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. Questions or feedback? Drop them below or open an issue on GitHub.
Anyone ping external APIs from Aras?
Hi Forums, Wondering if anyone uses Aras to send requests out to third party apps? i.e. taking a Part's form data and sending it to openAI API for a summary and waiting for its response and output the text to a new tab for example? I know there's also linking with third party software, but has anyone done any custom API development in their own C# or JS aras methods? Best, Frank
R37 docs: any bulk-access, single-page, or PDF option?
Hi all, Coming from R35 where PDFs were offered alongside the Online Docs, we noticed R37 dropped the PDFs and split each guide into many short pages reached only through the left-side tree. A few questions: - Is there a downloadable bundle (zip, EPUB, consolidated PDF) for R37 that we missed? - A "full guide on one page" / print-friendly view we can link our team to? - A sitemap or index endpoint for the documentation portal? Onboarding new admins and cross-referencing topics has gotten harder when each section is split across dozens of one-minute pages. Any pointer to a denser format would help a lot. Thanks!
