MCP use cases

MCP use cases provide steps on how to implement the following MCP capabilities:

• MCP cloud uses your API recipe collections and AI gateway collections generate unique, authenticated MCP URLs. You can add this MCP URL to your LLM settings to enable an AI agent to use your API endpoint collection to answer user prompts.

• MCP local server acts as a regular API platform user and supports all API platform authentication methods. This lets you securely connect an MCP client to any API collection using standard credentials without remote setup. This enables AI models to access and interact with data sources like files, databases, and APIs.

• Workato Developer API MCP enables AI-powered developer environments like Claude Desktop and Cursor to programmatically access your Workato workspace and interact with the platform.

USE CASES ARE INTENDED AS EXAMPLES ONLY

Use cases are intended to serve as examples. MCP tool recipe modifications such as API trigger configuration, action configuration, and conditional logic may require adjustments if you plan to include these MCP tools in your own workflows.

Create a new GitHub issue in Cursor

This use case integrates Cursor, GitHub, and Workato Developer API to create a new GitHub issue based on the instructions you give your agent in Cursor.
