About Yida MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your enterprise operations with Yida, the premier low-code platform under the DingTalk ecosystem. By connecting Yida to your agent, you transform complex form management and data orchestration into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list your forms, retrieve field schemas, manage data records (create, update, delete), and even monitor workflow approval timelines without you needing to navigate the complex DingTalk interface. Whether you are managing administrative approvals, inventory tracking, or customized business processes, your agent acts as a real-time operations assistant, keeping your data accurate and your workflows moving.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Yida tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Form Orchestration — List all accessible forms and retrieve detailed field schemas for your Yida applications.
- Data Operations — Manage form instances (records) with full support for creating, listing, and granular updates.
- Workflow Monitoring — Check the current status and approval timeline for any workflow instance.
- Schema Auditing — Retrieve internal form schemas to understand data structures and field IDs.
- User Coordination — Access application user lists to manage assignments and participation effectively.
