Search across your team's knowledge and interact with connected providers through the Lightfast MCP tools.
Tools
Three MCP tools are available:
| Tool | Purpose | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
lightfast_search |
Semantic search across all indexed entities | Finding related errors, PRs, issues, context |
lightfast_proxy_search |
Discover connections, resources, and actions | First call -- learn what's connected and available |
lightfast_proxy_call |
Execute a provider API action | Fetch specific data from a connected provider |
Workflow
Step 1: Discover what's available
Always call lightfast_proxy_search first if you don't know what connections exist. It returns:
- Connected providers and their connection IDs
- Resources (repos, projects, teams) with pre-computed params you can spread directly into
lightfast_proxy_call - Available actions with their required params
Step 2: Search or act
Search -- use lightfast_search for cross-provider semantic queries:
- Find errors related to a code change
- Find PRs that touched a specific area
- Find Linear issues about a feature
Act -- use lightfast_proxy_call to execute specific provider actions:
- Pass the
actionstring (e.g.github.list-pull-requests) andparamsfrom the proxy_search response - If multiple connections exist for the same provider, pass
connection: "conn_<id>"
Step 3: Correlate
Combine search results with proxy calls to build context. For example:
- Search for errors mentioning a function name
- Proxy call to get the Sentry issue details
- Proxy call to get the related PR from GitHub
