Programmatically get current user, get user. Covers 32 operations with bearer authentication.
Get started with Quip Automation API in minutes using your preferred integration method.
# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
"jentic": {
"url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
"auth": "oauth"
}
}
# Then ask your agent:
"get current user"
# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.What an agent can do with Quip Automation API API.
Get current user
Update user
Access Quip Automation API communications resources via REST API
Patterns agents use Quip Automation API API for, with concrete tasks.
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to current user, I want to user, Search for users, Find all contacts
Not supported: Does not handle payments, crm, or developer tools — use for communications only.
The Quip Automation API allows you to automate processes and integrate Quip with other products and services. You can use the API to create, read, update, and delete documents, spreadsheets, folders, and messages in Quip. The API exposes 32 endpoints secured with bearer authentication.
★ Communications Operations
Use the Quip Automation API to perform communications operations programmatically. The API provides 32 endpoints covering core functionality including get current user, get user, get users.
Call GET /1/users/current to get current user
Automated Authentication Management
Automate authentication operations by combining multiple Quip Automation API endpoints. Agents can get user and then get users in a single workflow.
Call GET /1/users/{id} to get user, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Quip Automation API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle bearer tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'get current user', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials
32 endpoints — the quip automation api allows you to automate processes and integrate quip with other products and services.

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Quip Automation API bearer credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'get current user') and Jentic returns the matching Quip Automation API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Quip Automation API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Specific to using Quip Automation API API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Quip Automation API use?
The Quip Automation API uses a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I get current user with the Quip Automation API?
Yes. Use the GET /1/users/current endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Quip Automation API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I get current user through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'get current user'. Jentic returns the matching Quip Automation API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Quip Automation API have?
The Quip Automation API exposes 32 endpoints covering authentication, blobs, folders operations.
/1/users/current/threads
Get current user threads
/1/threads/{id}
Get thread
