About Automate.io MCP Server
Connect your Automate.io account to any AI agent and take full control of your integration workflows and platform boundaries through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Automate.io tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 6 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Bots & Workflows — List and inspect the structural rules, triggers, and action metadata for all your automated bots
- Execution Runs — Trace chronological execution attempts (successes and failures) for any specific workflow endpoint
- App Connections — Audit explicitly attached OAuth tokens or API keys verifying connectivity to external SaaS platforms
- Supported Apps — Discover global metadata bounding specific applications that the underlying Automate engine natively supports
- Usage Metrics — Retrieve live billing usage statistics to view how many workflow executions occurred against your account quota
The Automate.io MCP Server exposes 6 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
