Overview
CSV to JSON Converter works by parsing CSV data and converting it into JSON objects. It automatically detects columns, handles quoted values, and supports custom delimiters. Maximum file size is 500KB.

The tool
Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as CSVtoJSONSkill. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.
{
"name": "CSVtoJSONSkill",
"arguments": {
"csv": "name,age,city\nJohn,30,New York\nJane,25,Los Angeles"
}
}You do not name the tool yourself; the model picks it. Asking about name,age,city
John,30,New York
Jane,25,Los Angeles in the terms this skill covers is enough for it to reach for CSVtoJSONSkill on its own — naming it explicitly also works, and is the way to force the call.
Connecting
One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"vervekit": {
"url": "https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcp"
}
}
}https://api.vervekit.com/v1/mcpPer-client setup — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT — is on the MCP setup page.
Arguments
These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
csvRequired | string | The CSV data to convert to JSON |
delimiterOptional | string | The delimiter used in the CSV,;\t|default , |
has_headerOptional | boolean | Whether the first row contains column headers (default: true) default true |
What the model gets back
The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.
{
"status": "ok",
"error": null,
"data": {
"row_count": 2,
"column_count": 3,
"columns": [
"name",
"age",
"city"
],
"inferredTypes": {
"name": "string",
"age": "integer",
"city": "string"
},
"json": [
{
"name": "John Doe",
"age": "30",
"city": "New York"
},
{
"name": "Jane Smith",
"age": "25",
"city": "Los Angeles"
}
]
}
}
Response fields
Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.
| Field | Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
row_count | number | 2 | Number of data rows in the converted JSON |
column_count | number | 3 | Number of columns detected in the CSV |
columns | array | ["name","age","city"] | Array of column names from header or auto-generated |
inferredTypesPremium | object | {…} | Detected data type for each column (integer, float, boolean, date, email, string) |
inferredTypes.namePremium | string | string | |
inferredTypes.agePremium | string | integer | |
inferredTypes.cityPremium | string | string | |
json | array[2] | The converted CSV data as an array of JSON objects | |
json.0.name | string | John Doe | |
json.0.age | string | 30 | |
json.0.city | string | New York |
Failure modes
Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
400 / 422 | The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one. |
401 | The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server. |
403 | Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity. |
404 | This skill is not part of VerveKit. Check the catalog. |
429 | Out of credits, or a brief rate limit. The message tells them apart. |
A call costs 2 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.
