Docs say API keys come from the platform dashboard in Platform and Enterprise editions, while the pricing page lists the API on every plan.\n\n**Workato API + MCP.** API client tokens scoped by role and project, with legacy full-access keys removed on 14 October 2025. No OpenAPI file and no official SDK on npm or PyPI.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Activepieces API + MCP\n\n1. Run `ap_validate_flow` before publishing a flow\n2. Use `ap_search_actions` with a plain task description rather than listing pieces\n3. Turn off the Flow Building and Tables groups for a project the agent should only read\n4. Page with `limit` and `cursor` and stop when `next` is null\n5. Cloud runs stop at 10 minutes of active time. Waits and approvals don't count\n\n### Workato API + MCP\n\n1. Use the base URL for the workspace's data centre, and app.trial.workato.com for Free or Pro\n2. Give the agent an API client whose role lists only the endpoints it needs. The MCP server exposes those as tools\n3. Repeat or cancel at most 25 jobs per call and no more than one call a second\n4. Send an `x-correlation-id` on each call so failures can be traced in support tickets\n5. Every action step in a recipe is a task, so collapse loops before running at volume\n\n## Other comparisons with Activepieces API + MCP or Workato API + MCP\n\n- [Activepieces API + MCP vs Make API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/activepieces-vs-make.md)\n- [Activepieces API + MCP vs n8n API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/activepieces-vs-n8n.md)\n- [Activepieces API + MCP vs Paragon ActionKit + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/activepieces-vs-paragon.md)\n- [Activepieces API + MCP vs Pipedream API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/activepieces-vs-pipedream.md)\n- [Activepieces API + MCP vs Tray.ai API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/activepieces-vs-tray.md)\n- [Activepieces API + MCP vs Windmill API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/activepieces-vs-windmill.md)\n- [Make API + MCP vs Workato API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/make-vs-workato.md)\n- [n8n API + MCP vs Workato API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/n8n-vs-workato.md)\n- [Pipedream API + MCP vs Workato API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pipedream-vs-workato.md)\n- [Tray.ai API + MCP vs Workato API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/tray-vs-workato.md)\n- [Windmill API + MCP vs Workato API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/windmill-vs-workato.md)\n- [Paragon ActionKit + MCP vs Workato API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/paragon-vs-workato.md)\n",
