Cloudgate Workflow — Claude Code MCP server: controllers and graphs
Hooks an AI client into Cloudgate's hosted workflow API so you can build controllers, actions, workflow graphs and databases from the chat.
claude mcp add --transport http workflow https://api.cloudgate.dev/mcp/workflowWhat Cloudgate Workflow does
Cloudgate Workflow is a remote MCP server at https://api.cloudgate.dev/mcp/workflow. It speaks Model Context Protocol over streamable HTTP, and every user signs in through OAuth 2.1 with authorization code and PKCE. Calls are scoped to that person's tenant and account, so no tokens or secrets sit in your project.
Most clients that accept remote MCP servers can connect: Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Gemini CLI. The repo also packages a cloudgate-builder plugin for Claude, which carries the connection config and a cloudgate-build skill that walks the model through creating controllers, actions, graphs and databases.
The plugin talks native HTTP and needs a client with remote MCP OAuth support. It never spawns Node.js and does not use mcp-remote. Swap that config for an unpinned bridge command and your connection starts moving with whatever that bridge ships next — leave it as is.
What it helps with
- scaffold a Cloudgate controller from a plain-language description
- wire actions together into a workflow graph
- create a database behind a new API
- list the controllers in your account and check their state
- edit an existing workflow without clicking through the dashboard
Example prompts for the agent
- List my Cloudgate controllers
- Create a controller that accepts incoming requests and add an action to store them in the database
- Build a workflow graph: after an order is created, send the email and write the status

Questions about Cloudgate Workflow
How do I install Cloudgate Workflow in Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http workflow https://api.cloudgate.dev/mcp/workflow. The first tool call sends you to hub.cloudgate.dev to sign in with OAuth.
What does Cloudgate Workflow do?
It gives an AI client access to Cloudgate's workflow API: controllers, actions, workflow graphs and databases. Since the server is hosted, there is nothing to install locally.
