iFlytek Workflow MCP Server

The iFlytek Workflow MCP Server bridges the gap between large language models (LLMs) and complex business processes by exposing iFlytek’s workflow engine as an MCP‑compatible tool set. It allows AI assistants to trigger, orchestrate, and retrieve results from sophisticated multi‑step workflows without leaving the conversational context. This is especially valuable for developers who need to embed enterprise logic—such as approval chains, data transformations, or external API calls—into an LLM‑driven application while maintaining a clean, standardized interface.

At its core, the server translates workflow definitions into MCP tool calls. Each workflow is composed of a start node (capturing user input) and an end node (returning the final result), with up to fourteen distinct node types that cover basic operations, logic gates, tool invocations, and data transformations. The server supports a rich set of execution modes: sequential, parallel, looped, and nested workflows. A hook mechanism enables streaming output so that an AI assistant can deliver partial results in real time, improving user experience during long-running processes.

Developers can configure the server via a simple YAML file that lists workflow identifiers, optional metadata, and API credentials. Once configured, an MCP client can invoke any published workflow by name or ID, passing in variables that the workflow nodes consume and produce. The server’s support for complex variable I/O means data can flow seamlessly between nodes, allowing intricate business logic to be expressed declaratively.

The iFlytek Workflow MCP Server is particularly suited for scenarios where an LLM must coordinate multiple external services—such as automating ticketing systems, processing financial approvals, or orchestrating multi‑step data pipelines—while preserving context across turns. By leveraging the Model of Models (MoM) architecture, developers can inject different LLMs at critical points in a workflow, tailoring the intelligence to each task’s requirements. This flexibility makes the server an attractive choice for building adaptable, maintainable AI agents that need to interact with legacy systems or complex APIs.
