Audit Workflow Recipes with MCP Server

You can list all running automation recipes in the account via `list_automation_recipes`. This shows you what workflows are set up, letting you check for duplicates or outdated processes. Need to know more about a specific workflow? Use `get_recipe_details` to pull deep specs on any recipe. You get full visibility into the architecture without logging into the console.

Manage App Connections in Windsurf

The MCP Server lets you see all configured application connections using `list_app_connections`. This is critical for security audits because it shows exactly which services your account relies on. Keep track of what's available by running `list_managed_connectors`. You get a complete inventory of the connectors Workato uses, helping you plan migrations or updates.

Monitor Job Runs and Folders

You check recent job executions for any recipe using `list_recipe_jobs`. This gives you immediate feedback on whether a workflow succeeded or failed recently. Want to know where your work is organized? Use `list_workato_folders` to list all organizational folders. You map out the structure of your account, making it easier to find and manage specific automation recipes.
