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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Flow tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 12 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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 Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
