How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{ “onenote”: { “transport”: “streamable_http”, “url”: “https://yourmcpserver.example/pathtothemcp/url" } }

Once configured, the AI agent is now able to use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities. Remember to change “onenote” to whatever the actual name of your MCP server is and replace the URL with your own MCP server URL.

Overview

Based on the above, the onenote MCP Server provides a basic overview and setup instructions, but lacks documentation or implementation of prompts, resources, and tools. This limits its immediate utility for developers seeking rich MCP integrations.

MCP Score

Rating: 2/10

This MCP server scores low due to the lack of tools, prompt templates, resources, and explicit licensing. The only available information is the overview and generic setup instructions. For production or development use, significant enhancements and documentation would be required.
