## Description

Need deep visibility into your automation flows without logging into the dashboard? This MCP connects your Automate.io account directly to any AI agent, letting you manage and debug complex integration workflows using only conversation. You can inspect structural rules for all your bots, trace specific execution runs to pinpoint exactly where a workflow failed, and audit every OAuth token connected to external services. It's about gaining total control over platform boundaries through plain talk.

For instance, instead of manually checking dashboards, you ask your agent to list all active connections or retrieve live billing usage stats against your account quota. This deep level of operational oversight makes it easy for teams to maintain reliability. By connecting this MCP via Vinkius, you bring the platform's full set of monitoring tools directly into your AI workflow, letting your agent do the heavy lifting.

## Capabilities

### List and inspect all bots
See a structural overview of every automated bot, including its triggers and actions.

### Trace execution history for specific workflows
Retrieve the chronological log of attempts—successes or failures—for any given workflow endpoint.

### Audit connected SaaS applications
List and verify all external app connections, checking attached API keys or OAuth tokens.

### Check billing usage quotas
Get real-time statistics showing how many workflow executions have occurred against your account allowance.

### View supported integrations
Discover a list of applications that the underlying Automate engine natively supports globally.

## Use Cases

### Pinpointing a Production Bug
A developer notices workflows are failing intermittently. They ask their agent to check the `list_bot_runs` for the affected bot, which immediately pinpoints that the failure only happens on runs from the East Coast region, saving hours of guesswork.

### Quarterly Security Audit
An IT admin needs to confirm all connected systems are still valid. They use the connection listing tools (`list_connections`) to generate a definitive report on every authorized OAuth token and API key in one pass.

### Quota Management Check
The Ops team leader is worried about exceeding their monthly budget. They ask for usage metrics, and the agent uses `get_usage` to confirm they have 20% quota remaining until the next billing cycle.

### Onboarding New Services
A new team needs to know what services Automate.io supports. They ask the AI to list all available integrations, using `list_apps` to see if the necessary CRM or ERP platform is built-in.

## Benefits

- Instantly diagnose workflow failures: Use the `list_bot_runs` function to trace exactly why a specific automation failed, getting the error details without logging in.
- Maintain security posture: Audit all connected external systems using `list_connections`, verifying which OAuth tokens or API keys are active and authorized.
- Manage resources efficiently: The `get_usage` tool gives you live billing statistics, letting you know exactly how close your workflow executions are to hitting the quota limit.
- Control platform complexity: Instead of digging through menus, ask the agent to `list_bots` and instantly review the structure, triggers, and rules for every bot.
- Quickly assess connectivity: Use the tool that lists all supported integrations (`list_apps`) before trying to build a new workflow with an unknown service.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get instant access to critical operational metrics and debug logs without ever leaving your chat interface.

1. Subscribe to this MCP and provide your unique Automate.io API Key.
2. Connect it to your preferred AI client (Claude, Cursor, etc.).
3. Ask your agent questions about your workflows; it retrieves the data from Automate.io.
