What Nimblio really runs

Every action below does real work on your PC, from tidying folders to filling in web forms. Mix them in one workflow and start it the way that suits you.

Browser actions use the Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome already installed on your PC. Nothing extra is downloaded. See every action and its settings, or start from a template.

Watch it run, step by step

Press Run and the line fills as each action finishes. A banner shows progress with Stop, and the run log says what each step did, in plain words.

If something fails, the failed action is selected and the side panel explains what happened and how to fix it. Fix in editor takes you straight there from the run history.

MCP server

Build workflows with Claude

Nimblio ships with Nimblio.Mcp.exe, a Model Context Protocol server. An assistant such as Claude can read the action library and your workflows, then create or fix workflows from a request in plain words.

Connect it in one step

In Nimblio, open Settings → AI assistants:

  • Claude Desktop: Add to Claude Desktop writes the entry for you and keeps a backup of your settings.
  • Claude Code: copy the claude mcp add nimblio command shown there.
  • Other MCP apps: copy the JSON configuration.

When the assistant saves a workflow, Nimblio shows “Claude created …” with an Open button.

Rules the server enforces

  • Everything it creates or changes is saved turned off. Nothing starts by itself until you have looked at it.
  • It can’t run, turn on or delete a workflow. Running is always your click in Nimblio.
  • Invalid input, such as an unknown action or a value outside the allowed list, is refused with an explanation, and nothing is saved.
  • It runs locally over standard input and output. Nothing is exposed to the network.

Safe by default

Built not to surprise you

Automation touches your files and apps, so Nimblio is careful in the places where mistakes cost the most.

Recycle Bin first

Deleted files go to the Recycle Bin unless you choose otherwise. Permanent deletes, overwrites and forced closes are explained next to the option and confirmed before the run.

Imported workflows arrive turned off

A workflow from a file or an assistant never starts by itself until you have looked at it and turned it on.

Warnings before anything destructive

Risky settings carry an inline explanation in red, right under the option that causes the risk.

Local-first and private

Workflows, history and logs live in your user profile. Diagnostics are off by default, and typed values can be hidden from logs.

A separate browser profile

Web automation uses its own Edge or Chrome profile by default, away from your everyday browsing.

Every run is on record

Run history keeps each step of every run, so you can see exactly what happened and when.

Good to know

  • Browser actions need Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. Nimblio uses its own browser profile by default, so sites need one sign-in there.
  • Until the installer is code-signed, Windows SmartScreen shows a warning the first time. The download page explains how to check the file.
  • The MCP server works with assistants running on your PC. Cloud assistants can’t reach it.
