Aras MCP

The MCP server that connects Aras Innovator to Claude, Cursor, and your agentic workflows.

Aras MCP server connecting Aras Innovator to Claude and MCP clients

Want Aras inside your agentic workflows, whether that is Claude Desktop, Cursor, or a custom AI stack? You need a clean, production-ready MCP server that speaks Innovator.

Aras MCP is that piece. Query items, run AML, shape schema, and work the vault from chat, under the signed-in user’s identity, on your infrastructure.

Pass-through auth

Browser OAuth into Innovator. Tools run as your user: your ACL, your permissions, no shared service account.

Engineering toolset

AML, item queries, ItemTypes, lifecycles, workflows, identities, relationships, and vault files, all from your assistant.

Optional docs RAG

Tools-only by default. Turn on embeddings when you want semantic docs search, with the provider you choose.

Why teams use it

Building agentic PLM workflows means bridging your LLM to Innovator safely. Aras MCP is that bridge: structured tools, real user identity, and deployment that stays inside your network.

  • Ship faster. Stop writing one-off API glue for every AI experiment.
  • Stay compliant. Pass-through auth keeps ACL and audit trails intact.
  • Own the stack. Docker on your infra. No PLM data hosted by us.

Key capabilities

  • Pass-through auth. Browser OAuth. Tools run as your Aras user.
  • AML from chat. Execute AML and get live server responses.
  • Item queries. Find Parts, Documents, and more without hand-rolling AML.
  • Schema and process builders. ItemTypes, lifecycles, workflows, TOC.
  • Identity and permissions. Identities, members, and permission grants.
  • Relationships. Create types. Add or remove relationships.
  • Vault files. Download, upload, and extract text from attachments.
  • Optional docs RAG. Semantic search when you enable embeddings.
  • Runs on your infrastructure. Your data stays in your environment.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who is Aras MCP for?

PLM architects, Aras admins, and engineering IT teams who want Claude, Cursor, or custom agents to work against a live Innovator instance, without building an MCP layer from scratch.

How does authentication work?

Pass-through browser OAuth into Innovator. Tools run as the signed-in user. No shared service account. Your Aras ACL still applies.

Where does my data stay?

In tools-only mode (the default), MCP and PLM data stay on your infrastructure. Your LLM client processes prompts under its own policy. If you enable optional RAG, embeddings go to the inference provider you choose (OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Azure).

Do I need an embedding API key?

No, not unless you turn on docs RAG. Core AML, queries, schema, and vault tools work without it.

What do I get after requesting access?

We confirm eligibility, send private image access and Getting Started materials, and help you register the OAuth callback. Typical turnaround is within one business day.

Can I use this with Claude Desktop?

Yes. Aras MCP is built for Claude Desktop via Streamable HTTP and mcp-remote, and works with other MCP-compatible clients.

Is source included?

Docker image and Getting Started are included with the subscription. Source access is available with a paid subscription as listed.
