FlutterFlow MCP (flutterflow_cli) not working

[ebamoh1]

Can we access your project?

• I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

1. I watched this FlutterFlow MCP tutorial on YouTube and tried to replicate it.
2. After downloading the flutterflow_cli and following the instructions on the pub.dev page and the YouTube video, I couldn't replicate it due to these known shortcomings.

Mismatch between reality and expectations

1. The latest version of the flutterflow_cli on pub.dev is flutterflow_cli: ^0.0.37 but when I ran the dart pub global activate flutterflow_cli as shown on the pub.dev page and on YouTube, I get version 0.0.31, which is not the latest version. Even the YouTube video has version 0.0.34. So that's the first issue.
2. The second issue is that the available commands on version 0.0.31 do not include the ability to create a project so I can't even get to the part that requests an API key. Whenever I try to run flutterflow ai init [project_name], it doesn't work and I get a message showing me two available commands: export-code and deploy-firebase.

Due to the above issues, I have not been able to use the Flutterflow MCP.

Expected Behavior

1. Running dart pub global activate flutterflow_cli should download the latest version of the flutterflow_cli.
2. Once the flutterflow_cli is installed, the user should be able to create new folders and perform all the commands as shown in the YouTube video.

Steps to Reproduce

Follow the instructions in this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/drseJrmVZfU?si=3nCZ3ODgK409C7Dj.

Hello! I wasn't able to reproduce this issue on my end. Could you try removing the package first by running:

dart pub global deactivate flutterflow_cli

Then reinstall it and see if the issue persists.

Hi @Alezanello,

I'm not sure why you get a different experience from me but I uninstalled and re-installed it and I still got the same version 0.0.31 instead of the 0.0.37 that you get. I have "dart" and "npm" already installed.

Attached is the screenshot showing the uninstall and re-install. Is there a way to force it to download a specific version?
