Tools & capabilities
Gongio MCP tools 15
list_callsList Gong calls with optional date filtering. Returns minimal call metadata (ID, title, date, duration). Use get_call_summary for details or get_call_transcript for full transcript.get_call_summaryGet an AI-generated summary of a single call including brief overview, key points, topics, action items, and detailed outline. This is the recommended way to understand a call - use get_call_transcript only if you need exact quotes.get_call_transcriptGet the raw transcript for a single call with speaker-attributed text. Only use this when you need exact quotes - prefer get_call_summary for understanding call content. Transcripts are truncated by default (10KB) to prevent context overflow - use maxLength and offset to paginate.list_usersList all Gong users in the organization. Returns name, email, title, and user IDs. Useful when you need a Gong user ID for search_calls filters like primaryUserIds, though for most "find calls by this person" cases you can pass their email directly to primaryUserEmails or participantEmails instead.search_callsSearch Gong calls with rich filters. The primary tool for narrowing down calls before drilling in with get_call_summary or get_call_transcript. Supported filters: - When: fromDateTime, toDateTime (ISO 8601). Always prefer a date range — unbounded queries pull every call in the workspace. - Who hosted: primaryUserIds, primaryUserEmails, excludePrimaryUserIds. - Who participated (host OR attendee OR invitee): participantUserIds, participantEmails, excludeParticipantUserIds, excludeParticipantEmails. - Customer/topic: customerName (CRM account name, email domain, or title substring), titleContains, trackers (see note below). - Metadata: scope (External/Internal), direction, system (Zoom/Meet/…), language (eng/jpn/…), minDuration and maxDuration in seconds. - Output shape: include (array of keyPoints, trackers, highlights, speakers, comments, context, outline, media). Parties + brief + topics are always returned. Behavior: - Auto-paginates up to ~5000 calls. If a user asks for a broad question, guide them to narrow with a date range, scope, minDuration, or customerName first. - trackers filter does case-insensitive substring match on tracker names. Names are workspace-specific — call get_trackers first to see what's configured before guessing. - When the rich output would exceed the output cap, the tool auto-falls back to a compact table showing all IDs/titles. Use get_call_summary on specific IDs to go deeper. - Filters compose with AND logic (primaryUserIds + customerName = hosted by user X on customer Y calls). Usage pattern: narrow with search_calls → drill into specific calls with get_call_summary (AI summary) or get_call_transcript (exact quotes).search_calls_by_accountFind calls involving a specific account/company by matching email domains of external participants. The Gong API does not natively support filtering by account name — this tool fetches calls in the date range and post-filters on parties[].emailAddress. Auto-paginates up to maxCalls. For external tech-stack joins (e.g., "all calls with prospects on Klaviyo"), resolve domains upstream and pass them here.search_calls_by_opportunityFind calls linked to specific CRM Opportunities by ID or name substring. Requires Gong-CRM integration (Salesforce/HubSpot) — calls without CRM linkage will not match. Provide opportunityIds OR opportunityNames (or both).search_transcriptsFree-text keyword search across call transcripts within a bounded date range. Use for ad-hoc searches like "calls mentioning competitor X". For recurring terms, prefer setting up Gong Trackers in the UI and using search_calls + get_call_summary — Trackers are server-side and dramatically cheaper. Date ranges > 30 days require additional narrowing via primaryUserIds or domains. Returns sentence-level matches with speaker attribution and timestamps.get_callGet metadata for a specific Gong call including URL, direction, scope, system, and duration. Faster than get_call_summary when you only need call metadata.get_trackersList keyword tracker definitions configured in a workspace, including every tracked phrase and which side is tracked (company/customer). Call this before using the trackers filter on search_calls so you know what names exist — workspace admins set these up and naming varies (e.g., "Competitors" vs "Competitor Mentions"). Also useful to explain tracker hits that appear in call summaries.get_userGet a specific user profile including name, email, title, phone, and settings. Use to resolve user IDs returned from call data.search_usersSearch and filter users by IDs or creation date. More flexible than list_users for resolving specific user IDs from call data.- +3 more on the listing page
Salesforce Metadata MCP tools 20
sf_create_custom_objectCreates a new Salesforce Custom Object using the Metadata API. The object name must end with '__c'. Use this when a user asks to create a new object, entity, or table in Salesforce.sf_create_custom_fieldCreates a new custom field on an existing Salesforce object. The field API name must end with '__c'. Supports all field types: Text, Number, Picklist, Lookup, etc.sf_add_picklist_valuesAdds new picklist values to an existing Picklist or MultiselectPicklist field without removing existing values. Use when a user wants to add new options to a dropdown.sf_create_approval_processCreates or updates a Salesforce Approval Process via the Metadata API. Define who can submit, approval steps with approvers, entry criteria, and what happens on approval or rejection.sf_create_validation_ruleCreates or updates a Salesforce Validation Rule on any object via the Metadata API. The errorConditionFormula returns TRUE when data is INVALID. Use for data quality enforcement.sf_create_workflow_field_updateCreates a Workflow Field Update action that can be referenced by Approval Processes, Workflow Rules, or Flows. Sets a field to a literal value, formula result, or null.sf_create_formula_fieldCreates a formula field on any Salesforce object. Supports all return types (Text, Number, Currency, Date, DateTime, Checkbox, Percent) and the full Salesforce formula language: IF/AND/OR/NOT, BLANKVALUE, TEXT, VALUE, DATE, DATEVALUE, TODAY, NOW, date functions (MONTH/YEAR/DAY), math (FLOOR/CEILING/MOD), string functions (LEN/LEFT/RIGHT/MID/TRIM/UPPER/LOWER/CONTAINS/BEGINS), record type and picklist functions (ISPICKVAL, ISNULL, ISBLANK), cross-object field references (e.g. Account.Owner.Name), and VLOOKUP. Complex multi-line formulas are fully supported.sf_deploy_metadataDeploys a set of metadata components directly to the org using the Metadata API SOAP deploy operation. Builds a package.xml and deployment zip in memory. Supports validate-only (checkOnly:true) for pre-deployment validation without making changes. Specify runTests to execute test classes during deployment (required for production). Polls until complete or timeout.sf_check_deploy_statusChecks the status of an in-progress or recently completed metadata deployment by async job ID. Returns the status (Pending, InProgress, Succeeded, Failed, Canceled), component successes, failures, and test results. Use with the deploy ID returned from sf_deploy_metadata.sf_retrieve_metadataRetrieves metadata components from the org and returns their actual file contents. Use this to read existing configuration before making changes, to back up metadata, or to check what is really deployed rather than what you think is deployed. Waits for the async retrieve to finish and unpacks the resulting zip, returning each file's path and source. Large files are truncated. Accepts 'components' (array), or 'metadataType'+'componentName' as a single-item shortcut, or a raw 'packageXml' document — provide exactly one form.sf_delete_metadataPermanently deletes one or more metadata components of a given type via the Metadata API's deleteMetadata call — works for CustomObject, CustomField, Flow, GenAiFunction, GenAiPlugin, GenAiPlannerBundle, Bot, ApexClass, and most other metadata types. There was previously no way to remove anything created by this MCP server (sf_deploy_metadata only supports adding/updating components, not destructiveChanges) — diagnostic or abandoned metadata had nowhere to go. Deletes each fullName independently: check the response's deleted/errors lists rather than assuming all all-or-nothing. Some types have dependency order requirements (e.g. delete a Bot's GenAiFunction/GenAiPlugin/GenAiPlannerBundle before the Bot itself, delete CustomField before its parent CustomObject) — Salesforce will reject a delete that still has dependents, naming them in the error.sf_query_recordsExecutes a SOQL query against the org and returns matching records. Provide the full SOQL string in the query param. Use for reading data, checking existing records before creating, or verifying changes. Supports aggregate queries — GROUP BY with COUNT(), SUM(), AVG(), MAX(), MIN(), e.g.: 'SELECT StageName, COUNT(Id), SUM(Amount) FROM Opportunity GROUP BY StageName' Aggregate results come back as regular records with the aggregate expressions as field keys (e.g. "expr0"). Row cap: 'limit' defaults to 200 and is a ceiling, not a hint. If the SOQL carries its own LIMIT the smaller of the two applies, so a LIMIT in the query can tighten the cap but never raise it. When rows are cut off the response sets truncated: true and reports appliedLimit and limitSource, so a capped result is never mistaken for a complete one.- +8 more on the listing page
