# Your business knowledge, in the tools you already think in.

The Calypso MCP server gives Cursor, Claude Desktop, and any MCP client the same agents and knowledge your Smart Boards run on. Ask, search, and upload without leaving the editor.

**What you can do **

## The same agent, the same knowledge, where the work already is.

### **calypso-agent**

Ask a board’s agent from Cursor, Claude Desktop, or any MCP client, and get the grounded answer with its sources.

### **calypso-search**

Retrieval only: the chunks and sources an answer would cite, without a synthesized reply. For when the client does its own reasoning.

### **calypso-list-buckets and calypso-get-file**

See which knowledge each board has, and pull a file back. Upload files and folders into a bucket from the same client.

**How it fits **

## From your Smart Board to MCP, in three steps.

Nothing to rebuild. The board’s context, behaviour, and guardrails apply here exactly as they do on WhatsApp.

1. 01 ### **Add the server to your client**

   One JSON block in Cursor or Claude Desktop, run with npx. Restart the client and the Calypso tools appear.
2. 02 ### **Point it at your workspace**

   Your API key scopes discovery to your team’s agents and buckets — the same boards, the same knowledge.
3. 03 ### **Ask, search, upload**

   Write a spec that cites your catalog, draft a reply from the return policy, or drop a folder of PDFs into a board’s bucket.

**Start today**

## **Bring Calypso into your editor.**

One config block, and your assistant answers from your business instead of the internet.
