How this flow runs

When

Every Hour

Schedule

Then 1

List Tools

MCP Client

Then 2

Filter

Continue only if a required MCP tool is missing from the returned list

Stop a run cleanly when a condition is not met. A filtered run is not a failure, so it never shows up as an error — inside a loop it skips just that item and keeps going.

Then 3

Send Email

Taskade

Filter is a step you add in the builder, in the same list as an app step — there is no separate scripting surface. All automation actions

What does this automation do?

Taskade checks the server’s tool list each hour and emails the owner only when a required tool is missing.

What can you do with it?

  • Verify a required tool still appears in the server inventory
  • Avoid routine messages when the connection is healthy
  • Alert an owner before dependent work reaches the missing tool

The Steps

This automation runs in 4 steps:

  1. When Schedule — Every Hour
  2. Then MCP Client — List Tools
  3. Then Filter — continue only when a required MCP tool is missing from the returned list
  4. Then Taskade — Send Email
