The Tarkle MCP server offers 40 tools. An AI assistant calls them to list workspaces, add files, create public share links, run file requests, manage brand pages, contacts and client portal access, team folders and workspace members. The tables below group the tools by area. Each row gives the tool name, what it does, its main inputs, whether it asks for confirmation first, and the role a person needs.
Before a tool can run, the assistant connects to the server. Connect an AI assistant has the setup for each client, and API keys explains how a key is made and copied. ChatGPT, Claude and Grok connect with browser sign-in and need no key.
How the tools check access
Every tool runs as the person who made the key, and it checks that person’s access to the workspace on each call. A key set to All workspaces reaches every workspace that person can open. A key set to Only selected workspaces reaches only the workspaces chosen when it was made. A call to any other workspace answers Workspace not found. A key limited to selected workspaces cannot create a workspace.
A key has full read and write access to the workspaces it reaches. Rename and Delete are in the key’s menu in Settings, API. Only the organization’s owner and admins can manage keys.
A key marked Legacy was made before API keys had full access. It keeps its old, limited permissions and does not connect to the MCP server, so create a new key for it.
The Role column uses the workspace roles Owner, Admin, Member and Viewer. Any member includes a Viewer, but a Viewer cannot upload, share or create file requests.
Confirmation
Tools marked Yes can make something public, send an email, change a person’s access or create a workspace. On the first call the tool changes nothing. It describes the action and returns a confirmation code. The assistant shows that description to the person, and after they approve it, calls the same tool again with the same inputs and the code. A code works only for those exact inputs, and only for 10 to 20 minutes. Gated tools take confirmationCode as an optional input for that second call.
Two tools ask only for some calls. tarkle_set_portal_access asks only when enabled is true. tarkle_update_brand asks only when it publishes a brand page, which is when access is public or isDraft is false.
Names of files, file requests and brands are written by other people. The server marks them as data, and an assistant should not follow instructions found in them. Authorization and security covers this.

Not available through MCP
The 40 tools above are the whole set. Delete a workspace, edit the text of a file, or save a new version of a file are not among them. These tasks are also not available through the MCP server, and the API does them instead:
- Archive, restore and delete a brand page. Deleting a brand in the Brand API archives it and needs
confirm_deleteset to true, and an archived brand can be restored withPOST /archived-brands/{id}/restore. See Create, delete and restore brands. - Delete a file or folder, or rename and move one.
DELETE /api/v1/files/{id}moves a file or folder to the bin, andPATCH /api/v1/files/{id}renames or moves it. See Files. - Purchases and billing. No key carries the purchase permission.
