List of Modular DS MCP tools

The Modular DS MCP gives your AI assistant a set of tools it uses to look up information and carry out actions on your sites.

You don't call them yourself: the assistant picks the right tool based on what you ask.

This article lists all the available tools, grouped by area.

This is a living document: we'll keep adding tools as the MCP grows.

How to read this list

Each tool shows its type:

Read: only looks up information, changes nothing.
Write: creates or modifies something.
Destructive: deletes something permanently.

Destructive tools, and some sensitive write actions such as turning off Patch & Protect, ask for a two-step confirmation: the assistant shows you what it's going to do and only carries it out once you give the go-ahead.
