Growthbook MCP Tools (3)

growthbook_call_api

Make an authenticated HTTP request to the GrowthBook REST API on the user's behalf. Use method + path (+ optional JSON body) exactly as shown in skill workflows that mention gb-call. Paths typically start with /api/v1/ or /api/v2/. Returns the raw response body on success. IMPORTANT: Before POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE, confirm with the user (summarize method, path, and body) unless they have already explicitly instructed you to perform that mutation. GET requests do not need confirmation.

growthbook_list_skills

List available GrowthBook agent skills (name + description). Use growthbook_read_skill to load the full workflow for a skill before acting. Skills encode how to accomplish GrowthBook tasks well; use growthbook_call_api to execute the REST calls they describe.

growthbook_read_skill

Return the full markdown content of a GrowthBook skill by name (from growthbook_list_skills). Follow the skill's workflow; when it shows `gb-call <METHOD> <PATH> [body]`, use the growthbook_call_api tool with those arguments instead.
