How to Set Up and Use Dify Tools MCP Converter

The Dify Tools MCP Converter is a Dify 1.0 plugin that converts your custom Dify tools' API endpoints into MCP-compatible APIs, enabling them to be accessed from any MCP client such as Cherry Studio, Claude, or Cursor. It supports both Streamable HTTP (recommended) and HTTP with SSE transports, and requires Dify version 1.2.0 or higher. Once installed, you configure endpoints in the Dify platform UI and simply copy the generated MCP URL into your MCP client.

Prerequisites

  • Dify platform version 1.2.0 or higher (self-hosted or cloud)
  • Existing Dify tools configured in your Dify workspace
  • An MCP client such as Cherry Studio, Claude Desktop, or Cursor
  • Access to the Dify plugin management page
1

Install the plugin via GitHub

In the Dify platform, navigate to the plugin management page. Choose to install via GitHub, enter the repository address, and select the version and package file.

# GitHub repository URL for installation:
https://github.com/junjiem/dify-plugin-mcp_compat_dify_tools
2

Handle plugin signature verification (if needed)

If you see 'plugin verification has been enabled, and the plugin you want to install has a bad signature', add the following line to your Dify .env file to allow unsigned plugins.

FORCE_VERIFYING_SIGNATURE=false
3

Add an endpoint and configure the tool list

After installation, open the plugin in Dify and add an API endpoint. Then add the Dify tools you want to expose via MCP to the tool list for that endpoint. Save the endpoint configuration.

4

Copy the MCP endpoint URL

After saving, Dify generates two MCP URLs: one for Streamable HTTP (recommended) and one for legacy HTTP with SSE. Copy the URL for your preferred transport.

5

Configure your MCP client with the endpoint URL

Paste the copied URL into your MCP client configuration. For Cherry Studio, add it in the MCP server settings. For other clients, add it as a remote MCP server URL.

6

Update tool list changes

If you modify the tool list for an existing endpoint, you must disable and then re-enable the endpoint in Dify for the changes to take effect.

Dify Tools MCP Converter Examples

Client configuration

Example MCP client config using the Streamable HTTP transport URL generated by the Dify plugin. Replace the URL with your actual Dify endpoint URL.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dify-tools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["dify-tools-mcp-converter"],
      "env": {
        "DIFY_ENDPOINT_URL": "https://your-dify-instance/mcp/your-endpoint-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Once Dify tools are exposed as MCP tools, MCP clients can discover and invoke them naturally.

- "List the available tools from my Dify workspace."
- "Use the Dify weather tool to get the current weather in Tokyo."
- "Run the document summarization tool from Dify on this text: ..."
- "Call the Dify search tool to find information about AI model context protocol."
- "Use my Dify data analysis tool to process this CSV data."

Troubleshooting Dify Tools MCP Converter

Plugin installation fails with 'bad signature' error

Add FORCE_VERIFYING_SIGNATURE=false to the end of your Dify .env configuration file. This allows installing plugins not listed in the Dify Marketplace. Restart Dify after making this change.

Tool list changes are not reflected in the MCP client

Modifications to the tool list for an existing endpoint only take effect after disabling and re-enabling the endpoint in the Dify plugin UI. After toggling, reconnect your MCP client to refresh the tool list.

MCP client cannot connect to the Dify endpoint URL

Ensure your Dify instance is accessible from the MCP client's network. For self-hosted Dify, check firewall rules and that the plugin's HTTP service is running. Use the Streamable HTTP transport URL rather than the SSE URL for better compatibility with modern MCP clients.
