Connect Temporal to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

Set it up once and it works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other client you love. It all runs safely in the background, so you can relax and focus on what really matters. Debug and monitor distributed executions directly from your AI agent.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Rapid Debugging

An engineer asks the agent to find why a specific workflow panicked to identify the failing line of code.

02

Incident Response

An SRE queries the cluster for all failed executions within a specific timeframe to assess impact.

03

System Auditing

A platform engineer checks namespace metadata to ensure retention settings are correct.

04

Schedule Verification

A developer checks the next scheduled run time for a critical background task.

Automate a task

Put Temporal to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Temporal works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Temporal to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 7 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Temporal, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Temporal. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Temporal owners hand off.

This MCP is built for engineers managing complex, distributed stateful applications.

  • 01

    Software Engineers

    They use the agent to debug failed runs and inspect event histories without leaving their IDE.

  • 02

    Platform Teams

    They use the agent to audit namespaces and verify search attributes across the cluster.

  • 03

    SREs

    They use the agent to run visibility queries and investigate logs during active incidents.

FAQ

Questions Temporal owners ask.

  • 01

    Does this work with self-hosted Temporal clusters?

    Yes. This MCP connects to both Temporal Cloud and self-hosted clusters.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 03

    How do I authenticate with my Temporal cluster?

    You will need to provide your Temporal Address, Namespace, and either an API Key or a certificate pathway during setup.

  • 04

    Can I run complex queries?

    Yes. The agent can execute searches using Temporal Visibility Query syntax to find specific runs based on attributes.

  • 05

    Where is the data hosted?

    Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP, so you don't have to worry about running the connection locally.

  • 06

    Can my AI agent debug a failed Temporal workflow run directly?

    Yes. Instead of browsing the Temporal UI to manually dissect the execution, feed the workflow ID directly to your AI agent. It can seamlessly fetch the entire event history, identify the exact panic line or activity timeout, and immediately suggest code fixes within your IDE.

  • 07

    How complex can the visibility searches be via natural language?

    Very complex. Because your agent understands your codebase, you can ask 'Find all workflows of type ProcessPayment that failed in the last 2 hours'. The agent formulates the perfect SQL-like syntax for the backend, parses the matching pages, and surfaces exactly which transactions failed.

  • 08

    Can it read scheduled jobs and Cron jobs configurations inside Temporal?

    Absolutely. You can request a list of all active schedules mapped to your namespace. Your agent unpacks JSON configurations, showing definitions of workflow recurrence, enabling you to detect missing crons without interrupting your workflow.
