list_projects
Lists all Cognigy.AI projects accessible by your API key. Use this to discover available projects before working with flows, intents, or other resources.
list_flows
Lists all flows in a Cognigy.AI project. Flows are conversation logic containers. Use this to discover flows before reading or modifying them.
get_flow
Gets detailed metadata about a specific Cognigy.AI flow. Returns flow configuration, locale info, and timestamps. Use this to inspect a flow before modifying it.
get_flow_settings
Gets the settings/configuration of a Cognigy.AI flow. Returns NLU settings, thresholds, and other flow-level configurations. Use this before updating flow settings.
get_latest_log_entries
Gets the latest execution log entries from a Cognigy.AI project. Use this for debugging flow execution, viewing errors, or monitoring agent behavior.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Cognigy AI MCP Management Server is categorized under Conversational AI and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Perspective AI MCP belongs to Conversational AI using local stdio subprocess. Select Cognigy AI MCP Management Server when you need capabilities focused on conversational ai and Perspective AI MCP when you require tools for conversational ai.
Lists all nodes in a Cognigy.AI flow. Nodes are the building blocks of conversation logic (Say, Question, If, Code, etc.). Use this to explore flow structure before reading specific nodes or modifying the flow.
get_node
Gets detailed configuration of a specific node in a Cognigy.AI flow. Returns the node's type, label, config fields, and settings. Use this to inspect node behavior before modifying it.
search_nodes
Searches for nodes in a Cognigy.AI flow by text content. Finds nodes containing the search term in their configuration (messages, conditions, code, etc.). Use this to locate specific content within large flows.
get_node_descriptors
Gets all available node types (blueprints) that can be created in a Cognigy.AI flow. Returns node type definitions including their fields, appearance, and constraints. Use this to understand what nodes can be added to a flow.
list_intents
Lists all intents in a Cognigy.AI flow. Intents are the NLU triggers that match user utterances to flow logic. Use this to explore NLU configuration before training or modifying intents.
get_intent
Gets detailed configuration of a specific intent in a Cognigy.AI flow. Returns the intent's conditions, rules, confirmation sentences, and settings. Use this to inspect NLU behavior before modifying.
list_endpoints
Lists all endpoints in a Cognigy.AI project. Endpoints are channel connectors (Webchat, REST, Voice, etc.) that expose flows/agents to users. Use this to discover deployed channels.
