pin_deployA | Link a deploy URL to a resolved pin. Typically called by the deploy-hook edge function once a deploy that includes the pin's fix goes live. Stakeholders see the deploy URL on the resolved pin in the dashboard. Re-runs overwrite the previous deploy URL (latest deploy wins). |
| get_setup_instructionsA | Get instructions for setting up and connecting the PinCushion browser extension to this MCP server. Includes configuration examples for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code, Windsurf, and other agents. |
| get_project_contextA | Read-only lookup of a project's context (name, URLs, brand context, autoCritique flag, traceability settings). Use this whenever you only need to inspect — never mutates, never touches the network. The Pincushion AI critic subagent calls this before generating any pin, since |
| configure_projectA | Register a Pincushion project and associate it with your app's URLs. Once registered, anyone visiting those URLs with the Pincushion extension installed will automatically see the pin UI — no meta tag or manual setup needed. Pass both your local dev URL and your live/staging URL so the extension activates in all environments. Optional traceability knobs (commitTrailers, attributionComments, recordCommitSha) control how implemented pins are recorded in git and source — see each property's description. NOTE for read-only use cases: if you only need to look up brand context, URLs, or other project metadata, call |
| update_critique_contextA | Lightweight write-only path for the layered critique-context system. Use this from /setup and /refresh-brand after the dev agent has gathered repo signals (README, theme tokens, sample copy, competitor URLs, recent resolved pins) and compiled them into a critique brief. Unlike |
| get_actionable_pinsA | Get all pins waiting for developer attention. Returns three categories: (1) "auto-agent" — pins explicitly sent to the agent via "Send to Agent" or YOLO mode; (2) "follow-up" — previously implemented pins with new user comments; (3) "review" — open reviewer comments that a developer has not yet picked up (the standard team collaboration queue). Use this as your starting point for both auto-agent workflows and manual review sessions. |
| claim_pinA | Claim an actionable pin before starting work on it. Transitions the pin from "pending_implementation" to "implementing" so other agents know it is being worked on. Call this before making changes, then call fix_and_resolve when done. |
| approve_pinA | Mark a pin as approved for implementation. Only approved pins should be implemented by agents. This transitions the pin from "open" to "approved" status. |
| assign_pin_to_agentA | Assign a pin directly to your local coding agent. Promotes the pin to "ready" (if not already), marks it as pending_implementation, and drops a trigger file in .feedback/.agent-queue/ that agent-loop.mjs picks up and dispatches to Cursor / Claude Code / Codex. This is the first-class "assign to agent" action — turns a pin into agent work in one call. Workflow: assign_pin_to_agent → (agent-loop dispatches) → fix_and_resolve. |
| implement_approved_pinsA | CALL THIS FIRST when approved pins exist. Returns all stakeholder-approved pins grouped into implementation packets by page URL, each containing aggregated CSS selectors, full comment threads, and a suggested git branch name. One packet = one branch / one PR. Use the selectors to grep the source code, read the thread to understand what the stakeholder wants, then implement the fix. Workflow: implement_approved_pins → claim_pin → code change → fix_and_resolve. The result exposes both |
| get_implementation_packetA | Get a single implementation packet for one page URL. Useful when you want to batch-fix one page at a time. Returns the same shape as a single entry in implement_approved_pins.packets — pins, aggregated selectors, suggested branch, traceability config. Matches by exact URL or partial substring. |
| get_selected_pinsA | Get pins that the developer has selected for implementation from the dashboard or PINS.md checkboxes. Returns the selected pin IDs with full context (element, thread, deep link). Use this to know which pins the developer wants you to work on next. |
| add_memberA | Add a collaborator to a PinCushion project. Developers consume a paid seat and can implement pins. Commenters are free and unlimited. Returns an upgrade prompt if the seat limit is reached. |
| list_membersA | List all members of a PinCushion project with their roles, plus seat usage info. |
| remove_memberA | Remove a collaborator from a PinCushion project. Frees up the seat if they were an editor. |
| create_invite_linkA | Generate a Figma-style shareable invite URL for a project. The recipient opens it, enters their name + email, and joins as the specified role. Returns the share URL plus expiry. Owners can mint Editor and Commenter links; Editors can mint Commenter links only. Editor links consume a paid seat on redemption. |
| create_share_reportA | Mint a public read-only crit report link (pincushion.io/r/) for a project: numbered pins with threads, screenshots, status, and the branch/PR/deploy/AI-verification trail. Anyone with the link can view it — no extension, no account, nothing to install. Free on every plan. Perfect for handing a design crit to a founder/client, or showing stakeholders what shipped. Optionally scope to a single page URL. Links never expire unless expiresInDays is set; viewers see live pin status. |
| upload_page_snapshotA | Upload a full-page screenshot that turns the public share report into an annotated page: viewers see the real page with numbered pin markers at true positions and click-to-open thread bubbles. Capture the page yourself (kill animations, scroll to force lazy loads, full-page shot, JPEG/WebP ≤5MB), resolve each open pin's element.selector to document-pixel coordinates IN THAT CAPTURE, and pass them as pinPositions. Owner/editor only. One snapshot per (project, page) — re-upload replaces it. pageUrl must match the pins' page_url verbatim. |
| configure_collaboration_integrationA | Connect a Pincushion project to Slack or Microsoft Teams using an incoming webhook. Low-noise defaults mirror Figma-style subscriptions: notify on pins marked ready, @mentions, and follow-up comments on work already being handled. Raw new-pin and resolved updates are opt-in. |
| create_slack_install_linkA | Generate an Add-to-Slack OAuth URL pre-bound to a project. Most users should prefer the public storefront URL (also returned, https://pincushion.io/install/slack) — since May 2026, that auto-links to a Pincushion license when the installer's Slack email matches, and channels are subscribed afterward via /pincushion subscribe inside Slack. Use this agent-flow URL only when you want the install to attach to one specific project up front. |
| list_collaboration_integrationsA | List Slack and Microsoft Teams webhook subscriptions for a Pincushion project. Webhook URLs are masked. |
| claim_pending_slack_installA | LEGACY FALLBACK. Since May 2026, Slack installs auto-link to a Pincushion license when the installer's Slack email matches, and channels are subscribed via /pincushion subscribe inside Slack — no claim token needed. This tool only applies when the installer's Slack email did NOT match an active Pincushion license at install time (the user sees a claim_token on the post-install page in that case). Pass claimToken (the on-page token, valid 7 days) + projectId to attach the webhook. Calling with no claimToken returns the new flow instructions instead of an error. |
| remove_collaboration_integrationB | Remove a Slack or Microsoft Teams webhook subscription from a Pincushion project. |
| preview_collaboration_notificationA | Preview the Slack/Teams notification shape and recommended event routing before connecting a real webhook. |
| set_slack_preferencesA | Read or update the caller's Slack DM preferences. Resolves the user via license_key → email, then applies the change across every Slack workspace the email is linked to. Call with no args to see current state. Call with |
