What is the Activepieces MCP Server?
Connect your Activepieces account to any AI agent to orchestrate complex automations and monitor your business workflows through natural language.
What you can do
- Flow Management — List, create, retrieve, and delete automation flows within your projects using
list_flowsandcreate_flow. - Execution Monitoring — Track flow runs, check statuses, and inspect detailed step results for debugging with
list_flow_runsandget_flow_run. - App Connections — Manage credentials and connections for external services like Slack, Discord, or Google Sheets via
list_app_connections. - Flow Operations — Apply structural changes or status updates to existing flows programmatically using
apply_flow_operation. - Organization — List and manage folders to keep your automation workspace tidy with
list_folders.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Activepieces API Key
- Start orchestrating your automations from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual checking of execution logs or switching tabs to enable/disable flows. Your AI acts as a dedicated automation engineer.
Who is this for?
- DevOps & Automation Engineers — monitor flow health and trigger updates directly from the terminal or chat.
- Product Operations — manage app connections and verify data consistency across automated workflows.
- Marketing Teams — check the status of lead-gen flows and ensure integrations are running smoothly.

Frequently asked questions
Can I check why a specific flow execution failed?
Yes. Use the get_flow_run tool with the Run ID to retrieve detailed execution data, including step results and error messages.
How do I update the status of an existing flow?
You can use the apply_flow_operation tool. It allows you to send an operation payload to change the flow's status or modify its structure.
Can I see which external apps are connected to my project?
Yes, the list_app_connections tool retrieves all credentials and connections configured for a specific Project ID.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
