# CC Workflow Studio
**You think visually. AI thinks in `.md`. CC Workflow Studio speaks both.**
Design workflows on a canvas. Export as Markdown your AI agent already understands. No more prompt-guessing.

## Use it without VSCode, too
The VSCode extension is the most ergonomic editor, but it isn't the only entry point. The same `workflow.json` drives a CLI and an MCP server — pick whichever interface fits the situation.
```mermaid

Wf(["workflow.json"])

end
subgraph Mcp["🔌 MCP Server"]

McpServer["@cc-wf-studio/mcp
(stdio: ccwf-mcp)"]
AIClient --> McpServer
end
subgraph Cli["💻 CLI"]
CliBin["@cc-wf-studio/cli

end

| Interface | Try it | Best for | Docs |
|---|---|---|---|
| **VSCode extension** | `code --install-extension breaking-brake.cc-wf-studio` | Designing workflows visually | [`packages/vscode`](./packages/vscode/README.md) |
| **CLI (`ccwf`)** | `npx @cc-wf-studio/cli --help` | Terminal / CI / SSH / Codespaces — render, validate, preview, export, run a workflow without VSCode | [`packages/cli`](./packages/cli/README.md) |
| **MCP server (`ccwf-mcp`)** | Add to your MCP client's `.mcp.json` so Claude Code (or any MCP client) can read and edit workflows over stdio | Letting an external AI client read and edit your workflows through MCP tools | [`packages/mcp`](./packages/mcp/README.md) |
There is no "VSCode-only" path: a workflow you draw in the canvas is the same file `ccwf preview` will render in a browser, and the same file an external Claude Code can edit through MCP.

✨ Edit with AI: AI agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.) create workflows through natural language via MCP Server
---
▶️ Run workflows directly from the editor – See your AI automation in action instantly

## Key Features
🔀 **Visual Workflow Editor** - Intuitive drag-and-drop canvas for designing AI agent orchestrations without code
🤖 **Agentic Engineering** - Design multi-agent workflows with Sub-Agent orchestration, Agent Skills, and MCP tool integration — the building blocks of agentic engineering
✨ **Edit with AI** - Iteratively improve workflows through conversational AI - ask for changes, add features, or refine logic with natural language feedback
⚡ **One-Click Export & Run** - Export workflows to ready-to-use formats and run directly from the editor
## How to Use
### Launch the Extension
- Click the
icon in the top-right corner of the editor
- Or: Command Palette (`Cmd+Shift+P`) → **"CC Workflow Studio: Open Editor"**
### Create a Workflow
- Add nodes from the palette and configure their settings, or use [Edit with AI](#edit-with-ai).
### Save & Load
- Click Save
button in the toolbar to store your workflow as `.vscode/workflows/*.json`
- Click Load
button in the toolbar to open a saved `.json` workflow
### Export & Run
- Click Export
button in the toolbar to create a `.md` slash command or agent skill (use `/workflow-name` in AI coding agents)
- Click Run
button in the toolbar to run your workflow directly in AI coding agents
### Edit with AI
- Click Edit with AI
button in the toolbar to generate or refine workflows with natural language
- **Native with MCP Server**: Click an AI agent button in the Edit with AI panel to launch native AI editing. The MCP server starts automatically behind the scenes.
