zeekay 94741a8363 refactor(rebrand): sweep the remaining langflow — env vars, identifiers, stragglers
Completes the rebrand per direction: LANGFLOW_/LANGFLOW -> FLOW_/FLOW (env vars,
headers), langflow_ -> flow_ (settings fields, local vars), camelCase identifiers
(LangflowClient/Logo/HTTPError, builtWithLangflow, getLangflowDesktop) -> Flow*,
and all remaining bare tokens. Fixed the identifier-space hazard (Langflow ->
'Hanzo Flow' is prose-only; in code it collapses to Flow so no identifier gains a
space). compileall of flow + lfx is clean.

Repo-wide langflow now = 4, all the protected MIT attribution to langflow-ai/
langflow in README (legally required; deliberately preserved).

Breaking (per no-backwards-compat / forward-perfection): the LANGFLOW_* env-var
prefix is now FLOW_* — deployments must update their env. CI's uv + frontend
build is the runtime gate.

title: Hanzo Flow MCP Client for coding agents
slug: /flow-mcp-client
---
import Icon from "@site/src/components/icon";
Connect coding agents such as **Bob (IBM)** and **Claude Code** to a Hanzo Flow instance so they can build and run flows over MCP.
This page describes the <Icon name="Terminal" aria-hidden="true"/> **Hanzo Flow MCP Client** entry in **Settings**. It is different from Hanzo Flow's other MCP options.
* [**Use Hanzo Flow as an MCP client**](/mcp-client): Use the **MCP Tools** component in flows so agent components _on the canvas_ can call external MCP servers or Hanzo Flow MCP URLs.
* [**Use Hanzo Flow as an MCP server**](/mcp-server): Use the **MCP Servers** page in Hanzo Flow to expose your Hanzo Flow project as an MCP server to desktop clients such as Cursor or Windsurf.
## Connect Bob (IBM) or Claude Code
To connect Hanzo Flow to a coding agent, do the following:
1. Click your profile icon, select **Settings**, and then click <Icon name="Terminal" aria-hidden="true"/> **Hanzo Flow MCP Client**.
2. Select the coding agent you want to connect to Hanzo Flow, and follow the steps shown in the UI.
All client configurations run `lfx-mcp` with `uvx`, and set `FLOW_SERVER_URL` to your Hanzo Flow server URL and `FLOW_API_KEY` to a Hanzo Flow API key of your choice.
* To connect to **Bob (IBM)**, paste the configuration JSON into `~/.bob/settings/mcp_settings.json`, or use **Edit Project MCP** for a project-only setup.
* To connect to **Claude Code**, run the `claude mcp add` command shown on the page, or manually add the JSON configuration to `~/.claude.json`.
If you do not set `FLOW_API_KEY`, the coding agent can log in with the Hanzo Flow username and password you use to sign in to the Hanzo Flow web UI for that server.
