What is workflow-mcp?

An MCP server packaged as a Docker container for running workflows in a project workspace. MCP is a way for an AI coding tool to call external tools through a standard connection.

Use it when a coding agent needs to run workflows against a read-only project workspace through Docker.

It provides a configured workflow service without requiring the workflow software to be installed directly on the host system. It requires an OpenAI API key and a concurrency setting.

workflow-mcp — MCP server for Claude Code and Codex by Juliusolsson05

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Juliusolsson05/workflow-mcp

Made for: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode.

Security

Grade A, and why

workflow-mcp scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
