Clients and Compatibility

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the standard through which AI clients access tools. It defines how tools are described, called, and how results are returned. Over 100 clients support MCP already — from Claude to ChatGPT to Cursor.

Our schemas are based on MCP and work with any compatible client. You are not locked into any specific provider.

MCP Compatibility

Not every client can do everything. Capabilities depend on which MCP features the client supports:

LevelWhat is supportedNumber of ClientsExamples
Level 1: ToolsIndividual tool calls, Resources, Prompts46+ clientsClaude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Cline, Continue
Level 2+3: ElicitationEverything from Level 1 + Agent can ask follow-up questions16 clientsClaude Code, Claude Desktop, OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor, Postman
Custom CLICommand-line interfaces for direct accessFlowMCP CLI, OpenClaw PluginFor developers and automation

What the levels mean: Agents and Architectures →

As of: March 2026. Current list: modelcontextprotocol.io/clients

These 16 clients support Elicitation — the agent can ask follow-up questions for better answers:

  1. AIQL TUUI
  2. Claude Code
  3. Codex
  4. Cursor
  5. fast-agent
  6. Glama
  7. goose
  8. Joey
  9. mcp-agent
  10. mcp-use
  11. MCPJam
  12. Memgraph Lab
  13. Postman
  14. Tambo
  15. VS Code GitHub Copilot
  16. VT Code

Why elicitation matters: Agents and Architectures → Elicitation

Besides graphical clients, there are command-line interfaces that are particularly relevant for developers and automation.

The fastest way for developers to find schemas and try tools:

  • flowmcp list — Show all available schemas
  • flowmcp search <query> — Search schemas by keyword
  • flowmcp add <schema> — Activate a schema
  • flowmcp call <tool> '{...}' — Call a tool directly

Documentation: CLI Usage

OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant gateway with a plugin system. The special feature: Cron Jobs — recurring queries that run automatically. For example, a daily mobility recommendation every morning at 7:30 AM.
