MultiFlexi MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server for MultiFlexi API integration. This server provides tools and resources for interacting with MultiFlexi applications, jobs, companies, users, and run templates.

Features

• Applications: List, retrieve, and manage MultiFlexi applications
• Jobs: Create, retrieve, and monitor job execution
• Companies: Manage company data and configurations
• Users: Access user information and profiles
• Run Templates: Create and update execution templates
• GDPR Compliance: Request and manage data exports
• Authentication: Support for basic authentication
• Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling and logging

Installation

Using pip

pip install multiflexi-mcp-server

From source

git clone https://github.com/VitexSoftware/multiflexi-mcp-server.git
cd multiflexi-mcp-server
pip install -e .

Configuration

The server can be configured using environment variables:

Required Configuration

• MULTIFLEXI_HOST: MultiFlexi API host URL. No default - the server refuses to start without it. Must include the full API base path, e.g. https://your-instance.example.com/api/VitexSoftware/MultiFlexi/1.0.0; the /VitexSoftware/MultiFlexi/1.0.0 segment is required by the server's routing.

Optional Configuration

• MULTIFLEXI_USERNAME: Username for basic authentication
• MULTIFLEXI_PASSWORD: Password for basic authentication
• MULTIFLEXI_VERIFY_SSL: Whether to verify SSL certificates (default: true)
• MULTIFLEXI_TIMEOUT: Request timeout in seconds (default: 30)
• MULTIFLEXI_MAX_RETRIES: Maximum number of retries (default: 3)
• MULTIFLEXI_DEBUG: Enable debug logging (default: false)
• MULTIFLEXI_READONLY: When true (the default), all mutating tools (create/update/set/delete/assign/unassign) are rejected before any API call is made. Set to false to allow writes.

There is no zero-config default: the server always requires an explicit MULTIFLEXI_HOST (and, unless your instance allows anonymous access, MULTIFLEXI_USERNAME/MULTIFLEXI_PASSWORD) so it never silently talks to an unintended backend. If you just want to try the server without your own MultiFlexi instance, VitexSoftware runs a public demo you can point at explicitly: MULTIFLEXI_HOST=https://demo.multiflexi.eu/api with MULTIFLEXI_USERNAME=demo / MULTIFLEXI_PASSWORD=demo.

Example Configuration

export MULTIFLEXI_HOST="https://your-multiflexi-instance.example.com/api/VitexSoftware/MultiFlexi/1.0.0"
export MULTIFLEXI_USERNAME="your-username"
export MULTIFLEXI_PASSWORD="your-password"
export MULTIFLEXI_VERIFY_SSL="true"
export MULTIFLEXI_DEBUG="false"

Usage

Running the Server

multiflexi-mcp-server

Claude Desktop Integration

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "multiflexi": {
      "command": "multiflexi-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "MULTIFLEXI_HOST": "https://your-multiflexi-instance.example.com/api/VitexSoftware/MultiFlexi/1.0.0",
        "MULTIFLEXI_USERNAME": "your-username",
        "MULTIFLEXI_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using with MCP Clients

The server provides the following resources:

• multiflexi://apps - List of applications
• multiflexi://jobs - List of jobs
• multiflexi://companies - List of companies
• multiflexi://users - List of users
• multiflexi://runtemplates - List of run templates
• multiflexi://credentials - List of credentials
• multiflexi://credential_types - List of credential types
• multiflexi://topics - List of topics (capability contracts)
• multiflexi://eventsources - List of event sources
• multiflexi://eventrules - List of event rules
• multiflexi://tasks - List of tasks (per-window fulfilment obligations)

Available Prompts

• diagnose_job_failure (job_id) - Investigate why a job failed and whether a retry is safe
• task_fulfillment_report (runtemplate_id, optional) - Summarize Task states (fulfilled/fulfilled_late/failed/missed) for one or all RunTemplates
• gdpr_export_checklist (export_type, optional) - Request a GDPR data export and produce a compliance-ready summary once it completes

Available Tools

Requires a multiflexi-client build generated from the current openapi-schema.yaml (not yet released to PyPI as of this writing — see "Known limitations" below).

Application Management

• get_app - Get application by ID
• get_apps - List all applications (via resources)

Job Management

• get_job - Get job by ID
• create_job - Schedule a job from a RunTemplate (runtemplate_id, scheduled, executor, env)
• get_job_status - Get job execution status
• get_jobs - List all jobs (via resources)

Company Management

• get_company - Get company by ID
• list_companies - List all companies
• list_company_users - List users assigned to a company
• assign_user_to_company - Assign a user to a company with an access role
• unassign_user_from_company - Remove a user's assignment from a company

User Management

• get_user - Get user by ID
• list_users - List all users
• get_user_roles - Get RBAC roles assigned to a user
• set_user_roles - Assign RBAC roles to a user

Credential & Credential Type Management

• list_credentials / get_credential / update_credential - List/get/update credentials
• list_credential_types / get_credential_type / update_credential_type - List/get/update credential types

Topic Management

• list_topics / get_topic / update_topic - List/get/update topics

Event Source Management

• list_event_sources / get_event_source - List/get event sources
• set_event_source - Create or update an event source
• delete_event_source - Delete an event source
• test_event_source_connection - Live-test connectivity/credentials

Event Rule Management

• list_event_rules / get_event_rule - List/get event rules
• set_event_rule - Create or update an event rule
• delete_event_rule - Delete an event rule

Task (read-only — tasks are system-materialized per RunTemplate window)

• list_tasks - List tasks, optionally filtered by state/runtemplate_id
• get_task - Get a task by ID, including its job attempt history

Run Template Management

• get_runtemplate - Get run template by ID
• update_runtemplate - Update run template
• get_runtemplates - List all templates (via resources)

GDPR Compliance

• request_data_export - Request data export
• get_export_status - Check export status

Known limitations

• set_company_by_id still has no requestBody defined in openapi-schema.yaml, so Company writes are not exposed as an MCP tool — only list/get. update_credentials, update_credential_type, and update_topic now have requestBody schemas and are exposed as update_credential, update_credential_type, and update_topic.
• get_credential's schema declares a required token parameter alongside credential_id that looks like a schema-authoring artifact on a session-authenticated endpoint; it's exposed but defaults to an empty string.

API Documentation

This server integrates with the MultiFlexi API. For detailed API documentation, refer to:

• MultiFlexi API Documentation
• OpenAPI Specification

Error Handling

The server provides comprehensive error handling:

• API Errors: Formatted with status codes and detailed messages
• Authentication Errors: Clear authentication failure messages
• Validation Errors: Input validation with descriptive errors
• Network Errors: Timeout and connection error handling

All errors are returned in a consistent JSON format:

{
  "error": true,
  "operation": "get_app",
  "status": 404,
  "reason": "Not Found",
  "details": {
    "message": "Application with ID 123 not found"
  }
}

Security Considerations

• Authentication: Use environment variables for credentials
• SSL Verification: Enable SSL verification in production
• Network Security: Ensure secure network connections
• Data Privacy: Handle GDPR exports with appropriate security

Changelog

See CHANGELOG.md for the full history. Highlights:

v0.2.0

• Fixed slow cold-start import time: multiflexi_client (the generated API SDK) is now imported lazily on first use instead of at module load, cutting process startup from ~5s to well under 1s -- this matters because the server is spawned fresh per connection by consumers with a bounded handshake timeout.
• Added update_credential, update_credential_type, and update_topic tools
• Fixed several API method/response mismatches against multiflexi-client

v0.1.0 (Initial Release)

• Basic MCP server implementation
• MultiFlexi API integration
• Application, job, company, user, and template management
• GDPR compliance features
• Comprehensive error handling
• Environment-based configuration
