How do I connect MCP?

Add the MCP piece to a flow. Once connected, its 1 trigger and 1 action are available anywhere in the builder.

What can I automate with MCP?

"MCP Tool" can start a flow that runs "Reply to MCP Client", and you can chain MCP together with any of 770+ other apps and AI steps in between.

Can I self-host the MCP integration?

Yes. Activepieces is fully self-hostable, so you can run the MCP piece on your own infrastructure with your connections and your data staying in your environment.

Can my AI agent use MCP as a tool?

Yes. Every piece you connect can be exposed over one Activepieces MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or any MCP client can call MCP actions as tools.
