How to Use the Ziflow MCP in CrewAI
Run Autonomous Teams: Specialized Agents Collaborating with Ziflow and CrewAI.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Ziflow MCP to CrewAI
Create your Vinkius account to connect Ziflow to CrewAI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Coordinate Proof Creation Across Agents
The `create_proof` tool allows one agent to initiate a new proof, while another specialized agent might use `list_folders` to find the right destination. This mimics a real-world collaborative review process. The overall crew maintains shared memory of this creation step, ensuring all subsequent actions are context-aware.
Verify User Access and Roles
A dedicated agent can run `list_team_users` to gather an inventory of who has access. Another agent uses `get_account_info` to verify specific user roles against the platform's current state. This sequence allows your crew to autonomously audit permissions and report discrepancies.
Manage Content Review Links
If an agent finds a proof, it can use `get_proof_viewer_url` to generate the necessary review link. A follow-up agent can then send this link via messages or records. This hands off the final action—sharing—to another specialized tool within your autonomous workflow.
