Learn what your AI assistant can do with Astravue MCP tools.Astravue MCP exposes workspace operations as tools that AI assistants can call.
Each tool performs a specific action in your Astravue workspace such as creating projects, managing tasks, logging time, or retrieving reports.When an AI assistant receives a request, it selects the appropriate tool based on the user's prompt and executes it with the required parameters.All tools require an active authenticated session.
If a tool call fails with 401 Unauthorized, reconnect your AI client to refresh your session.
Some tools perform destructive actions such as deleting tasks, projects, or spaces.
Most AI clients require confirmation before executing these operations. Always review actions before approving them.
