Quip FAQs

Question 1

What does Quip MCP Server do?

Accepted Answer

It's a tool that retrieves spreadsheet data from Quip documents and converts it into CSV format for easy use in other applications or scripts.

Question 2

How do I install and run Quip MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

You can install it using `pip install quip-mcp-server` or, ideally, using `uvx quip-mcp-server` with the uv package manager.  Remember to set your Quip API token as an environment variable.

Question 3

Can I select a specific sheet from a Quip document?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the tool allows you to specify a sheet name. If you don't, it will extract the first sheet by default.

Question 4

What are resource URIs and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Resource URIs provide access to the complete CSV content of a spreadsheet. By default, they use the `quip://` protocol, but you can use `--file-protocol` to use `file://` and access local CSV files directly.

Question 5

What do I do if I encounter an error?

Accepted Answer

Ensure your Quip API token is correctly configured. Verify that the thread ID corresponds to a valid Quip spreadsheet, and that the sheet name (if specified) exists. Also consult the documentation for error message explanations and troubleshooting steps.
