MCP server exposing local Flowise chatflows as callable tools
Project description
mcp-flowise
MCP server that exposes the chatflows of your local Flowise as tools for Claude, Cursor, free-code, or any MCP client.
Tools
Simple mode (default):
list_chatflows()— lists available chatflows (id+name).create_prediction(chatflow_id, question)— runs a chatflow and returns its response.
Dynamic mode (FLOWISE_DYNAMIC=true):
- Registers one tool per chatflow at startup, e.g.
flowise_support_bot(question).
Requirements
Installation
Claude Desktop
Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json
(~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS,
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):
Option A — via npm (Node.js required):
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-flowise": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@suamkf08/mcp-flowise"],
"env": {
"FLOWISE_API_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:3000",
"FLOWISE_API_KEY": ""
}
}
}
}
Option B — via uvx (uv required):
Install uv first if you don't have it:
# macOS / Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# Windows
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
Then add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-flowise": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-flowise"],
"env": {
"FLOWISE_API_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:3000",
"FLOWISE_API_KEY": ""
}
}
}
}
Cursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json globally):
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-flowise": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@suamkf08/mcp-flowise"],
"env": {
"FLOWISE_API_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:3000",
"FLOWISE_API_KEY": ""
}
}
}
}
free-code
Add to ~/.free-code/agent/mcp.json (or import with /mcp-import):
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-flowise": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@suamkf08/mcp-flowise"],
"env": {
"FLOWISE_API_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:3000",
"FLOWISE_API_KEY": ""
}
}
}
}
Then enable it in free-code:
/mcp enable mcp-flowise
/reload
Configuration

Development
git clone https://github.com/suamkf08/mcp-flowise
cd mcp-flowise
uv run mcp-flowise # starts over stdio; Ctrl+C to quit
Inspect with MCP Inspector:
uv run mcp dev mcp_flowise/server.py
