Questions

What is the Wxflows MCP server?

Examples and tutorials for building AI applications with watsonx.ai Flows Engine

What tools does Wxflows expose?

1 in total: 1 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Wxflows safe to connect to an agent?

With care. The audit graded it B (84/100) and found 19 things worth knowing before you trust this server, listed below with the exact line each was found on.

What credentials does Wxflows need?

It reads IBM_CREDENTIALS_FILE, OPENAI_APIKEY and WXFLOWS_APIKEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does Wxflows run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as wxflows-web-summarization at 1.0.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (aaf28a10d16a), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
