MCP – open linqi to AI assistants and agents
Artificial intelligence is only useful if it can access your real data – not generalized example questions. With the linqi MCP server, your linqi environment is made available to AI assistants and agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Processes, start options and dashboards are then available as structured tools that an assistant can understand and use purposefully. The available tools range from listing all processes and dashboards through reading details and start options to starting processes and refreshing individual instances – each function is available as a clear tool your assistant can call precisely.
Access runs through you personally: you generate a personal access key in your linqi user profile and download the associated connection file. With these details you connect your AI assistant – and from then on it acts with your rights and only within the scope of what you are allowed to do. This brings AI insight into your workflows without opening linqi to the outside world uncontrolled.
From model to application – linqi as a tool for AI
MCP is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to tools and data sources. linqi implements this standard with its own MCP server: it provides tools to list processes and read their start options, start processes, retrieve details of running process instances, list dashboards and read their contents and key figures. Every request runs through your personal access key, which you generate in the linqi user profile and can remove at any time. This keeps the AI connection personal, traceable and tied to your rights – your assistant sees what you see and can access it within your authorization.
How you connect your AI assistant to linqi
- Generate an access key:
You generate a personal MCP access key in your user profile for linqi. - Download the connection file:
linqi provides you with a file containing the connection details you pass to your assistant. - Connect the assistant:
Your AI assistant uses the connection details to connect to the linqi MCP server. - Work with your rights:
The assistant lists processes and dashboards, reads details and starts processes – always with your rights.
This turns linqi into a source that AI tools can access purposefully – instead of screenshots or manual filing.
