Latenode

MCP Builder

Build with your AI agent. Run automatically in the cloud.

Connect Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex through MCP. Describe the work once; events in your apps start the saved workflow in Latenode, even after you close your agent.

Your agent builds it. You connect your apps, test, and activate. Latenode handles the cloud execution, with every step visible and editable.

Your request

Build a Latenode workflow: new HubSpot contact → research and qualify → update the CRM → save a Gmail draft.

Done. The workflow is in Latenode.

Five connected steps. Kept inactive for your review.

Describe it in Claude Code. Open and edit it in Latenode.

Cloud execution

Your apps trigger it. Latenode runs it.

A new contact in HubSpot. An email in Gmail. A file in Drive. Start with the event your team already works from.

Choose a built-in app trigger instead of running your own server or maintaining a webhook handler. Once connected, tested, and activated, your workflow runs in Latenode’s cloud.

HubSpot · New Contact

Triggers use instant events or polling, depending on the app and event.

No authoring session to keep open. No server to deploy or maintain.

What will you build?

Start with an app event. Finish with useful work.

The next lead, email, row, or document can start a process your team no longer has to repeat by hand.

Choose an example, then ask your agent to adapt the connections, rules, and outputs to your team.

Illustrative example

Give every new lead a researched first response.

Sales gets company context, a qualification reason, and a draft it can review.

Your brief
When a contact is created in HubSpot, research the company, qualify the lead, update the contact, and save an introductory email in Gmail.
App trigger

HubSpot · New Contact

A new CRM contact provides the email and company domain.

Result

Updated CRM contact + Gmail draft

Company research, fit assessment, and a personalized first email, ready for human review.

Lower repeat costs

Use AI to build. Spend tokens only where AI is needed.

Rules, formatting, and app actions can run as ordinary workflow logic. Latenode meters that execution in CPU seconds.

Your coding agent builds the route once. Each new app event runs the saved steps without asking a model to reason through the same routine again.

Illustrative example
Build with Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex

When a HubSpot contact is created, check the routing rule, format the contact details, and notify the right Slack channel.

Saved workflowRuns on incoming events
Workflow execution: CPU seconds

No model steps in this route

Add AI where it helps

The lead research, qualification, and email writing shown above use AI. Those model steps have additional usage; the surrounding app actions and rules do not need a model.

Additional model usage
AI steps and paid-provider services incur additional usage charges.

Workflows and AI agents

Set the steps. Or let an agent choose its tools.

Use a workflow for a known sequence. Use a cloud AI agent when each new contact may need a different lookup.

Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex can build either approach. Both start from an app event and run in Latenode after you activate them.

Illustrative example
Workflow

A lead follows the steps you set.

Research, qualify, update, draft: AI works at defined steps, and the workflow controls their order.

AI Agent

An agent chooses the research it needs.

Tools you configure

The cloud agent chooses from your configured tools to investigate the new contact, then saves its assessment to the CRM.

Apps, AI, and custom logic

Turn a new contact into a sales-ready brief.

Use the event’s contact ID, email, and company domain to connect research with the right CRM record and email draft.

Your builder agent can discover actions and their fields, then map outputs into the next step. You can inspect those mappings in the visual editor.

1,600+ app triggers

Visual control

See the workflow. Change it by hand or by prompt.

Open a node to inspect its condition, destination, or field mapping. Change it yourself, or ask Claude Code to update it.

Your team can follow the routing without reading generated code. Test changes in development while the published workflow keeps running.

Illustrative example
Claude Code

Route new HubSpot contacts with a high fit assessment to our priority sales queue. Keep the remaining contacts in the standard queue.

Cloud run history

Follow an app event through every step.

See what started a run, what each node received, and what it produced. The event, logs, and results stay together in Latenode’s cloud.

Open a run to inspect the data yourself, or ask your agent to help investigate it. Here, one new HubSpot contact becomes a qualified CRM record and a Gmail draft.

Illustrative example
Claude Code

Show me the cloud run for the new HubSpot contact and the draft it created.

A simpler way to automate customer reports

Hi Alex, I noticed Northstar builds software for growing teams. Would it be useful to explore automating customer reports across your apps?

Connect your agent

Connect your agent and start building.

Choose your client below and connect it to Latenode with MCP. Add the recommended builder skill, then describe your first workflow.

Start Free

Connection guide with four steps: create a token, configure your MCP client, install the recommended builder skill, and send a first workflow request.

  1. Create a Latenode token

    Open the MCP page in your Latenode account. Create a token, choose its name and expiry, and copy it when it appears.

    Open Latenode MCP
  2. Connect your client

    Replace YOUR_TOKEN_HERE in the command or configuration with your Latenode token before using it.

    Claude Code

    Run this command in your terminal. It makes the Latenode server available across your projects.

    Terminal command
    claude mcp add --transport http --scope user latenode https://platform-mcp.latenode.com/api/v1/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"

    In Claude Code, run /mcp to check the server status.

  3. Add the recommended builder skill

    Run this from your project folder and follow the installer prompts. The skill adds Latenode’s scenario-building instructions for supported coding agents, including Claude Code and Cursor.

    Terminal command
    npx skills add latenode-com/skills --skill latenode-scenario-builder

  4. Ask for your first workflow

    Paste this into your connected agent, or replace it with a task from your team.

    First request
    Build a Latenode workflow triggered by a new contact in HubSpot. Research the company, qualify the lead against my criteria, update the contact, and save a personalized introductory email as a Gmail draft. Ask me for the app connections, qualification criteria, and CRM fields to update. Keep the workflow inactive so I can inspect and test it first. Create drafts only; do not send emails.

    Connect HubSpot and Gmail in Latenode. Check the trigger, qualification criteria, and field mappings, then test the workflow. Activate it when you’re ready: new HubSpot contacts will start cloud runs, even after you close your agent.
