Setup

API Key

Create a Gumloop API key with access to the required features:

1. Go to Gumloop Workspace Settings
2. Generate a new API key
3. Copy the generated key

Usage with Claude Desktop

To use this with Claude Desktop, add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

Using NPX

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gumloop": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "gumloop-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GUMLOOP_API_KEY": "<YOUR_GUMLOOP_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using Docker

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gumloop": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "-e",
        "GUMLOOP_API_KEY",
        "gumloop-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GUMLOOP_API_KEY": "<YOUR_GUMLOOP_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Examples

Starting an Automation

// Start a saved automation flow
const result = await agent.callTool("startAutomation", {
  user_id: "user123",
  saved_item_id: "flow456",
  pipeline_inputs: [
    {
      input_name: "search_query",
      value: "AI automation trends 2025"
    }
  ]
});

Checking Run Status

// Check the status of a running automation
const result = await agent.callTool("retrieveRunDetails", {
  run_id: "run789",
  user_id: "user123"
});

Listing Available Flows

// Get all saved flows for a user
const result = await agent.callTool("listSavedFlows", {
  user_id: "user123"
});

Working with Files

// Upload a file to be used in an automation
const result = await agent.callTool("uploadFile", {
  user_id: "user123",
  file_name: "data.csv",
  file_content: "base64EncodedFileContent..."
});

Response Format

The server returns Gumloop API responses in JSON format. Here’s an example for retrieving run details:

{
  "user_id": "user123",
  "state": "RUNNING",
  "outputs": {},
  "created_ts": "2023-11-07T05:31:56Z",
  "finished_ts": null,
  "log": [
    "Starting automation flow...",
    "Processing input parameters...",
    "Executing node 1: Web Scraper..."
  ]
}

Limitations

• API calls are subject to Gumloop’s rate limits and usage quotas
• File uploads are limited to the maximum size allowed by Gumloop’s API
• Some features may require specific subscription tiers
• The server requires a valid Gumloop API key with appropriate permissions
