Add my server

Install Workflow MCP in Continue

What you need first

  • Continue, installed.
  • Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
  • Your own value for YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY.

Steps

  1. Open ~/.continue/config.yaml. On Windows it is %USERPROFILE%\.continue\config.yaml.
  2. Add this entry. If the file already has mcpServers, add only the item from - name on.
mcpServers:
  - name: "workflow-mcp"
    type: stdio
    command: "docker"
    args:
      - "run"
      - "-i"
      - "--rm"
      - "-e"
      - "OPENAI_API_KEY"
      - "docker.io/juliusolsson/workflow-mcp@sha256:4b6889f9e78d0208e6d1d343ba23d0c5d092b1a1513a73c9c85deb2d00ab5855"
    env:
      "OPENAI_API_KEY": "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY"
  1. Replace YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY with your own value.
  2. Save the file and restart Continue.

Check it worked

Ask Continue: List the tools of workflow-mcp.

If it does not start

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon
Docker is not running. Start it, then restart Continue.
The server starts, but its tools fail
A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
Nothing changes after a restart
The file is not valid YAML any more. Check that the entry is indented like the lines around it.
