Integration

Podio integration

Podio is a collaboration and work management platform built on workspaces and custom apps. List organizations with their spaces and read one organization or space, list and read apps and their fields, create, read, update, filter, count and delete app items and read their field values and revision history, create, update (including marking complete) and delete tasks, comment on items and status messages, post status messages, list space files and read file details, read the space activity stream and the saved views of an app, and manage webhooks on apps and spaces (create, verify, list, delete). Not exposed: app, space and organization administration, file uploads, contacts, conversations and search. Authentication is OAuth2 with a Podio API key (client ID and secret); access tokens last 8 hours and are renewed with the refresh token.

Ask it in chat

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Podio.Built from the 37 Podio tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with Podio

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Space, 6 operations

create_statusCreate statusPOSTPosts a status message (a short text shared with the members) on a space, optionally with a link.
get_spaceGet spaceGETReturns one space (workspace): name, URL, privacy, role and rights of the active user, and who created it.
get_space_streamGet space streamGETReturns the activity stream of a space: recent items, status messages, tasks and files with their comments and activity, 10 by default.
list_organization_spacesList organization spacesGETLists all the spaces (workspaces) of an organization.
list_space_appsList space appsGETLists the visible apps of a space, sorted by custom order or name, with their name, item name and status.
list_space_filesList space filesGETLists the files of a space with their size, type and the object they are attached to; filterable by type, attachment and date, 20 per page by default.

Task, 6 operations

create_taskCreate taskPOSTCreates a task with text, optional description, due date, responsible users, labels, privacy and an optional reference (ref_type and ref_id).
create_task_with_referenceCreate task with referencePOSTCreates a task attached to an object: an item, status, app, space or conversation. Same fields as create_task.
delete_taskDelete taskDELETEDeletes a task.
get_taskGet taskGETReturns a task: text, description, status, due date, responsible user, reference, labels, files and comments.
list_tasksList tasksGETLists tasks matching filters (responsible user, completed, due or created dates, org, space, reference, label), sorted and optionally grouped.
update_taskUpdate taskPUTUpdates a task: text, description, due date and time, responsible user, privacy, reference, labels, or completed. Fields left out stay unchanged.

App, 5 operations

create_itemCreate itemPOSTAdds an item to an app with values per field (keyed by field id or external id), an optional external id and tags. Answers the new item id and title.
get_appGet appGETReturns an app definition (latest revision): its configuration and its fields with ids, types, labels and settings. Use the field ids to build item values.
get_viewGet viewGETReturns the definition of a view (sort order, filters, field settings, grouping): a saved view id, a standard view, or last for the last view used.
list_appsList appsGETLists the apps of the active user, best scored first, optionally filtered by a search text. Returns 4 apps unless limit is set.
list_viewsList viewsGETLists the saved views of an app, with the number of items matching each view.

Item, 4 operations

delete_itemDelete itemDELETEDeletes an item and removes it from all views. The item can no longer be retrieved.
get_itemGet itemGETReturns an item with its app, field values, revisions, comments, files, tags and references.

update_itemUpdate itemPUTUpdates an item: only the fields sent change, and an empty list clears a field. With revision set, answers HTTP 409 if the item changed since that revision.

Hook, 3 operations

create_hookCreate hookPOSTCreates a webhook that calls a URL when an event happens on an app, an app field or a space. The hook stays inactive until verified.

Count, 1 operation

get_item_countGet item countGETReturns the number of items of an app, or of those matching a saved view.

Status, 1 operation

Use Podio from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Podio in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Podio operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect Podio

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect Podio once
Add your Podio connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
