1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.

I am using llm to craete workflow dsl for me, so the whole lifecycle of a workflow (create, execute and delete) can be controlled over API endpoints, in other word, use dify itself as an agent. But I found dify workflow APIs are not officially supported, and I have to use Bearer token from a login session to use these api. If this can be done, I think we can have (or partially have) a fully automatic agent workflow similar to Manus

2. Additional context or comments

The apis are already there like: https://cloud.dify.ai/console/api/apps/imports https://cloud.dify.ai/console/api/apps/id/workflows/publish https://cloud.dify.ai/console/api/apps/id/api-keys DELET https://cloud.dify.ai/console/api/apps/id Maybe we can expose more components of dify using a system api key for eaiser access.

3. Can you help us with this feature?

• [ ] I am interested in contributing to this feature.

+1 I wish we could have an API to create and modify workflows exposed

[mendybraun]

@crazywoola any plans for this feature?

[jackyckma]

+1 I also hope that the "workflow API" includes updating the workflow. Then it's possible to build an MCP server to create workflow, like this: https://github.com/leonardsellem/n8n-mcp-server

[crazywoola]

Nope, Afaik, we do not have a plan for this.
