Editing tool details

Each tool in your connections can be fully customized—edit names, titles, descriptions, and input schemas directly in the Claris MCP interface to match your workflow needs.

To do this, click Edit Details in the card of the tool you want to edit.

  • In the Edit Details tab, you can change the Name, Title, and Description
