The example business is Halverson Cycle & Repair, a bike shop with a repair workshop in Portland, Oregon. The reply is the one the tool really gives.

Use it when

A person should see results rather than read them: a report, a comparison, a list to check.

  • For a page kept under a name and updated over time, use view_save.

What it does

Draw numbers, charts, bars, tables, lists and text on one page and get a one-time link to it, to send to a person: the first browser that opens it keeps it for an hour, and an unopened link expires after 7 days. Conecto keeps no dashboards of its own; this is how a person sees what you found, from any area or anywhere else. blocks is a list, drawn top to bottom. Each block is one of: {"type": "heading", "text"}; {"type": "text", "text"} (blank lines make paragraphs); {"type": "metrics", "items": [{"label", "value", "format", "currency", "change" (percent), "better": "up"|"down", "note", "tone": "good"|"warn"|"bad"}]} (up to 8 numbers in a row); {"type": "chart", "title", "kind": "line"|"bar", "labels": [...], "series": [{"name", "values": [...]}], "format", "currency"} (up to 4 series of up to 400 points); {"type": "bars", "title", "label_header", "value_header", "items": [{"label", "value", "detail", "link", "country" (a two-letter code: shows the flag, and the name when label is left out)}], "format", "currency"} (ranked rows with a bar each, up to 50); {"type": "table", "title", "columns": [{"label", "format", "currency"}], "rows": [[...], ...]} (up to 12 columns and 500 rows); {"type": "list", "title", "items": [{"title", "text", "meta", "link"}]} (up to 100); {"type": "divider"}. format is number, percent (49 means 49%), currency (with currency, like "EUR"), seconds (a length of time), milliseconds or text. bars, table, list and metrics take "width": "half" to sit beside the next half block.

What comes back

view: its title, subtitle and how many blocks; link: the one-time link, opens (once), expires_at, and a note on how it opens. Every reply also carries cost_usd and balance_usd.

The call

Over MCP, call view_show on https://api.conecto.chat/mcp/views. Over REST:

Terminal
curl -X POST https://api.conecto.chat/v1/tools/view_show \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CONECTO_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title":"Halverson Cycle & Repair, last week","subtitle":"October 5 to 11, 2026","blocks":[{"type":"metrics","items":[{"label":"Revenue","value":14620,"format":"currency","currency":"USD","change":12.4},{"label":"Orders","value":41},{"label":"Average order","value":357,"format":"currency","currency":"USD"}]},{"type":"chart","title":"Orders a day","kind":"bar","labels":["Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat","Sun"],"series":[{"name":"Orders","values":[4,5,7,6,8,11,0]}]},{"type":"bars","title":"Best sellers","items":[{"label":"Full tune-up","value":14},{"label":"Tabor gravel bike","value":5},{"label":"Willamette 8","value":4}]}]}'

When it refuses

A refused call costs nothing and says what to do next.

CodeWhenWhat to do
invalid_input400A block is not in the form this page lists: an unknown type, a chart with a value count that does not match its labels, a table row with the wrong number of cells, or a page over about 300 KB.Fix the block the message names.
