Manage workflows in Claude Desktop

Trigger manual runs or check the current status of your integration pipelines. Your agent pulls real-time execution history using `list_workflow_runs` and `get_run_status` to show you exactly what happened during a sync. Use `list_workflows` to find specific job IDs before you fire off a command. This setup keeps your pipeline management within the Claude Desktop interface.

Connect data sources with this MCP Server

View every active source and destination connector currently linked to your platform. You can query `list_available_sources` and `list_available_destinations` to see what types of integrations are ready for your next project. Your agent parses these lists to verify compatibility before you attempt a data transfer. It saves you from digging through manual documentation.

Check workflow details in Claude Desktop

Inspect the source, destination, and status of any pipeline using `get_workflow`. It gives you a clear snapshot of how your data is moving across the platform. `list_connections` provides a bird's-eye view of your entire infrastructure. You get the facts immediately, right where you are working.
