API keys need the $37 Pro plan, the trial needs a card, the key can travel in the URL, and self-serve content may be used to train Gumloop's models.\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### Gumloop\n\n1. Send the key as `Authorization: Bearer` and, for a personal key, add the `x-auth-key` header with the user ID. Do not put `api_key` in the URL\n2. Create sessions with `POST /agents/{agent_id}/sessions`, then poll `GET /sessions/{session_id}`. A 202 means processing or queued, and the reply is not in the response\n3. Supply your own `session_id` when creating a session. A repeat returns 409, which makes a retry safe\n4. For streamed output send the same body with `stream: true` to `ws.gumloop.com`. `api.gumloop.com` answers 400 to it\n5. Treat a webhook trigger URL as a password. It returns `{\"success\": true}` at once and never carries the agent's output\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## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Gumloop or Workato API + MCP?\n\nGumloop scores 61.6 (C) on agent readiness against Workato API + MCP's 58 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Workato API + MCP leads on security \u0026 auth, payments \u0026 pricing and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Gumloop and Workato API + MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Gumloop and Workato API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. Gumloop has a hosted endpoint at https://api.gumloop.com/api/v1 and Workato API + MCP at https://www.workato.com/api.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gumloop-vs-workato.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gumloop-vs-workato.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"gumloop\", \"b\": \"workato\"}`.
