FlowDot Overview

The FlowDot MCP server connects MCP-compatible AI clients to FlowDot for workflow discovery, construction, execution, monitoring, and sharing. It exposes tools for editing workflow graphs, inspecting node schemas, validating configurations, and running workflows synchronously, asynchronously, or through SSE streams. Use it when an agent needs to operate FlowDot without relying on the web interface. Authentication uses a FlowDot MCP token supplied through the client configuration.
