MCP Server
What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to AI agents.
By connecting an agent to an MCP server, that server can offer tools and resources that give the agent the context it needs to solve a problem.
Flowgear exposes two MCP servers.
Workflow MCP Server
The Workflow MCP server allows published Flowgear Workflows to be exposed as MCP tools.
This works well for two broad categories of scenarios:
- Utility workflows - perform a specific task such as approving a purchase order, listing service tickets or updating the status of a record.
- Exploratory workflows - allow an AI agent to progressively find the data it needs by creating three MCP tool workflows - one to list available entities (e.g. tables), one to obtain the structure of an entity (e.g. fields) and one to run a query.

Builder MCP Server
The Builder MCP server exposes the same Workflow-building tool surface used by Flowgear's built-in tooling so that Workflows can be created and tested from outside the Console.
This is a powerful way to agentically build apps in your preferred IDE - frontend is created in your local repo while all interaction with your apps is mediated via Flowgear Workflows.
