UiPath Maestro Flow
Public Preview — now available to all UiPath customers.
Build agentic orchestration on UiPath without leaving your favourite IDE!
Use this extension to build Maestro Flow projects directly onto UiPath and deploy directly to Orchestrator — all functionality supported directly within VS Code.
And it's better with an agent. Pair the extension with your favourite coding agent — Claude, Codex, Copilot, or others — to describe what you want in plain English and watch your flow take shape live on the canvas. The agent understands your UiPath assets, reasons over them, plans, and generates the flow; you review and refine it visually.
Getting started with UiPath Maestro Flow
- Install this extension.
- Open the UiPath view in the Activity Bar.
- Click Sign In, complete the UiPath Automation Cloud sign-in from your browser, and select your tenant.
- Create a new solution and project from the Getting Started page — we automatically give you a default
.flow file to get started.
Build with your coding agent!
- Prompt Claude, Codex, Copilot, or any agent in plain English — "Build a Flow that processes invoices from my inbox and writes the totals to Excel."
- The agent discovers your available nodes, connectors, and UiPath assets, drafts a plan, and generates the flow
- Generated and edited flows render directly on the visual canvas, where you validate and refine them
- Iterate by conversation — adjust, extend, and debug your automation without hand-editing files
Manual install
If you already manage Node yourself, install the CLI and its tools and skills:
npm i -g @uipath/cli
uip tools install
uip skills install
Features
- Sign in to UiPath — sign in to your Automation Cloud environment with your account, organization, and tenant
- Design time — use UiPath Maestro Flow and all of its nodes to create and test your agentic orchestration
- Build and deploy — when your Flow is operational, package and publish directly to UiPath Orchestrator from within your IDE
- Inline agents — build and configure an agent right on the canvas: connect tools, escalations, and context grounding, then test it on its own or in the full flow
- Human-in-the-loop — pause a flow and route it to a person for input, approval, or review, with quick forms delivered over Slack, Teams, or Email
- Extract — reference your IXP models to pull structured fields out of documents (invoices, forms, contracts) right on the canvas
- Summarize — search a file for a specific topic and get a summary back, with citations to the source
- Batch Transform — apply a transformation across every item in an array or dataset in a single step, instead of manually looping through records
- Probes — attach a watch to any node to inspect the variable values you care about at a glance during a run, instead of digging through the full trace
Requirements
- VS Code 1.100.0 or higher (or any fork: Cursor, Google Antigravity, Windsurf, …)
- A UiPath Cloud account
- The
uip CLI so you can code hand in hand with your favourite coding agent
