Overview
Ask Double and the Double MCP server use a set of tools to read and update your account. Rather than maintain a static list here, the current set is always available on request, including anything added since this article was written.
In Ask Double, just ask. Try:
“Can you give me a list of your read tools vs. write tools?”
"What does the get_file tool do?"
"What loan tools do you have?"
“Can you create a client question?”
“Which reports can you pull for a Sage client?”
Ask Double will tell you what it can do right now. You never need to name a tool; it picks the right one based on what you ask. For a high-level look at what you can accomplish, see What Can You Ask Double?
In Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or another MCP client, the same approach works. Once the Double connector is set up, ask the assistant to list the Double tools available to it, or ask it directly whether it can do something (“can you pull the P&L for a client?”). The assistant will tell you what the connector supports.
Note that a few tools are currently available in Ask Double only; if the assistant says it can’t do something Ask Double can, that’s why.
Read-only vs. write. Each tool either retrieves and summarizes information (read-only) or creates and changes data in your account (write). For example, “pull up the P&L for Q2” uses a read-only tool; “add a footnote on rent expense explaining the increase” uses a write tool. Some write tools depend on the connected user’s role and client access in Double.
