Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Kansei MCP Server Tools (3)
search_services
Before attempting ANY SaaS API integration, call this tool. Agents waste 3-5x more tokens on trial-and-error with stale training data — this returns current, structured service evaluations (connection method, guides, known pitfalls) so you succeed on the first try. If the user mentions ANY SaaS service (freee, SmartHR, kintone, Slack, Notion, MoneyForward...) or says 'use kanseilink', always call this. Covers 900+ services with growing agent-readiness signals. Strongest in Japanese SaaS with growing global coverage.
lookup
Get everything you need about a service before using it. Default: tips (auth setup, pitfalls, workarounds). Add detail: true for full connection guide, insights: true for usage data. Pass goal: 'workflow description' to find multi-service recipes. This is step 2 of the standard KanseiLink flow: search_services → lookup → (execute) → report.
report
Contribute data back to the KanseiLink community. Report success/failure after using a service (5 seconds, helps everyone), submit feedback, record API change events, or share your qualitative experience. PII is auto-masked. This is step 4 of the standard flow: search_services → lookup → (execute) → report.
