stroblme 1b5a16f636 Assistant streams its answer token by token
ai/client.py streams the completion and puts the chunks back together
(Assembler), covering OpenAI's piecewise tool-call arguments, Ollama's whole
calls, OpenRouter's comment lines, unnumbered calls and in-stream errors.
The turn emits a delta event per piece and a message per round as before,
and the chat grows the last answer as deltas arrive.

Agents over MCP

Fluksio exposes flow tools over MCP. An agent can inspect, edit, publish, and run flows with the permissions of the user who authorizes it.

Connect an agent

Set MCP_ENABLED=true in the engine's environment and restart it. The Python package defaults to off; the Docker template enables it.

Configure your MCP client with an HTTP endpoint:

  • Local Docker stack: http://api.localhost/mcp
  • Deployment: https://api.<your-domain>/mcp

The client registers, opens browser authorization, and receives an OAuth token after you approve access. The issuer and browser redirects use DOMAIN, ENVIRONMENT, and FRONTEND_HOST, so configure those for the addresses your client and browser can reach.

Manage registered clients under Admin → Agents. Revoking a client invalidates its access. MCP uses a separate signing key at OAUTH_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE; rotating that key invalidates all MCP tokens.

An instance connected to a portal also answers through it, at https://hub.fluksio.com/i/<instance-id>/mcp (the portal's own hub. host for a custom one). The portal forwards the endpoint and its OAuth, and the instance checks the agent's token as it does locally. The consent page opens in the instance as the portal serves it, so open the instance from the portal first if this browser has not recently.

Available tools

Task Tools
Inspect flows list_flows, get_flow, get_node_source, list_node_types, get_graph, list_shared_nodes
Inspect values get_flow_state, get_message_history
Inspect the instance list_secrets (names only), get_modules, get_health, get_metrics, list_failures, list_runs (live cascades)
Edit flows save_flow, save_node_source, validate_flow, publish_flow, discard_draft, delete_flow
Operate flows run_flow, trigger_node, start_flow, stop_flow, pause_flow, resume_flow, cancel_node
Install node packages apply_modules

Tools call the same API as the browser. Drafts, validation, version checks, and superuser restrictions apply. Secrets cannot be read back.

A useful workflow: ask the agent to inspect the flow, save a draft, and validate it. Review the draft before asking it to publish. The agent has a publish tool, so make your intent explicit.

The assistant

A superuser configures an OpenAI-compatible provider under Settings → Assistant, with a base URL, API key, and model. This enables the dashboard's Assistant entry for signed-in users.

The assistant uses the same tools with your own permissions. Draft edits appear in the editor. Each answer streams in as the model writes it and renders as markdown with a tool trace. Conversations are stored per user on the instance; the bin button clears yours. MCP_ENABLED is only needed for external clients, so the built-in assistant works without it.

Control

A live Wren node with both prompt and actions wired adds a Control tab to the chat. It uses the node's local model and needs no assistant provider.

Choose a node, type a command, and inspect the reported actions: target message, value, confidence, and whether each action was applied. The node's apply and min_confidence settings decide whether it writes to devices. Control conversations stay in the browser and clear on reload.
