  <Step title="Trigger">
    When chat message received (built-in)
  </Step>

  <Step title="AI Agent">
    type: Tools Agent
  </Step>

  <Step title="Anthropic Chat Model">
    Claude 3.7 Sonnet
  </Step>

  <Step title="Memory">
    simple in-flow memory

## 4. Test It Out

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Click **<Icon icon="play" iconType="solid" /> Open chat** at the bottom of the canvas.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Ask something data-centric, e.g.

    * "Who is the CMO of Snowflake?"
  </Step>

  <Step>
    You should see the MCP Client fire **Match Businesses ➜ Enrich Businesses** and Claude respond with a neatly-formatted answer.
  </Step>
</Steps>
