Current Integration Issue: There are currently limitations with setting
custom headers in the Gumloop MCP server configuration, which may prevent
proper authentication with Membit’s API. We are working to resolve this issue.
Prerequisites

Click Create Flow to start building a new workflow from scratch.
3
Add Your First Node
Click Add your first node to begin building your workflow logic.

4
Search for Ask AI
In the node search bar, type “Ask AI” to find the AI conversation node.

5
Configure Ask AI Node
Select the Ask AI node and configure it with these settings:
Basic Configuration:
Advanced Options:

- Prompt: “Tell me about crypto news using membit” (or your preferred query)
- AI Model: Choose “Claude 4 Sonnet” or your preferred model

- Click “Show more options”
- Set “Connect MCP server” to Yes
- Choose MCP servers: Select the “membit-mcp” you created earlier
