Available MCP Tools
When an MCP client connects to Shortcuts Toolbox — see MCP Server Setup — it gets access to the following tools:
list_enabled_shortcuts
List all shortcuts available for execution, with names, folders, and descriptions.
run_enabled_shortcut
Execute a specific shortcut by name, optionally passing input parameters. Returns the shortcut’s output.
list_all_shortcuts
List every shortcut not hidden from AI, optionally filtered by folder.
list_shortcut_folders
List all folders that contain shortcuts.
get_shortcut_details
Get detailed metadata about a shortcut including its actions, dependencies, and AI settings.
get_shortcut_dependency_graph
Return the dependency graph for a shortcut — which shortcuts it calls and which call it.
perform_task
Delegate a complex task to the Shortcuts Toolbox AI, which can orchestrate multiple shortcuts and tools.
create_html_page
Generate and save an HTML page for reports, visualizations, or dashboards.
Only shortcuts that are marked as “enabled” in the Shortcuts Toolbox UI will be visible and executable via MCP. Additionally, any external MCP servers you’ve connected as clients will also have their tools exposed — see MCP Client & Aggregation.
