Nintex MCP

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

Nintex Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets supported large language model (LLM) clients connect to your Nintex tenant. MCP allows an LLM client to access Nintex tools and information. The Nintex MCP feature is available only when the feature is selected in the AI features for the tenant. For more information, see AI features.

Use the Nintex MCP page to copy the server URL, download the skills file, and view setup steps for supported clients, and review MCP tool history. After setup, you can ask your LLM client to complete tasks using Nintex MCP tools. For example, you can ask it to find workflow details, summarize information from connected Nintex assets, or answer questions about items in your Nintex tenant.
