Camunda Engine MCP Server

by maksdizzy

deployBpmn

Deploy a BPMN process definition to the Camunda engine from XML content or a file path, with options to filter duplicates and deploy only changed resources.

Instructions

Deploy a BPMN process definition from content or file

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
deploymentNameYesThe name of the deployment.
bpmnContentYesThe BPMN XML content as a string, OR path to a BPMN file (e.g., '/workspace/process.bpmn').
fileNameNoThe name of the BPMN file (e.g., 'process.bpmn'). Auto-detected from file path if not provided.
enableDuplicateFilteringNoEnable duplicate filtering to avoid redeploying unchanged resources.
deployChangedOnlyNoDeploy only changed resources.
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Only states deployment method without disclosing side effects (e.g., duplicate handling, success/error responses, required permissions). Minimal behavioral info beyond parameter names.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence, no filler. Front-loaded with key action and resource. Efficient and to the point.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 5 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, description is insufficient. Omits return value, error handling, idempotency, and deployment lifecycle context.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds little extra meaning beyond schema; 'from content or file' hints at parameter usage but is already obvious from parameter descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's function: deploying a BPMN process definition from content or file. It distinguishes from siblings like deployForm and deleteDeployment by specifying the resource type (BPMN process definition).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like deployForm or startProcessInstance. No prerequisites, context, or exclusions are mentioned.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
