Should I use Super Agent, Flow, Nodes, API, or MCP?

Choose the surface based on how defined and repeatable your work is.


Your goal

Best place to start

Complete a one-time or open-ended task

Super Agent

Repeat the same defined process

Flow

Run one model or utility directly

Nodes

Call Magica from your own software

API

Let an MCP-compatible AI client use Magica

MCP


Use Super Agent for outcomes


Choose Super Agent when you know the result you want but do not want to design every step. It can research, browse, work with files, create content, build code, use connected apps, and coordinate multiple tools.


Example: “Research five competitors, compare their positioning, and create an executive summary.”


Open Super Agent


Use Flow for repeatable processes


Choose Flow when the steps should run the same way each time. You connect models and utilities on a visual canvas, configure the inputs, and run the workflow again with new data.


Example: “For each product description, generate ad copy, an image, and a short video.”


Open Flow


Use Nodes for one direct model run


Choose Nodes when you already know the type of model or tool you need and do not need an agent or multi-step workflow.


Example: run an image generator, transcription model, LLM, or media utility directly.


Open Nodes


Use API or MCP for external access


Use the API when your application or backend should call Magica programmatically. Use MCP when a compatible AI client should discover and use Magica tools and workflows.


The public API and MCP surfaces focus on models, Nodes, and Flow workflows. Super Agent tasks are not exposed as a public API.
