About Flow MCP Server
Connect your Flow account to any AI agent and automate your project management and team collaboration through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Flow (getflow.com) provides a clean and powerful platform for organizing work, tracking task progress, and facilitating team discussions. Now, you can manage your workspaces, projects, and individual tasks directly through natural conversation.
LlamaIndex agents combine Flow tool responses with indexed documents for comprehensive, grounded answers. Connect 12 tools through the Vinkius and query live data alongside vector stores and SQL databases in a single turn — ideal for hybrid search, data enrichment, and analytical workflows.
What you can do
- Project Coordination — List all projects within your workspaces and retrieve detailed metadata, including ownership and due dates.
- Task Management — Create, update, and list tasks across workspaces, projects, or specific task lists. Change statuses (incomplete/completed) instantly.
- Organized Lists — Access and list task groups (Lists) within projects to maintain a clear hierarchy of work.
- Team Interaction — List all workspace members and teams, and participate in task discussions by reading or adding comments.
- Workspace Oversight — Get a high-level view of all the top-level workspaces you belong to.
- Real-time Updates — Fetch specific task details or metadata to keep your team informed and your projects on track.
The Flow MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to LlamaIndex in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use LlamaIndex with the Flow MCP Server
LlamaIndex provides unique advantages when paired with Flow through the Model Context Protocol.
Data-first architecture: LlamaIndex agents combine Flow tool responses with indexed documents for comprehensive, grounded answers
Query pipeline framework lets you chain Flow tool calls with transformations, filters, and re-rankers in a typed pipeline
Multi-source reasoning: agents can query Flow, a vector store, and a SQL database in a single turn and synthesize results
Observability integrations show exactly what Flow tools were called, what data was returned, and how it influenced the final answer
Flow + LlamaIndex Use Cases
Practical scenarios where LlamaIndex combined with the Flow MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Hybrid search: combine Flow real-time data with embedded document indexes for answers that are both current and comprehensive
Data enrichment: query Flow to augment indexed data with live information before generating user-facing responses
Knowledge base agents: build agents that maintain and update knowledge bases by periodically querying Flow for fresh data
Analytical workflows: chain Flow queries with LlamaIndex's data connectors to build multi-source analytical reports
