hey team not sure if this is the right spot for this but I’ve got some questions about getting the MCP server to provide links to the data held in Dovetail
so I’ve been working on a couple of LLM tools for my team, one of which is a research planner, and I’m currently working to integrate the dovetail MCP in as a check-step where it can pull up research that looks like it might address the incoming research questions. The problem is, when I try to get claude to provide URLs to link to the source data in dovetail, it uses what I assume are dovetail-internal ID based URLs that
don’t link into the correct workspace, and
don’t actually return data (I get a “missing” data error)
ultimately, what I’d like is for the MCP to be able to return a summary of a data object that matches whatever the initial search was about + a link to the data so that the user can easily verify whether it checks the box
Very cool use case for the MCP server! Right now, our MCP server leverages what we expose in our public API and uses that internally, so it's not able to generate the URL for you. I can see how that would be super useful for this use case though, so we'll take this on board as something to look at!
got it, that’s what I figured from the behavior I was seeing — if you or the the team ever wants to chat about how we’re using MCPs/LLMs over here as you think about these sorts of things, give me a shout. we’ve got a pretty unique attitude to AI in general I think 😅
