Use Smartsheet from your AI

Search and browse workspaces, read and update sheets, rows, columns, reports, discussions and automated workflows through Smartsheet's official MCP server. Connect with a Smartsheet API access token (Business, Enterprise or Advanced Work Management plan).

Enable Smartsheet in ArletSmartsheet official docs

Use Smartsheet's official MCP server from the AI services you already use, through Arlet. Set a Smartsheet API access token and the connection is ready.

From searching workspaces and reading sheets to adding and updating rows, reading reports, replying to discussions and reviewing automated workflows, your AI can do it all. What it can read and write matches the Smartsheet permissions of the user who issued the token. Business, Enterprise and Advanced Work Management plans are covered, and the connection targets accounts in the US region (mcp.smartsheet.com).
