Audit workflows via Claude Desktop MCP Server

This MCP Server exposes `list_bots` and `get_bot` directly to your agent. You ask for a breakdown of a specific automation, and the client reads the exact configuration logic. No more clicking through web dashboards just to remember how a trigger was mapped. Checking execution history works exactly the same way. Calling `list_bot_runs` pulls the chronological log of what fired and when. Your agent reads the failures and tells you precisely which step dropped the payload.

Monitor account limits and app connections

Billing limits sneak up fast when automations run wild. The `get_usage` tool pulls your active account statistics right into the chat interface. You see your task limits and current consumption instantly. Keeping track of authorized services is handled by `list_connections`. If an integration drops offline, you verify its status before digging into the bot logic. Need to know if a new service is supported? The agent runs `list_apps` to check the catalog.

Read automation logic locally or via web

Vinkius hosts the endpoint, so you just paste the URL into claude.ai or add it to your local config. The agent handles the authentication automatically. You get complete visibility into your workflow logic from any device. Sandboxing keeps these queries isolated. Everything runs ephemerally. Your agent reads the bot configurations, gives you the answers, and drops the connection.

Yes, it checks the catalog on demand. Calling the app list tool returns exactly what integrations are available for your account.

Ask the agent to pull the recent logs for that specific bot. It executes the run list tool, reads the chronical execution data, and summarizes the exact failure point.
