How do I get my Relay API Key?

Log in to your Relay account, navigate to Settings > API Keys, and generate a new key.

Can I pass inputs to a workflow?

Yes! Use the run_workflow action with a JSON object of input variables that match your workflow's input schema.

Can I cancel an active workflow run?

Yes! Use the cancel_run action with the run ID. This only works on runs that are currently in progress.

Can I view the required inputs for a specific workflow?

Yes! Use the get_workflow action to see its required input schema before running it.

About Relay Workflow Automation MCP Server

Connect Relay to any AI agent and automate your business workflows -- list available workflows, trigger executions with dynamic inputs, monitor run statuses, and cancel active runs through natural conversation.

AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Relay Workflow Automation tools. Connect 6 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

What you can do

Workflow Discovery -- List and inspect all configured workflows in your account
Trigger Execution -- Start workflows with custom input variables
Run Monitoring -- Check progress and results of active and completed runs
Run Management -- Cancel in-progress workflows when needed

The Relay Workflow Automation MCP Server exposes 6 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen 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 AutoGen with the Relay Workflow Automation MCP Server

AutoGen provides unique advantages when paired with Relay Workflow Automation through the Model Context Protocol.

Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use Relay Workflow Automation tools to solve complex tasks

Role-based architecture lets you assign Relay Workflow Automation tool access to specific agents. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates

Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive Relay Workflow Automation tool calls

Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes Relay Workflow Automation tool responses in an isolated environment

Relay Workflow Automation + AutoGen Use Cases

Practical scenarios where AutoGen combined with the Relay Workflow Automation MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Collaborative analysis: one agent queries Relay Workflow Automation while another validates results and a third generates the final report

Automated review pipelines: a researcher agent fetches data from Relay Workflow Automation, a critic agent evaluates quality, and a writer produces the output

Interactive planning: agents negotiate task allocation using Relay Workflow Automation data to make informed decisions about resource distribution

Code generation with live data: an AutoGen coder agent writes scripts that process Relay Workflow Automation responses in a sandboxed execution environment

Relay Workflow Automation + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Relay Workflow Automation MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Relay Workflow Automation tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
