Nintex MCP Tools

Important: Nintex MCP is currently in beta. For more information, see the Nintex Beta terms document.

MCP tools let an MCP-compatible client work with Nintex data and actions, such as tasks, tables, solutions, users, groups, workflows, workflow instances, and forms. The tools available depend on your Nintex role and permissions. Tools that you are not authorized to use are not shown in your MCP client.

Permission behavior

MCP tools follow the signed-in user's Nintex access. A tool may be available to a user, but the requested action can still fail if the user does not have permission to access the selected workflow, table, solution, user, group, or form. When a tool changes Nintex data, review the request before confirming the action.
