Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides integration with Inductiveautomation's Ignition SCADA/MES platform through its REST API, enabling AI assistants to manage gateway operations, handle backups, monitor logs, manage modules and projects, and perform license activation tasks.

How do I use Ignition MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Ignition MCP Server show me the current gateway status" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

ignition-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI assistants a curated, developer-oriented interface to the Ignition Gateway REST API.

Built on FastMCP with 37 hand-crafted tools covering gateway management, projects, resources, tag providers, tags, alarms, tag history, and script execution.

Running

# Streamable HTTP (default) — http://localhost:8007/mcp
uv run python mcp_server.py

# stdio transport (for Claude Desktop subprocess mode)
uv run python mcp_server.py --transport stdio

      "url": "http://localhost:8007/mcp"
    }
  }

      "cwd": "/path/to/ignition-mcp",
      "env": {
        "IGNITION_MCP_IGNITION_GATEWAY_URL": "https://your-gateway:8043",
        "IGNITION_MCP_IGNITION_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

WebDev Prerequisite (tag values, alarms, history, script execution)

Several tools require WebDev module scripts deployed on the target Ignition gateway. The native REST API (/data/api/v1/) only covers configuration — it does not support runtime tag reads/writes, alarm queries, historian, or script execution.

Tools that require WebDev endpoints:

Tag values: read_tags, write_tag → IGNITION_MCP_WEBDEV_TAG_ENDPOINT
Tag CRUD: get_tag_config, create_tags, edit_tags, delete_tags, list_udt_types, get_udt_definition → IGNITION_MCP_WEBDEV_TAG_CONFIG_ENDPOINT
Alarms: get_active_alarms, get_alarm_history, acknowledge_alarms → IGNITION_MCP_WEBDEV_ALARM_ENDPOINT
Historian: get_tag_history → IGNITION_MCP_WEBDEV_TAG_HISTORY_ENDPOINT
Script execution: run_gateway_script → IGNITION_MCP_WEBDEV_SCRIPT_EXEC_ENDPOINT + IGNITION_MCP_ENABLE_SCRIPT_EXECUTION=true

If a WebDev endpoint is not configured, the relevant tools return a clear error with setup instructions. See docs/webdev-setup.md for gateway-side deployment scripts.

Testing

# Unit tests (no live gateway needed)
uv run pytest tests/ -v

# Integration tests (requires running Ignition gateway)
RUN_LIVE_GATEWAY_TESTS=1 uv run pytest tests/test_integration.py -v
