Introduction
The Flowcore MCP Servers provide a powerful bridge between your local environment and the Flowcore platform, enabling you to seamlessly query and interact with your own data—such as that from Globe Tracker.
What Are MCP Servers?
Section titled “What Are MCP Servers?”MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers are lightweight, local servers that act as intermediaries between your tools (like LLMs or IDEs) and the Flowcore platform. By running an MCP server, you can securely access, ingest, and query your organization’s data without exposing sensitive credentials or relying on external services.
