Your own MCP server

You can add any remote MCP server as an app: a vendor’s, or one you run yourself. When it runs inside your network, Flowplane reaches it through your tunnel.

  1. Run your MCP server with the Streamable HTTP transport, inside your network.
  2. Put its address on the tunnel’s allow list.
  3. In the console, choose Add a custom app, pick Custom app (MCP) and paste the server’s address.
  4. Under Advanced options, choose the tunnel.
  5. Sign in, if the server asks for it: its own sign-in page, or a pasted token.
  6. Flowplane lists the server’s tools. Tick the ones agents may use, and add it to the library.
  • Only tools someone approved can be called.
  • A new tool stays blocked until someone reviews it. You choose what happens with new tools in the app’s settings.
  • A changed tool is suspended until someone approves the change.
  • A person decides whether a tool reads, changes or deletes.

From there it is an app like any other: permissions per person or team, ask first rules, and every call logged.

The organisation signs in once by default. Choose each person if every user should sign in with their own account on the server.
