Available tools

Every tool ships MCP tool annotations and a declared outputSchema, so a client can tell read tools from destructive ones before calling them.

Tool	Description	Access	Destructive	Idempotent
frappe_ping	Check connectivity and credentials	read-only	no	yes
frappe_get_doc	Retrieve a single document by doctype + name	read-only	no	yes
frappe_search_docs	Search/list documents with filters	read-only	no	yes
frappe_create_doc	Create a new document	write	no	no
frappe_update_doc	Update an existing document	write	yes	yes
frappe_delete_doc	Delete a document — irreversible	write	yes	no
frappe_run_method	Call a whitelisted server-side method	write	yes	no

frappe_run_method is marked destructive because its effect is determined entirely by the method you name.

Environment variable	Required	Description
FRAPPE_URL	Yes	Base URL of your Frappe site (e.g. https://erp.example.com)
FRAPPE_API_KEY	Yes	Frappe API key
