Dify Workflow MCP Tool Server

A tool server for easy integration with Dify Workflow using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Features

  • MCP protocol implementation enabling bidirectional communication with Claude
  • Utilizes Dify Workflow as a tool
  • Dynamically retrieves and displays Dify Workflow parameters
  • Simple configuration using environment variables
  • NEW: Support for multiple Dify API keys

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 16 or higher
  • npm 7 or higher
  • Access rights to Dify Workflow (API Key)

Integration with Claude Desktop App

To use with Claude Desktop App, add the following settings to Claude's configuration file:

Windows

Add to %AppData%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dify-workflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@tonlab/dify-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "DIFY_BASE_URL": "https://your-dify-endpoint",
        "DIFY_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using Multiple API Keys (NEW)

You can now configure multiple Dify API keys, which will create multiple tools (one per API key):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@tonlab/dify-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "DIFY_BASE_URL": "https://api.dify.ai/v1",
        "DIFY_API_KEYS": "app-FirstAPIKeyHere,app-SecondAPIKeyHere,app-ThirdAPIKeyHere"
      }
    }
  }
}

Each API key will be exposed as a separate tool in Claude, with a distinct number appended to the tool name.

macOS/Linux

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dify-workflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@tonlab/dify-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "DIFY_BASE_URL": "https://your-dify-endpoint",
        "DIFY_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Same multiple API key configuration as described above works on macOS/Linux as well.

FAQ

What is the Dify Workflow MCP server?
Dify Workflow is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
How are reviews shown for Dify Workflow?
This profile displays 10 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.5 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.
