Tool catalog
PinTool defines 23 MCP tools. The three starting tools above are read-only; the rest are grouped below. What your AI client can see depends on the access you grant, and what it can use also depends on your PinTool plan, shared quotas and available data.

Connection steps
Using PinTool only, research Pinterest keywords for “vegetarian weeknight dinners” in the US. Based on the returned results, suggest three content angles I could genuinely create. State what the results do not prove.
A research call uses the same plan quota as the PinTool website. Empty results are not proof that a topic has no audience. PinTool does not promise search ranking, traffic or automatic invocation by an AI client.
PinTool's remote MCP endpoint is https://pintool.io/api/mcp over Streamable HTTP. It requires a PinTool OAuth connection; it is not a public scraping API. OAuth authorization and protected-resource metadata are served under /.well-known/. The exact client setup and revocation controls are in your account settings.
