What it does
Serve is an agent skill from ccplugins/awesome-claude-code-plugins. Wire a compiled rote pipeline up as an MCP tool so Claude can trigger the deployed workflow directly. Use when the user says "register my compiled pipeline", "serve my pipelines over MCP", "trigger the workflow from Claude", "hook the pipeline up to Claude", or asks what to do after rote compile and deployment. Covers rote register and rote serve plus the claude mcp add wiring.
Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Awesome Claude Code plugins — a curated list of slash commands, subagents, MCP servers, and hooks for Claude Code. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The deployed workflow directly
- The user says register my compiled pipeline
- Serve my pipelines over MCP
- Trigger the workflow from Claude
Example prompts
- “register my compiled pipeline”
- “serve my pipelines over MCP”
- “trigger the workflow from Claude”
- “/serve”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5bd4f16. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uvxclaudepythonwrangler
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Serve loads about 993 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 381 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- Wire a compiled rote pipeline up as an MCP tool so Claude can trigger the deployed workflow directly. Use when the user says "register my compiled pipeline", "serve my pipelines over MCP", "trigger the workflow from Claude", "hook the pipeline up to Claude", or asks what to do after `rote compile` and deployment. Covers `rote register` and `rote serve` plus the `claude mcp add` wiring.
Serve compiled pipelines as MCP tools
rote serve is one MCP server exposing every registered pipeline as a
callable tool. The flow:
rote compile → deploy the runtime → rote register → rote serve → call from Clauderote serve triggers deployed workflows; it does not host them.
MCP triggering supports the dbos (default), temporal, and
cloudflare runtimes.
The CLI ships on PyPI as rote-cli with an executable named rote,
so every invocation is uvx --from rote-cli rote <args> (never
uvx rote-cli ...). For unreleased features, substitute the source:
uvx --from git+https://github.com/trevhud/rote rote <args>.
1. Check preconditions
- A compile output directory exists (contains
compiled/pipeline.yaml). - The runtime side is running: for DBOS, the emitted app in worker mode
(
python main.py --serveordbos start) against the system database you'll register — enqueued runs sit in statusenqueueduntil that process exists; for Temporal, a worker against the user's cluster; for Cloudflare,wrangler deploydone. If not, stop and help with that first.
2. Register the pipeline
# DBOS (the default). System DB URL: --system-database-url, else
# $DBOS_SYSTEM_DATABASE_URL, else the emitted app's SQLite file
# (derived from <out-dir>/runtime/dbos/main.py).
uvx --from rote-cli rote register <out-dir>
# Temporal (defaults: localhost:7233, namespace "default",
# task queue = pipeline.name, workflow type = the emitted versioned name)
uvx --from rote-cli rote register <out-dir> --runtime temporal
# Cloudflare
uvx --from rote-cli rote register <out-dir> --runtime cloudflare \
--url https://<worker>.workers.devThis upserts ~/.rote/registry.json. Re-registering updates in place.
After re-compiling a changed skill, register again — the DBOS and
Temporal workflow names are derived from the pipeline content hash and
must stay in sync with the emitted code.

3. Add the MCP server to Claude
rote serve needs the serve extra (FastMCP) plus dbos when any
registered pipeline runs on DBOS, so the spec includes both:
claude mcp add --scope user rote -- uvx --from 'rote-cli[serve,dbos]' rote serveFor unreleased features, use the GitHub source instead:
claude mcp add --scope user rote -- \
uvx --from 'rote-cli[serve,dbos] @ git+https://github.com/trevhud/rote' rote serveVerify with claude mcp list. Each registry entry becomes two tools
(three for DBOS): <name> (starts a run, returns {workflow_id, status: "started"} immediately — compiled pipelines run minutes to
days), <name>_status (polls a run by workflow_id), and for DBOS
<name>_signal (resumes a run parked at a HITL gate: workflow_id +
gate signal name + resume payload — so Claude can deliver approvals
itself). A DBOS run whose status stays enqueued means the emitted app
process isn't running against the registered system database.
4. Explain the reconnect caveat
A running rote serve picks up registry changes live — no restart of
the server, ever. But clients differ:
- Claude Code refreshes its tool list on the server's
list_changednotification: newly registered pipelines appear immediately. - Claude Desktop and claude.ai snapshot tools at connect time. A pipeline registered while they're connected appears only after a reconnect — restart Desktop or toggle the server off/on; on claude.ai, re-enable the connector.
Tell the user this proactively if they plan to use Desktop or claude.ai.
