Can I search for failed workflows across my entire history?

Yes. The search tool supports Elasticsearch query syntax — search by status (FAILED, TIMED_OUT), workflow type, date ranges, or correlation IDs. Ask your agent 'show me all failed workflows from the last 24 hours' and it returns matching executions with their IDs, failure reasons, and timestamps.

What's the difference between workflow definitions and running instances?

Definitions are the blueprints — the graph schema with tasks, operators, and branching logic. Running instances are actual executions of those definitions, each with their own input data, current state, and task-by-task progress. Think of definitions as classes and instances as objects.

Does this integration support triggering new workflow executions?

Currently, this integration focuses on observability — listing definitions, monitoring running instances, and searching execution history. It does not trigger new workflow executions. For launching workflows, use the Orkes Conductor UI or direct API calls.

What this connector unlocks

Connect your Orkes Conductor cluster to any AI agent and get full visibility into your workflow orchestration layer — definitions, running instances, task states, and execution history.

What you can do

Workflow Definitions — List all registered workflow definitions with versions and descriptions, or inspect a specific workflow's graph schema with tasks, operators, and branching logic
Task Definitions — List all registered task definitions available for orchestration within your workflows
Running Instances — List actively running workflow instances filtered by workflow name to monitor what's currently executing
Execution Details — Get deep state details for any workflow execution including input/output mappings, task-by-task trace histories, and exceptions
Workflow Search — Search across all workflow executions using Elasticsearch queries, filtering by status, correlation ID, or workflow type

How it works

1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Orkes Access Key ID, Access Key Secret, and Base URL
3. Start monitoring your orchestrations from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

Platform engineers — monitor running workflows and quickly identify stuck or failed executions without opening the Conductor UI
DevOps teams — search execution history for failure patterns and audit workflow definitions during incident response
Architects — inspect workflow graphs and task definitions to understand orchestration dependencies
