How do I get a Pipefy API token and where do I find it?

Log in to Pipefy, click on your **Profile icon** (top-right), go to **Profile > API Access**, and generate a new token. Alternatively, use **Service Accounts** for team-based access. Copy the token immediately — it starts with `eyJhbG...`. Paste it into the API token field below. This token authenticates all GraphQL API requests to `https://api.pipefy.com/graphql`.

How do I move a card from one phase to another in a pipe?

Use the `move_card_to_phase` tool with the card_id (from list_cards or get_card) and the target phase_id (from get_pipe or list_phases). This advances the card through your workflow. For example, moving a card from 'New Requests' to 'In Review' phase. The card retains all its field values after moving. This is the primary way to progress items through your process.

Can I search for cards by a specific field value like email or customer name?

Yes! Use the `search_cards_by_field` tool with the pipe_id, field_id (the specific field to search in), and search_value (the text to find). This searches all cards in the pipe where that field contains your search text. It's perfect for finding cards by customer email, name, order number, or any custom field. Results include full card details with all field values.

How do I create a new card with custom field values?

Use the `create_card` tool with the pipe_id and a JSON object containing field values. The fields parameter should be a JSON object where keys are field IDs (from get_pipe) and values are the data to store. Example: `{ "name": "John Doe", "email": "john@example.com", "priority": "High" }`. You can also optionally specify a phase_id to start the card in a specific phase instead of the default first phase.

Infrastructure monitoring: run Claude Code in a cron job to query Pipefy status endpoints and alert on anomalies

Pipefy MCP Tools for Claude Code (14)

These 14 tools become available when you connect Pipefy to Claude Code via MCP:

clone_card

You must provide the card_id of the card to clone. The new card is created in the same pipe as the original, starting at the first phase. This is useful for creating similar requests, repeating processes, or using an existing card as a template for new items. The cloned card gets a new unique ID but retains all field data. Clone an existing card to create a duplicate

create_card

You must provide the pipe_id and a JSON object containing field values matching the pipe's required fields. Fields are key-value pairs where keys are field IDs and values are the data to store. Optionally specify a phase_id to start the card in a specific phase (defaults to first phase). Example fields: { "name": "John Doe", "email": "john@example.com", "priority": "High" } Create a new card in a Pipefy pipe

delete_card

You must provide the card_id. This action cannot be undone. Use this to remove test cards, duplicates, or items that were created in error. Be careful as this will also remove all associated data including comments, attachments, and field values for that card. Delete a card from a pipe

get_card

Use the card_id obtained from list_cards to inspect full card information. This is useful for reviewing card details before updating fields or moving to another phase. Get detailed information about a specific card

get_organization

Use the organization_id to inspect your organization's structure, understand team membership, and discover available pipes for card management. Get details of a Pipefy organization

get_phase

Phases represent steps in a pipe's workflow. Use the phase_id obtained from get_pipe or list_phases to inspect phase configuration. This helps understand what fields are required at each step of the workflow. Get details of a specific phase

get_pipe

Each pipe represents a workflow or process with multiple phases (steps) and custom fields. Use the pipe_id to get the structure of a pipe before creating cards or managing cards within it. The response includes all phases with their IDs, names, and the custom fields defined for the pipe. Get details of a specific Pipefy pipe (process)

get_user_profile

Use this to verify API token access and discover organization IDs needed for other queries. This is also useful for understanding which organizations and pipes the user has access to. Get the authenticated user profile

list_cards

Cards represent individual items flowing through the pipe's workflow phases (e.g., requests, tasks, tickets, leads). You must provide the pipe_id. Optionally filter by phase_id to see cards in a specific phase. Each card includes title, current phase, completion status, due date, and assignees. Use this to monitor workflow progress and identify cards that need attention. List all cards in a pipe with optional phase filter

list_phases

Each phase represents a stage that cards flow through in the process. Use this to understand the workflow structure and identify phase IDs for filtering cards or moving cards between phases. The response includes phase names and card counts. List all phases in a pipe

list_pipes

Each pipe represents a structured workflow with phases, fields, and cards. You must provide the organization_id which can be found in your Pipefy URL or obtained from get_user_profile. Use this to discover all available pipes before managing cards within them. List all pipes in an organization

move_card_to_phase

You must provide the card_id and the target phase_id. This is the primary way to advance workflow items through the pipe's process steps. Common use cases: moving a request from "New" to "In Review", advancing a lead to "Qualified", or progressing a task to "Completed". The card retains all its field values after moving. Move a card to a different phase in the pipe

search_cards_by_field

This is useful for finding cards by email, name, ID, or any custom field content. You must provide the pipe_id, field_id (the field to search in), and search_value (text to find). Results include card title, current phase, status, and all field values for matching cards. The search uses a "contains" operator for flexible matching. Search cards in a pipe by a specific field value

update_card_field

You must provide the card_id, the field_id of the field to update, and the new value as a string. This is useful for updating card information as requests progress or details change. Common updates: changing priority, updating contact info, modifying descriptions, or setting dates. Update a specific field value on a card
