OpFlow × Cowork

Build, run, and debug OpFlow workflows by chatting with Claude — the MCP server + the OpFlow skill. The fastest way to use OpFlow.

OpFlow ships a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so an AI client — Claude Code, the Cowork app, Claude Desktop, Cursor — can build and operate your workflows for you. Ask in plain language; the model creates the flow, validates the graph, and can run it, all scoped to your account.

Add it in one command

Create an API token first (below), then paste this into your terminal — replace opflow_YOUR_TOKEN with the token you copied:

claude mcp add --transport http opflow https://flow.opscend.net/api/public/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer opflow_YOUR_TOKEN"

Add --scope user to make OpFlow available in every project rather than just the current one:

claude mcp add --scope user --transport http opflow https://flow.opscend.net/api/public/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer opflow_YOUR_TOKEN"

1 · Create your token

  1. In OpFlow, open Developer → API & MCP.
  2. Create a token with the read, write, and run scopes.
  3. Copy it — it's shown once. This is the opflow_ value in the command above.

2 · Run the command

Paste the command into your terminal with your token in place. Then restart your MCP client (or run /mcp to reconnect) so it loads the new server.

3 · Confirm it's connected

claude mcp list

You should see opflow listed as Connected. From then on you can say things like “build a workflow that emails me when a form is submitted” and the model will assemble it on your canvas.

What the model can do

  • Create, read, and update workflows (graph validated before every write).
  • List the node catalog and each node's fields, so it builds with real, supported nodes.
  • Run a workflow and read its run history and per-step output.
  • Create agents, tasks, and attach workflows to them.
  • List your connections so it wires the right accounts.

Everything is scoped to your token's account and gated by its scopes. New workflows are created disabled by default — you review and enable them. Manage or revoke tokens any time in Developer → API & MCP. Remove the server with: claude mcp remove opflow.

Add the OpFlow skill (recommended)

The MCP gives Claude the tools; the OpFlow skill gives it the know-how — the live node catalog, connectors, expressions, and graph conventions — so it builds valid workflows without you re-explaining OpFlow. Download it, then drop the unzipped opflow/ folder into your ~/.claude/skills/ directory (Claude Code) or import it in Cowork's skill manager.

↓ Download the OpFlow skill (.zip)

The archive contains SKILL.md + a references/ set generated from OpFlow's live catalog. Once installed, just ask: “build a workflow that logs every ManyChat new subscriber to history.”

Other MCP clients

Any MCP-capable client works — point it at https://flow.opscend.net/api/public/mcp over HTTP with an Authorization: Bearer opflow_… header. There's also a full REST API at /api/v1 (see /api/v1/openapi.json) if you'd rather call OpFlow directly.
