This guide demonstrates how to [use Langflow as an MCP client](/mcp-client) by using the **MCP Tools** component to run a [DataStax Astra DB MCP server](https://github.com/datastax/astra-db-mcp) in an agent flow.
1. Install an LTS release of [Node.js](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm).

2. Create an [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/) API key.
3. Create an [Astra DB Serverless (Vector) database](https://docs.datastax.com/en/astra-db-serverless/databases/create-database.html#create-vector-database), if you don't already have one.

To use `npx` server commands, you must first install an LTS release of [Node.js](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm). If you run Langflow in Docker, install Node.js inside the container image and rebuild so that `npx`-based MCP servers are available at runtime. For more information, see [Package management](/develop-application#package-management).
