MCP Tools are available on the Team and Enterprise plans. Free plan users can read about them here but cannot activate them. See Plans & Billing →

What are MCP tools?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools are AI-callable functions that extend what your AI can do in chat. Ask Claude to scrape a URL, read a Drive file, check your calendar, or generate a presentation — the right tool activates automatically based on what you ask.

GrooveOS includes 4 built-in MCP tools. Every tool call is team-scoped and logged in your audit trail, so you always have a record of what your AI did and when.

How tools work in chat

You don't activate tools manually. Just ask naturally — GrooveOS figures out which tool to use and calls it automatically. Examples:

"Summarize the content at https://openai.com/research" → scraper activates
"What's in our Q2 roadmap on Drive?" → Drive reader activates
"What meetings do we have this week?" → Calendar activates
"Create a 5-slide pitch deck for our fundraising round" → Deck generator activates

Tool 1: Web Scraper

What it does	Fetches and extracts text from any public URL
In chat	"Summarize [URL]", "What does [URL] say about X?"
Output	Text content, saved to team memory with source URL as provenance tag
Limits	Max 5,000 characters per scrape; respects `robots.txt`

Tool 2: Google Drive Reader

What it does	Reads (and optionally writes) files in your mapped Drive folders
In chat	"Read the fundraising brief from Drive", "Update the roadmap doc"
Auth	Uses your team's Drive OAuth (set up in Drive Sync settings)
Write access	Requires explicit confirmation in chat before any write operation executes

Drive write operations

Drive write operations (creating, editing, or deleting files) are logged in your audit trail and require the user to type confirm in chat before execution. The AI will never write to Drive silently.

Tool 3: Google Calendar

What it does	Reads your team's calendar events
In chat	"What meetings do we have this week?", "When is Alice's next sync?"
Access	Read-only — never creates, modifies, or deletes calendar events
Auth	Uses your team's Google OAuth credentials — no separate setup needed if Drive Sync is connected

Tool 4: Deck Generator

What it does	Generates PowerPoint (.pptx) presentations from a natural-language brief
In chat	"Create a 5-slide deck for our pitch", "Generate a status update presentation"
Output	.pptx file available for download, also saved to team memory
Templates	Professional, minimal, data-focused

Example conversation:

You: Create a 3-slide pitch deck: Problem (teams lose AI context),
     Solution (GrooveOS shared memory), Traction (5 teams, 10k memories)

GrooveOS: Created "pitch-deck-2026-05-07.pptx" (3 slides)
           [Download] — also saved to your team memory

Audit Trail

Every tool call is logged automatically. The audit trail records:

Who triggered it (user ID and display name)
Which tool was called
Timestamp (UTC)
Input parameters (sanitized — no file contents, only metadata)
Whether write access was used (Drive tool only)

Admins can view the full audit trail from Settings → Audit Log in Open WebUI. The log is retained for 90 days on the Team plan and indefinitely on Enterprise.
