Connect Claude agent to Aras with MCP

After quite some interest in my Claude agent + Aras PLM + Python MCP demo on LinkedIn, I’d like to share: a basic variant of our setup is now open source on GitHub.

Get it here: GitHub: DaanTheoden/aras-claude-agent

You’ll find everything you need to connect Claude Desktop to your Aras Innovator instance: query data, create items, call methods, and more. No manual API definitions, just a clean, extensible MCP server.

Quick highlights:
 – Secure OAuth authentication to Aras
 – Query and create items (Parts, Documents, BOMs, etc.)
 – Call Aras methods and workflows
 – Access dropdowns and config data
 – Works with free Claude Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Clone the repo, follow the README, and let me know how it goes.

    Thanks for sharing your project with the community, DaanTheoden ! I'm looking forward to trying it out. [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

    Are you using AI in your day-to-day Aras Innovator work, or mostly experimenting and learning?

      Thank you for the comment eli_donahue !

      I’m primarily focused on enhancing the MCP server and utilizing the agent in a development environment that doesn’t contain any sensitive production data. Once the MCP server reaches a level of reliability, we plan to integrate connections to open-source local LLMs, allowing companies to use it safely and to the extent they desire.
