How to connect Flux to your AI assistant through MCP

What Flux MCP does

Flux MCP connects your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any MCP-compatible tool) directly to your Flux workspace. The AI can read your existing flows, create new ones, build data views, and search your records, all through conversation.

How to connect Flux to your AI assistant

Claude

1. Open Claude.ai and go to Settings → Integrations
2. Search for Flux in the Connectors Directory
3. Click Connect and log in with your Flux credentials
4. OAuth handles authentication automatically, no API keys needed

You're connected. Start a new conversation and Flux is available as a tool.

ChatGPT

1. Open ChatGPT and go to Settings → Connected apps (or Tools)
2. Select the option to add a remote MCP server
3. Enter the Flux server URL: https://flux.api.optioryx.com/mcp
4. Log in with your Flux credentials to authenticate

Once connected, Flux is available as a tool in any ChatGPT conversation.

Gemini

1. Open Google AI Studio or Gemini Advanced
2. Go to Extensions or Tools in the settings
3. Add a new tool using the Flux server URL: https://flux.api.optioryx.com/mcp
4. Authenticate with your Flux credentials

Gemini can then call Flux as a tool during conversations in AI Studio or Gemini Advanced.

Add this to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flux": {
      "url": "https://flux.api.optioryx.com/mcp",
      "env": { "FLUX_API_KEY": "your-api-key" }
    }
  }
}

‍

Get your API key from Flux → Settings → API Keys.

The exact menu names for ChatGPT and Gemini may shift as these platforms update. If you can't find the option, search for "MCP" or "remote tools" in your AI assistant's settings.

When the Flux UI is faster

If you're building a short, straightforward flow, 3 or 4 steps, modules you know well, no complex routing, you'll be faster just building it directly in the Flux UI. The drag-and-drop builder is quick for simple cases.

Flux MCP starts earning its value when the flow is long, complex, or when the structure already exists somewhere outside Flux, in a document, a spreadsheet, or a paper form you want to digitize.

The most powerful use case is handing it a process you already have, a checklist, an audit template, an SOP, an Excel form, and letting it build the Flux flow directly from that document.

How it works:

1. Paste your document or upload your file into the conversation
2. Tell the AI what you want: "Build a Flux flow from this"
3. Watch the flow appear live in your Flux browser tab as the AI builds it

Every change is visible in real time. Before it goes live, you review it, edit anything you want, and deploy when you're ready.

Troubleshooting

• AI says it can't connect to Flux: Check that the MCP server is added correctly and your API key or OAuth token is valid.
• Flow was built but I can't see it: Make sure you're logged into the correct Flux workspace. The AI opens the flow in your default browser tab.
• A module type is missing: Not all module types may be available in your Flux plan. Check your subscription or contact support.
