Introducing MCP Nodes & Workflows in Gumloop

With MCP now baked into workflows and nodes, you can do more with the integrations you already use — and get access to new ones faster than ever.

What Is MCP?

At its core, MCP is a protocol that makes it easier for AI systems to understand, access, and call external APIs. In plain English? It standardizes how tools “talk” to each other so AI can act on your behalf more intelligently and flexibly.

Think of it like this: instead of waiting for us to hand-code every single action for every integration, MCP gives us a shared language that AI (and Gumloop) can use to plug into tools faster — and deeper. Check out this previous post on MCP.

Deeper (and easier to use) integrations

Gumloop offers a set of pre-built nodes for each integration like “read Slack messages” or “write to a canvas.” Useful, but limited to what we explicitly designed. Now with MCP nodes, you are no longer limited by these pre-built nodes.

You can drop in an integration like Salesforce and describe exactly what you want it to do in plain language. For example:

“Retrieve open opportunities worth more than 15K for accounts added this month

From there, Gummie, our native chatbot, takes you step by step through the building process so your node does exactly what you need it to do. Once completed, you can add it to any workflows just like any other node.

This level of specificity would’ve been nearly impossible to configure on a no-code platform. Now, it just works.

Behind the scenes, Gumloop uses MCP to dynamically generate a custom node complete with a Python script that handles your logic, talks to the integration, and returns exactly what you asked for. You don’t have to write a single line of code but under the hood, code is being written for you.

Here's a video walkthrough building an MCP node step by step:

New Integrations to Roll Out Faster

One of the biggest wins: you’ll see more integrations, more often. Because MCP provides a standardized way to describe tool functionality, we can connect to services faster — without rebuilding everything from scratch each time.

We're rolling this out with Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Jira, Salesforce, Reddit and Github. Expect a steady rollout of new integrations across your favorite platforms — 70+ are already in the pipeline.

Automate What You Need, Faster Than Ever

With MCP nodes:

• You get more done with fewer constraints. Deeper integrations, richer automation, and more natural ways to describe what you want.
• We can ship faster. Integrations, improvements, and features will now scale more easily across the platform.
  

This is about giving you the power to connect your tools in smarter, more meaningful ways — and about building workflows that keep up with how you actually work. We can't wait to see what you automate with this new power.
