Manage Full Workflow Cycles in Claude Desktop

You build and manage entire automations using this MCP Server. You can check connectivity with `check_workload_status`, list available automation blueprints via `list_workflows`, or get full details about a specific flow using `get_workflow`. Need to run something? Claude Desktop lets you initiate new workflows with `create_workflow`. You also control the lifecycle, enabling flows with `enable_workflow` or taking them offline using `disable_workflow`.

Monitor and Debug Running Workloads

When a workflow runs, you need to know what’s happening. The server gives you execution details via `get_execution`, and you can see the history of all runs using `list_executions`. Need to track down an error? You'll find it by calling `list_logs` for detailed logs on any given run. If a job fails, don't sweat it. The server handles retries; just call `retry_execution` to try the whole thing again.

Inventory All Connections and Credentials

This MCP Server lets you keep track of all your necessary connections. You can see every linked service by calling `list_connections`. Need to know what credentials are available? Use `get_connection` for specific details. It's also handy to list existing running automation jobs with `list_executions`, or narrow down the view to just those tied to one workflow using `list_executions_by_workflow`.
