How do I connect my assistant with my workflow? I don't see how these two things are connected or a way to connect them in the dashboard? Also, how do i connect my workflow tool to an MCP server? workflow tool steps do not allow selecting an MCP server tool. I've combed the docs but dont see anything covering these items

hey, so i was also facing the same problem. Earlier, they had an option to connect an assistant with a workflow in the gui but now they don't. After getting stuck for almost a week I found the solution. It was right in-front of me. When we use vapi.start() method, it expects, as far as I remember 5 arguments out of which you need to fill all as undefined except the 3rd one. The 3rd argument accepts a workflow-id.

Hi marc.lp, To connect your assistant with a workflow, make sure you're using the updated assistant schema. You can find the recent changes [here](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2025/5/17). For connecting your workflow tool to an MCP server, follow these steps: 1. Get an MCP server URL from your provider (like Zapier or Composio). 2. Set up an MCP tool in the Vapi Dashboard and include the server URL. 3. Add this tool to your assistant in the Dashboard and publish the changes. If you're having trouble seeing options in the Dashboard, check that your environment variables are set correctly and your assistant configuration is updated. Let me know if you need more help.
