Added MCP server tool to find text in a sheet, unify sheet creation, and unify URL attachment

Date: May-26-2026

ADDITION:

We added a Smartsheet MCP Server tool to do a full-text search on a sheet, a tool that unifies sheet creation, and a tool that unifies URL attachment.

Find text in a sheet

The find_in_sheet tool searches for text within a specific Smartsheet sheet. It returns matching cells with row and column IDs, display values, and character offsets for each match.

Sheet creation

We unified the following four tools into a single tool called create_sheet:

  • create_sheet_in_workspace (removed)
  • create_sheet_in_workspace_from_template (removed)
  • create_sheet_in_folder (removed)
  • create_sheet_in_folder_from_template (removed)

The create_sheet tool uses a container_type (folder/workspace) parameter and accepts either a CreateSheet (with columns) or CreateSheetFromTemplate (with from_id) input to cover all the functionality of the four former tools, listed above.

URL attachment

The following 3 tools were unified into a single attach_url tool:

  • attach_url_to_row (removed)
  • attach_url_to_comment (removed)
  • attach_url_to_sheet (removed)

The attach_url tool uses a target_type (sheet/row/comment) parameter and an optional target_id (required for row/comment targets) to cover all the functionality of the three former tools, listed above.
