Frequently Asked Questions

What is FlowDot MCP?

FlowDot MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that allows AI assistants like Claude to interact with the FlowDot platform. Your AI can create workflows, execute automations, manage knowledge bases, and build apps directly through natural language.

Which AI assistants support FlowDot MCP?

FlowDot MCP works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code with Claude extension, Windsurf, and any other MCP-compatible client. The Model Context Protocol is an open standard supported by Anthropic.

Do I need a FlowDot account to use MCP?

Yes, you need a free FlowDot account to generate an API key. The free tier includes access to all MCP features. Premium features like unlimited workflows and advanced nodes require a subscription.

What can Claude do with FlowDot access?

Claude can create and edit workflows, execute workflows with custom inputs, search and browse public workflows, upload documents to your knowledge base, query your knowledge base for RAG, create and manage FlowDot apps, and build custom nodes.

Is FlowDot MCP secure?

Yes. FlowDot MCP uses your personal API key for authentication. All requests are encrypted via HTTPS. Your API key gives access only to your own workflows, knowledge bases, and apps. You can revoke access anytime from your FlowDot settings.

Can I use my own API keys with FlowDot MCP?

Yes. FlowDot supports BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys). Configure your OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Ollama keys in FlowDot settings, and your AI assistant will use those keys when executing workflows that require LLM calls.

Does FlowDot MCP work offline?

FlowDot MCP requires an internet connection to communicate with the FlowDot platform. However, if you're using Ollama for local AI models, the LLM processing happens locally while FlowDot manages the workflow orchestration.
