# Create Knowledge Base

> Use the create_knowledge_base MCP tool on the DialNexa remote MCP server.

<span data-api-safety-label="changes-state"><Badge color="yellow" size="sm" shape="pill">Changes state - verify before retry</Badge></span>

Creates a new, empty named knowledge base container for the organization. This is NOT a read-only action. Note: this only creates the container — adding documents/content to it requires a file upload that is not available through this tool; that has to be done from the dashboard.

## Parameters

| Name   | Type     | Required | Description                                                                |
| ------ | -------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `name` | `string` | Yes      | Name for the knowledge base (must be unique within the org, max 150 chars) |

## Before you call

* Connect and initialize the MCP client with OAuth or an API key for the intended workspace.
* Provide the required parameters: `name`.

## Example MCP request

Send `tools/call` after your client completes MCP initialization. Replace placeholder values with IDs and inputs from your workspace. For object and array parameters, follow the nested requirements in the parameter description instead of treating an empty value as complete.

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "create_knowledge_base",
    "arguments": {
      "name": "VALUE"
    }
  }
}
```

The server returns one text content block. Parse `content[0].text` as JSON when the tool succeeds. See [MCP responses and errors](/docs/mcp-tools/errors) for the full envelope and failure behavior.

## Verify the result

Confirm the response is not marked `isError`. Call [List Knowledge Base Documents](/docs/mcp-tools/knowledge-base/list-knowledge-base-documents) to read the affected resource. Verify that the intended state is visible before making another change.

## Retry safety

This tool changes workspace state. After a timeout, read the affected resource before retrying so you do not create duplicate or conflicting changes.
