# MCP tools for declarative pipelines

The Qlik MCP server now includes three additional tools purpose-built for declarative pipeline development:
`qlik_search`, `qlik_get_pipeline_project_details`, and `qlik_search_connection_objects`.

These tools let coding agents such as Claude Code or GitHub Copilot query a live Qlik tenant directly from the
editor:

- `qlik_search` has been extended to return pipeline projects and pipeline connections in addition to existing
  catalog resources.
- `qlik_get_pipeline_project_details` returns a project's binding values.
- `qlik_search_connection_objects` lists the source tables and views available in a given data connection.

With these tools, coding agents can introspect a live Qlik tenant's connection names, table structures, and project
bindings, reducing the risk of pipelines failing on import due to incorrect assumptions.
