May 2026 consolidates six separate MCP search tools into a single entry point, search_objects, which combines free-text search and structured filters in one request.
MCP Server update: simplified search experience
We've released an update to the MCP server that simplifies how search works by consolidating multiple search tools into a single, unified entry point: search_objects.
What changed
The following tools have been merged into search_objects:
search_by_object_name
search_by_entity_type
search_by_description
search_by_creation_time
search_by_modification_time
search_by_module_name
Why we made this change
This update is part of our ongoing effort to simplify the MCP API design and improve how LLM-based clients interact with the platform.
Benefits include:
- Fewer entry points to manage
- Simpler integration logic
- Better support for combining filters in a single query
- Improved reliability for AI-assisted search workflows
For example, clients can now search by both entity_type and module_name within the same request.
Welcome to the new unified tool: search_objects
search_objects supports free-text search across:
- object name
- description
- summary
- synonyms
It also supports structured filters for:
- entity type
- module name
- creation date
- last modification date
