+ # Changelog
2
+
3
+ All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
4
+
5
+ ## [1.0.7] - 2026-02-21
6
+
7
+ ### Fixed
8
+ - **Langflow DataFrame**: Flatten each row to only primitive values (string, number, boolean) so Langflow's "List items must be either all Data objects or all dictionaries" validation passes. Nested objects are JSON-stringified.
9
+
10
+ ## [1.0.6] - 2026-02-21
11
+
12
+ ### Fixed
13
+ - **Langflow compatibility**: Removed `limit` and `offset` from tool input schemas (`list_skills`, `list_agents`, `list_flows`, etc.) to avoid validation errors when Langflow sends empty strings for optional numeric params.
14
+ - **DataFrame compatibility**: Added `toDataFrameSafe()` so tool outputs are normalized to lists of plain objects for Langflow's MCP Tools component.
15
+
16
+ ## [1.0.5] - 2026-02-20
17
+
18
+ ### Added
19
+ - **WO_AGENT_IDs**: Optional env var for a comma-separated list of default agent IDs. When the user omits `agent_id`/`agent_name` in tool calls, the first ID is used. Tools affected: `invoke_agent`, `execute_tool`, `list_agent_tools`, `get_agent`, `get_agent_chat_starter_settings`, `update_agent_chat_starter_settings`, `update_agent`, `update_agent_instructions_from_tools`, `assign_tool_to_agent`, `create_tool_and_assign_to_agent`.
20
+ - **WO_AGENT_ID** (single) remains supported for backwards compatibility.
21
+
22
+ ## [1.0.4] - 2026-02-20
23
+
24
+ ### Added
25
+ - Shebang (`#!/usr/bin/env node`) for correct bin execution via npx
26
+ - Cursor deep link and one-click install in README (shows "WxO Builder MCP Server")
27
+ - MCP Registry and cursor.directory links
28
+ - CHANGELOG.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and LICENSE links in README
29
+ - Version, date, and author in README
30
+ - Examples: Antigravity, Windsurf configs; `.vscode/mcp.json`, `.cursor/mcp.json`
31
+ - Directory listing copy (cursor.directory) section
32
+
33
+ ### Changed
34
+ - Server name: `io.github.markusvankempen/wxo-builder-mcp-server` (was wxo-builder)
35
+ - server.json description shortened for MCP Registry (≤100 chars)
36
+ - Extension mcpClient: config from `wxo-builder` (was watsonx-orchestrate)
37
+ - README: npx-first config, removed ADK references, troubleshooting section
38
+
39
+ ## [1.0.3] - 2026-02-20
40
+
41
+ ### Added
42
+ - npm package published; shebang fix for npx
43
+
44
+ ## [1.0.2] - 2026-02-20
45
+
46
+ ### Changed
47
+ - Repository URLs point to standalone repo

9
+ MCP server for IBM Watson Orchestrate (WXO). Manage tools, agents, connections, flows, and execute tools from Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Claude Desktop, Antigravity, Windsurf, or the WxO Builder extension.
10
+
11
+ [markusvankempen.github.io](https://markusvankempen.github.io) · [WxO Builder extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MarkusvanKempen.wxo-builder) · [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) · [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) · [LICENSE](LICENSE)
12
+
13
+ ## Architecture & Data Flow
14
+
15
+ This package has a **dual role**:
16
+
17
+ 1. **MCP protocol:** It acts as an **MCP server** — your AI environment (Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, Antigravity, Windsurf, etc.) is the MCP *client* that connects to it and calls tools.
18
+ 2. **Watson Orchestrate:** It acts as an **HTTP client** — it makes REST requests to your Watson Orchestrate instance. Watson Orchestrate never connects back to this process.
19
+
20
+ ```
21
+ ┌─────────────────────────────────┐ MCP protocol ┌──────────────────────────┐ HTTP (REST API) ┌─────────────────────────┐
22
+ │ MCP Client │ ◄──────────────────► │ WXO Builder MCP Server │ ───────────────────► │ Watson Orchestrate │
23
+ │ (Cursor, Claude Desktop, │ tool calls │ (this package) │ /v1/orchestrate/* │ instance │
24
+ │ Copilot, Antigravity, etc.) │ │ │ │ (your WO cloud/hosted) │
25
+ └─────────────────────────────────┘ └──────────────────────────┘ └─────────────────────────┘
26
+ ```
27
+
28
+ The MCP server exposes tools that proxy operations to Watson Orchestrate. When you invoke a tool (e.g. `list_skills`, `invoke_agent`), the server forwards the request to the Watson Orchestrate API and returns the result.
29
+
30
+ ## Related: WxO Builder Extension + MCP Server – a perfect combo
31
+
32
+ The **WxO Builder** extension and this **MCP Server** work together to create and administer Watson Orchestrate directly from your IDE. Use the extension for visual editing and the MCP server for AI-powered workflows (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.).

42
+ The extension provides visual tool creation, drag-and-drop agent editing, and local/remote testing. The MCP server exposes the same Watson Orchestrate capabilities to AI assistants in Cursor, Claude Desktop, Antigravity, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot.

+ - **npm** – Install `@markusvankempen/wxo-builder-mcp-server` (recommended)
83
+ - **MCP Registry** – [registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/?q=wxo-builder-mcp-server](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/?q=wxo-builder-mcp-server)
84
+ - **Standalone repo** – [github.com/markusvankempen/wxo-builder-mcp-server](https://github.com/markusvankempen/wxo-builder-mcp-server) for cloning just the MCP server
85
+ - **Devkit** – This package is also part of the [watsonx-orchestrate-devkit](https://github.com/markusvankempen/watsonx-orchestrate-devkit) at `packages/wxo-builder-mcp-server` (shared with the WxO Builder extension)
86
+
87
+ ## Install from npm
88
+
89
+ ```bash
90
+ npm install @markusvankempen/wxo-builder-mcp-server
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ ### One-click install in Cursor
94
+
95
+ **[Add to Cursor](cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=WxO%20Builder%20MCP%20Server&config=eyJXeE8gQnVpbGRlciBNQ1AgU2VydmVyIjp7ImNvbW1hbmQiOiJucHgiLCJhcmdzIjpbIi15IiwiQG1hcmt1c3ZhbmtlbXBlbi93eG8tYnVpbGRlci1tY3Atc2VydmVyIl0sImVudiI6eyJXT19BUElfS0VZIjoieW91ci1hcGkta2V5IiwiV09fSU5TVEFOQ0VfVVJMIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly95b3VyLWluc3RhbmNlLm9yY2hlc3RyYXRlLmlibS5jb20ifX19)** — Click to install (shows "WxO Builder MCP Server"). Then set `WO_API_KEY` and `WO_INSTANCE_URL` in Cursor MCP settings.
96
+
97
+ ## Quick Start
98
+
99
+ 1. **Set environment variables** (or use `.env`):
100
+
101
+ ```env
102
+ WO_API_KEY=<your_ibm_cloud_api_key>
103
+ WO_INSTANCE_URL=https://<your-instance-id>.orchestrate.ibm.com
104
+
105
+ # Optional: default agent(s) when user omits agent_id/agent_name (first is used)
106
+ WO_AGENT_IDs=agent-id-1,agent-id-2
107
+ # Or single agent (backwards compatible):
108
+ # WO_AGENT_ID=<your-agent-id>
109
+ ```
110
+
111
+ When `WO_AGENT_IDs` (comma-separated) or `WO_AGENT_ID` is set, tools use the first ID as default when the user does not specify an agent.
112
+
113
+ 2. **Configure your MCP client** – use `npx` so you never reference `.js` paths. Example for Cursor (`.cursor/mcp.json`):
114
+
115
+ ```json
116
+ {
117
+ "mcpServers": {
118
+ "watsonx": {
119
+ "command": "npx",
120
+ "args": ["-y", "@markusvankempen/wxo-builder-mcp-server"],
121
+ "env": {
122
+ "WO_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
123
+ "WO_INSTANCE_URL": "https://xxx.orchestrate.ibm.com"
124
+ }
125
+ }
126
+ }
127
+ }
128
+ ```
129
+
130
+ VS Code Copilot uses `servers` instead of `mcpServers`; same `command` and `args`:
131
+
132
+ ```json
133
+ {
134
+ "servers": {
135
+ "watsonx": {
136
+ "type": "stdio",
137
+ "command": "npx",
138
+ "args": ["-y", "@markusvankempen/wxo-builder-mcp-server"],
139
+ "env": {
140
+ "WO_API_KEY": "...",
141
+ "WO_INSTANCE_URL": "https://...orchestrate.ibm.com"
142
+ }
143
+ }
144
+ }
145
+ }
146
+ ```
147
+
148

+
163
+ ## Features (Parity with VS Code Extension)
164
+
165
+ ### OpenAPI Spec
166
+
167
+ - **`watson-orchestrate-openapi.json`** – OpenAPI 3.0 spec describing the Watson Orchestrate REST API used by this MCP server (tools, agents, connections, flows, runs). Use `get_api_spec` to retrieve it.
168
+ - **`get_api_spec`** – Returns the OpenAPI spec (full or summary). Use to discover what operations the Watson Orchestrate instance supports.
169
+
170
+ ### Tools (Skills)
171
+
172
+ - **`list_skills`** – List all tools in the catalog (default limit 100)
173
+ - **`list_tools_with_connections`** – List tools grouped by connection status (tools with connections vs standard tools). **Matches the extension Tools view.** Use for prompts like “list my Watson Orchestrate tools with active connections”.
174
+ - **`list_standard_tools`** – List only standard tools (no connections). Returns accurate count and list.
175
+ - **`get_skill`** – Get a tool by ID
176
+ - **`delete_skill`** – Delete a tool
177
+ - **`deploy_skill`** – Create a tool from OpenAPI spec. Set `openapi_spec["x-ibm-connection-id"]` to **bind a connection** to the tool
178
+ - **`deploy_tool_from_url`** – Create a tool from a URL. Handles (1) APIs with API key → auto-creates connection, (2) public APIs (REST Countries, Open-Meteo) → no auth.
179
+ - **`create_tool_and_assign_to_agent`** – Create a tool from URL and assign to agent in one step. `agent_id`/`agent_name` optional if `WO_AGENT_IDs` is set.
180
+ - **`assign_tool_to_agent`** – Assign a tool to an agent. `agent_id`/`agent_name` optional if `WO_AGENT_IDs` is set.
181
+ - **`update_skill`** – Update name, description, permission (binding/connection not editable after creation)
182
+ - **`copy_skill`** – Copy a tool. Use `new_name` (e.g. "MVKWeatherV2") to name the copy. Keeps connection and parameters. Names: letters, digits, underscores only.
183
+ - **`execute_tool`** – Execute a tool by name or ID. `agent_id` optional; uses first from `WO_AGENT_IDs` when omitted.
184
+
185
+ ### Agents
186
+
187
+ - **`list_agents`** – List all agents
188
+ - **`get_agent`** – Get agent by ID or name. `agent_id`/`agent_name` optional if `WO_AGENT_IDs` is set.
189
+ - **`get_agent_chat_starter_settings`** – Get welcome message and quick prompts. `agent_id`/`agent_name` optional if `WO_AGENT_IDs` is set.
190
+ - **`update_agent_chat_starter_settings`** – Update `welcome_message` and `quick_prompts`. `agent_id`/`agent_name` optional if `WO_AGENT_IDs` is set.
191
+ - **`list_agent_tools`** – List tools assigned to an agent with display names. `agent_id`/`agent_name` optional if `WO_AGENT_IDs` is set.
192
+ - **`create_agent`** – Create an agent. Pass `tools` array to **assign tools** to the agent
193
+ - **`update_agent`** – Update an agent. `agent_id`/`agent_name` optional if `WO_AGENT_IDs` is set.
194
+ - **`update_agent_instructions_from_tools`** – Auto-generate and set instructions from assigned tools. `agent_id`/`agent_name` optional if `WO_AGENT_IDs` is set.
195
+ - **`invoke_agent`** – Chat with an agent. `agent_id`/`agent_name` optional if `WO_AGENT_IDs` is set.
196
+ - **`delete_agent`** – Delete an agent
197
+
198
+ ### Connections
199
+
200
+ - **`list_connectors`** – List available connector catalog
201
+ - **`list_connections`** – List configured connections (scope: draft, live, all)
202
+ - **`list_active_live_connections`** – List only active and live connections (not tools), deduplicated. Use for "list all connections which are active and live, just the connections".
203
+ - **`get_connection`** – Get connection by app_id
204
+ - **`create_connection`** – Create a connection entry
205
+ - **`delete_connection`** – Delete a connection

209
+
210
+ - **`list_flows`**, **`get_flow`**, **`create_flow`**, **`delete_flow`**
211
+
212
+ ## Client Compatibility
213
+
214
+ The MCP server is tested and works with:
215
+
216
+ | Client | Config | Notes |
217
+ |--------|--------|------|
218
+ | **Cursor** | `examples/.cursor/mcp.json` | stdio, npx or node |
219
+ | **VS Code Copilot** | `examples/.vscode/mcp.json` | Use `servers` key, `type: "stdio"` |
220
+ | **Antigravity** | `examples/antigravity-mcp-config.json` | Add via Manage MCP Servers |
221
+ | **Langflow** | STDIO or JSON mode | Output flattened for DataFrame; list tools have no limit/offset params |
222
+
223
+ **Langflow:** Tool output is normalized to a list of flat dicts (primitive values only) so the MCP Tools component's DataFrame validation passes. Nested objects (e.g. `binding`, `input_schema`) are JSON-stringified. Cursor, VS Code, and Antigravity receive the same format and work identically.
224
+
225
+ **Verification:** Run `npm run test:integration` with `WO_API_KEY` and `WO_INSTANCE_URL` to validate core functionality. For Cursor/VS Code: add the server, ask "List my Watson Orchestrate tools" or "Which agents do I have?" For Langflow: add MCP server, connect MCP Tools to an Agent, run the flow.
226
+
227
+ ## Configuration
228
+
229
+ Set these environment variables (or use a `.env` file):
230
+
231
+ ```env
232
+ WO_API_KEY=<your_ibm_cloud_api_key>
233
+ WO_INSTANCE_URL=https://<your-instance-id>.orchestrate.ibm.com
234
+
235
+ # Optional: default agent(s) when user omits agent_id/agent_name (first is used)
236
+ WO_AGENT_IDs=agent-id-1,agent-id-2
237
+ ```
238
+
239
+ See [Quick Start](#quick-start) for full details on `WO_AGENT_IDs` and `WO_AGENT_ID`.
240
+
241
+ ## Troubleshooting
242
+
243
+ **"Process exited with code 2" / "MCP server could not be started"**
244
+
245
+ 1. **Ensure credentials are set** – `WO_API_KEY` and `WO_INSTANCE_URL` must be in your MCP config `env` block or in a `.env` file.
246
+ 2. **Verify the server runs manually** – From a terminal:
247
+ ```bash
248
+ WO_API_KEY=your-key WO_INSTANCE_URL=https://xxx.orchestrate.ibm.com npx -y @markusvankempen/wxo-builder-mcp-server
249
+ ```
250
+ It should start and wait. Press Ctrl+C to exit.
251
+ 3. **Check Node version** – Requires Node.js 18+.
252
+ 4. **WxO Builder extension** – Ensure **API Key** and **Instance URL** are set in extension settings (search `wxo-builder` in VS Code settings).
253
+
254
+ ## Running Locally
255
+
256
+ ```bash
257
+ npm install
258
+ npm run build
259
+ node dist/index.js
260
+ ```
261
+
262
+ ## Integration Tests
263
+
264
+ The test suite validates MCP parity with the extension using **user-style test questions**. See [`tests/README.md`](tests/README.md) for full documentation. Test questions are defined in `tests/test-questions.ts` – add new ones to extend validation.
265
+
266
+ ```bash
267
+ # With WO credentials (runs all 4 tests)
268
+ WO_API_KEY=... WO_INSTANCE_URL=... npm run test:integration
269
+
270
+ # Without WO credentials (runs local execution test only)
271
+ npm run test:integration
272
+ ```
273
+
274
+ **Test questions:** List live connections | Copy tool with new name | List standard tools | Create MVKWeather from URL | Execute locally (Toronto) | Execute remotely | Agent chat (Toronto weather) | Exchange rate (TimeWeatherAgent) | Create REST Countries and assign to TimeWeatherAgent | List agent tools
275
+
276
+ ## Assigning Tools to Agents
277
+
278
+ Use `create_agent` or `update_agent` with a `tools` array of tool IDs:
279
+
280
+ ```json
281
+ {
282
+ "name": "My Agent",
283
+ "description": "...",
284
+ "model_id": "groq/openai/gpt-oss-120b",
285
+ "instructions": "...",
286
+ "tools": ["tool-id-1", "tool-id-2"]
287
+ }
288
+ ```
289
+
290
+ ## Assigning Connections to Tools
291
+
292
+ When deploying a tool with `deploy_skill`, include `x-ibm-connection-id` in the OpenAPI spec (or the connection’s app_id) to bind a connection:
293
+
294
+ ```json
295
+ {
296
+ "tool_spec": { "name": "my_tool", "description": "..." },
297
+ "openapi_spec": {
298
+ "openapi": "3.0.1",
299
+ "info": { "title": "My Tool", "version": "1.0.0" },
300
+ "x-ibm-connection-id": "YOUR_APP_ID",
301
+ "paths": { ... }
302
+ }
303
+ }
304
+ ```
305
+
306
+ ## Editor configuration (VS Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Antigravity, Windsurf)
307
+
308
+ **Important:** MCP config does **not** go in VS Code `settings.json`. Use the correct config file for your editor.
309
+
310
+ ### VS Code (with GitHub Copilot)
311
+
312
+ Config file: **`.vscode/mcp.json`** (workspace) or run **MCP: Open User Configuration** for global. Use `npx` (no .js path needed):
313
+
314
+ ```json
315
+ {
316
+ "servers": {
317
+ "watsonx": {
318
+ "type": "stdio",
319
+ "command": "npx",
320
+ "args": ["-y", "@markusvankempen/wxo-builder-mcp-server"],
321
+ "env": {
322
+ "WO_API_KEY": "...",
323
+ "WO_INSTANCE_URL": "https://...orchestrate.ibm.com"
324
+ }
325
+ }
326
+ }
327
+ }
328
+ ```
329
+
330
+ ### Cursor
331
+
332
+ Config file: **`.cursor/mcp.json`** (project) or `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (global). Uses `mcpServers` (not `servers`). Same `command` and `args` as above.
333
+
334
+ ### Antigravity (Google)
335
+
336
+ Open **Manage MCP Servers → View raw config** and add the `watsonx` entry from `examples/antigravity-mcp-config.json` to your `mcp_config.json`. Same `mcpServers` format as Cursor.
337
+
338
+ ### Windsurf (Codeium)
339
+
340
+ Config file: **`~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`** (macOS/Linux) or **`%USERPROFILE%\.codeium\windsurf\mcp_config.json`** (Windows). Use `examples/windsurf-mcp-config.json`. Same `mcpServers` format as Cursor. Restart Windsurf after changes.
341
+
342
+ ### Alternative: WxO Builder extension bundled server
343
+
344
+ If you installed the WxO Builder VSIX and want to use its bundled server (no npm install), use the extension path:
345
+
346
+ ```json
347
+ "command": "node",
348
+ "args": ["/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.vscode/extensions/markusvankempen.wxo-builder-0.0.6/server/dist/index.js"]
349
+ ```
350
+
351
+ ### Local build (devkit or standalone repo)
352
+
353
+ If you clone the devkit or the [standalone repo](https://github.com/markusvankempen/wxo-builder-mcp-server), build and run via `npx` using the package directory (no .js path):
354
+
355
+ ```bash
356
+ cd packages/wxo-builder-mcp-server # devkit
357
+ # or
358
+ cd wxo-builder-mcp-server # standalone repo
359
+
360
+ npm install && npm run build
361
+ ```
362
+
363
+ ```json
364
+ {
365
+ "servers": {
366
+ "watsonx": {
367
+ "type": "stdio",
368
+ "command": "npx",
369
+ "args": ["-y", "/path/to/wxo-builder-mcp-server"],
370
+ "env": {
371
+ "WO_API_KEY": "...",
372
+ "WO_INSTANCE_URL": "https://...orchestrate.ibm.com"
373
+ }
374
+ }
375
+ }
376
+ }
377
+ ```
378
+
379
+ ## Publishing (for maintainers)
380
+
381
+ ### Publish to npm
382
+
383
+ From the devkit or standalone repo:
384
+
385
+ ```bash
386
+ cd packages/wxo-builder-mcp-server # devkit
387
+ # or
388
+ cd . # standalone repo root
389
+
390
+ npm run build
391
+ npm publish --access public
392
+ ```
393
+
394
+ ### Publish to MCP Registry
395
+
396
+ 1. Install the MCP publisher CLI: `brew install mcp-publisher`
397
+ 2. Log in: `mcp-publisher login github`
398
+ 3. Update `server.json` version to match `package.json`
399
+ 4. Publish: `mcp-publisher publish`
400
+
401
+ The server will appear at [registry.modelcontextprotocol.io](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io) as `io.github.markusvankempen/wxo-builder-mcp-server`.
402
+
403
+ ## Implementation: TypeScript vs Node.js
404
+
405
+ This MCP server is written in **TypeScript** and compiled to JavaScript. It loads an OpenAPI spec (`watson-orchestrate-openapi.json`) for documentation and discovery.
406
+
407
+ **Why TypeScript for Watson Orchestrate:**
408
+
409
+ - Larger codebase (skills, agents, connections, flows, auth, models)
410
+ - Type safety for Watson Orchestrate’s varied API responses
411
+ - Easier to maintain and extend across multiple modules
