Available Tools
The PingRep MCP server exposes four tools. Three are public (no API key needed) and one requires authentication. AI clients can only access profiles where is_public and mcp_discoverable are both enabled.
get_profile
Look up a professional profile by ID or slug. Returns the full public profile including name, title, company, bio, and social links.
Auth: Public
Parameters
profileIdstringRequiredProfile ID (UUID) or URL slug to look up.
ask_ai_rep
Ask an AI Representative a question about the profile owner. The AI Rep responds based on the professional's identity, experience, and expertise.
Auth: Public
Parameters
profileIdstringRequiredProfile ID or slug of the person whose AI Rep you want to ask.
questionstringRequiredYour question for the AI Representative. Maximum 500 characters.
Question Length
Questions are limited to 500 characters. Keep them focused for the best responses. The AI Rep draws on the profile owner's professional context to generate relevant answers.
search_profiles
Search the PingRep professional directory. Filter by keyword, role, location, or any combination.
Auth: Public
Parameters
querystringOptionalFree-text search query.
rolestringOptionalFilter by professional role or title.
locationstringOptionalFilter by geographic location.
Search Tips
You can combine all three parameters for precise results. Omit parameters you do not need. For example, searching with only location: "Dubai" returns all discoverable professionals in Dubai regardless of role.
save_contact
Save a contact to your PingRep contact list. This is the only tool that requires authentication.
Auth: API Key Required
Parameters
profileIdstringRequiredProfile ID of the person to save as a contact.
namestringRequiredName of the contact.
emailstringRequiredEmail address of the contact.
phonestringOptionalPhone number of the contact.
notesstringOptionalNotes about this contact. Maximum 500 characters.
Authentication Required
The save_contact tool only works when the MCP server is configured with a valid KEYNODECARD_API_KEY. Without it, the tool will return an authentication error.
Privacy and Discoverability
MCP clients can only interact with profiles that have both settings enabled:
- is_public: The profile is visible to anyone
- mcp_discoverable: The profile owner has opted in to AI tool discovery
Profile owners control these settings from their PingRep dashboard. If a profile is not discoverable, MCP tools will not return it in search results or allow AI Rep queries.
