# List MCP Tools

`GET /v4/organizations/{organizationId}/mcpTools`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://cloudapi.cloud.couchbase.com`
- URL: `https://cloudapi.cloud.couchbase.com/v4/organizations/{organizationId}/mcpTools`
- Auth: HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/couchbase/apis/couchbase-capella-management-api/docs/v4/organizations/:organizationId/mcpTools/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Lists the tools an MCP server can serve, grouped by tool group.

The catalog is global: it is the same for every organization and cluster. A tool that needs a service the cluster does not run returns an error when it is called.
A read-only MCP server loads the tools whose `access` is `read` or `readWrite`, and a `readWrite` tool there rejects statements that modify data.

In order to access this endpoint, the provided API key must have at least one of the following roles:
- Organization Owner
- Project Creator
- Organization Member
- Cluster Owner

## Response `200`

Successfully listed the MCP tools.

- ListMcpToolsResponse
  - `data` McpToolGroup[], required: The tools catalog, grouped by tool group, in display order.
    - `id` string, required: The ID of the tool group.
    - `name` string, required: The display name of the tool group.
    - `tools` McpTool[], required: The tools in the group, in display order.
      - `id` string, required: The ID of the tool.
      - `name` string, required: The display name of the tool.
      - `description` string: What the tool does.
      - `access` 'read' | 'write' | 'readWrite', required: Whether the tool only reads data (`read`), can modify it (`write`), or can do both (`readWrite`). A read-only MCP server loads the `read` and `readWrite` tools, never the `write` ones, and a `readWrite` tool there rejects statements that modify data.
