Available tools

Once your client is connected, your agent can call the WeWeb tools below. You don't need to memorize them. Describe your goal in plain language and the agent picks the right tools.

What are MCP tools?

An MCP server exposes tools: discrete actions the agent can run, such as creating a page, fetching table view data, or editing a workflow. You do not need to call these tools yourself. Describe what you want in plain language and the agent picks the right ones.

Once connected, your client lists the WeWeb tools available in the session. Many clients let you control how those tools are used, for example whether the agent can run a tool automatically or must ask for your approval first.

Tool permissions in Claude Desktop

This screenshot is from Claude Desktop, but other clients often offer similar controls in their own settings.

In Claude Desktop, open Settings → Connectors, then open your WeWeb connector. Under Tool permissions, choose for each tool or group of tools whether Claude can run it automatically, needs your approval, or is blocked.

Tools by area

INFO

Backend tools (tables, table views, auth, environment variables, backend workflows, integration connections, storage) only do something once the WeWeb Backend module is installed on the project. The agent checks with getWeWebBackendStatus and can give you an install link with installWeWebBackendUrl.
