docs(mcp): document journey read on get and search by thoragudf · Pull Request #1743 · avohq/docs

thoragudf · 2026-09-02T15:13:40Z

What

Documents journey read through the Avo MCP. Journeys shipped as ordinary item types on the intent tools (monorepo: dedicated tools added Jul 30 / Aug 4, released to all workspaces Aug 12, folded into get / search Aug 21, on main since Aug 27). The docs last mention journeys only via trigger context on events.

search — itemType: "journey" added to the type list and maxResults row (pages separately: default 25, cap 100); new Listing journeys section with the returned shape; "List the journeys on a branch" example; common errors for content filters / query on enumerate-only types and for a branch name passed as branch.
get — journey added to the type family list, type / id / name rows, and the Returns list; new Journey graph section with a rendered example and how to read it (every screen once, loop back-edges, IDs as handles, full property paths, blank-field omission, empty-journey state); "Walk a journey" example; common errors for missing id and unknown journey ID. Cross-link from Trigger context on events.
Overview — journey in the Understand row, a journey example prompt, an "Other example flows" bullet, and the journey paging limit.
Journeys guide — one sentence pointing agents at listing and walking journeys.

Deliberately out of scope

Gateways and the checkpoint lens on get / search are still behind the Gateways workspace flag; not documented here.
No journey writes: save_items has no journey type, and the Journey graph section says so.

Verified against

Wording and rendered shapes checked against the shipped renderer (McpJourneyFormat.res), the get / search tool descriptions, and the search handler's rejection messages on main as of 2026-09-02.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added Avo MCP documentation for searching and retrieving journeys.
- Documented paginated journey listings by branch, including relevant search limits.
- Added journey retrieval details, including screen-by-screen graphs, connected events, and property conditions.
- Documented journey-specific parameters, response formats, examples, lookup rules, and validation guidance.

Journeys are readable through the Avo MCP as ordinary item types on the intent tools: search(itemType:"journey") lists a branch's journeys and get(type:"journey", id) walks one as a graph. Add both to the tools reference (params, return shapes, examples, errors), a Journey graph section, the overview capability/limits/prompts, and a pointer from the journeys guide.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The MCP documentation now covers journey search and retrieval. It describes paginated branch listings and journey graphs with screens, triggers, events, conditions, destinations, traversal behavior, examples, and validation errors.

Changes

Journey MCP documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Journey capability overview `pages/data-design/avo-tracking-plan/journeys.mdx`, `pages/reference/avo-mcp/overview.mdx`	The documentation introduces journey search and retrieval, screen details, connected events, property conditions, and pagination.
Journey search documentation `pages/reference/avo-mcp/tools.mdx`	The `search` reference documents branch-scoped journey listings, pagination, result fields, examples, and validation behavior.
Journey graph retrieval `pages/reference/avo-mcp/tools.mdx`	The `get` reference adds journey type support, ID-only lookup, graph response fields, traversal behavior, examples, and lookup errors.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ac7ed

This documentation-only change adds guidance for reading and searching journeys without changing product behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Poem

A rabbit maps each journey screen,
With triggers bright and pathways clean.
Search hops through pages, twenty-five,
Get reveals graphs that come alive.
Conditions guide each tiny turn,
While docs show all the ways to learn.

A journey added on a branch exists only there, so the follow-up get must pass the same branchId the listing used. Addresses CodeRabbit review. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CKx1Z9uGVXv7qoDeJTctjf
