Gflow cli: MCP server, setup and security

Gflow cli is an open-source MCP server that lets an AI agent generate images and videos through Google Flow using your account. Its repository has 332 stars and its last commit is from October 24, 2026 and it is licensed under MIT.

Actively maintained

What Gflow cli does

According to its repository: “Drive Google Flow with your Google account: Veo text-to-video, image-to-video and clip extension, Imagen text-to-image, reusable characters and scenes.”

An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. Gflow cli is listed under Image, video and audio, a category of 67 servers in the directory, where it ranks #12 by stars.

Topics declared by the repository: agentic, ai-agents, claude-code, cli, generative-ai, google-flow.

Installing and connecting Gflow cli

Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:

  • PyPI package (Python, started with uvx or pip)

Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: Python. Listed systems: macOS, Windows, Linux.

Security: what to check

An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.

None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to Gflow cli. That does not replace reading the code.

Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.

Project activity and maintenance

Created on May 9, 2026, the ffroliva/gflow-cli repository has 332 stars and 95 forks, with 30 open issues. It has more stars than 84% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 0.89.1 (October 24, 2026).

Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
