i40Pilot MCP server

MCP Registry Transport Auth License: MIT

Build manufacturing dashboards, OEE reports, schedules and 3D parts from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.

i40Pilot is an industrial BI platform. This repository documents its hosted Model Context Protocol server. Point your client at one URL, sign in, and your AI assistant can read and build in your i40Pilot project.

https://api.i40pilot.app/mcp

No install, no API key to copy: the server uses OAuth 2.1 (PKCE, dynamic client registration). You choose the project and read-only or read-write access on the consent screen, and you can revoke it at any time.

πŸ‡«πŸ‡· Serveur MCP hΓ©bergΓ© d'i40Pilot : collez l'URL ci-dessus dans votre client IA, connectez-vous, choisissez le projet et le niveau d'accΓ¨s. Votre assistant peut alors lire et construire tableaux de bord, TRS/OEE, plannings et piΓ¨ces 3D.

From one AI client: a dashboard, a critical-path schedule and a 99-part 3D assembly through the i40Pilot MCP server

Try it in 60 seconds

  1. Connect β€” in Claude.ai: Settings β†’ Connectors β†’ Add custom connector β†’ https://api.i40pilot.app/mcp β†’ Connect. Sign in or create a free account, pick a project.

  2. Ask β€” paste one of these into a new conversation. The first two need no data at all:

Schedule β€” Plan a gearbox overhaul with i40Pilot: lock-out 1 h, drain 1.5 h, dismantle 3 h, bearings 2.5 h (needs dismantle and the parts delivery, 4 h, which starts at once), sensor check 1 h after lock-out, reassembly 2 h after bearings and sensors, tests 1.5 h. What is the critical path, and how much slack does each task have?

3D β€” With i40Pilot, model a gear motor on a steel base: motor, flange, cast-iron housing welded to its foot, keyed output gear, every bolt a real joint. Then show me a render.

Dashboard β€” first bring the sample data in: download examples/data/machine-downtime-sample.xlsx (199 stops, 9 machines, 3 lines, September) and import it in i40Pilot β†’ Spreadsheets. Then ask: Using my i40Pilot workbook "machine-downtime-sample", build a downtime dashboard: total stop minutes, a Pareto of causes, minutes per line and machine, planned vs unplanned.

In Claude Code or Cursor, skip the manual import: the agent can upload the file itself (drive_create_upload_url, then spreadsheet_create_workbook_from_file). The Claude.ai chat cannot send a file to a URL, hence the import step there.

One connection, every i40Pilot app

App

Ask your AI client…

πŸ“Š Dashboards & OEE

"Connect my production database and build an OEE cockpit per line: availability, performance, quality, a Pareto of stop causes."

πŸ“ˆ Spreadsheets

"Read the downtime workbook I uploaded and add a column with the stop duration in minutes."

πŸ—“οΈ Gantt & scheduling

"Plan the gearbox overhaul: these 8 tasks, these dependencies β€” what is the critical path and where is the slack?"

🧊 3D design (text-to-CAD)

"Model a gear motor on a steel base, every bolt a real joint, and show me a render."

πŸ“… Calendar

"Book the overhaul on the maintenance calendar and invite the two technicians."

πŸ“ Forms

"Add a 'root cause' dropdown to the stop-declaration form."

πŸ”„ Power BI

"Export this dashboard to Power BI."

Ask for a result and Claude can show it right in the conversation with i40pilot_show β€” a dashboard, a 3D drawing, a Gantt β€” with a button to open it in i40Pilot.

Security

  • Read-only by default. Write tools only appear when you grant write access.

  • Scoped to one project. A token can never reach another project.

  • Runs as you. OAuth calls execute under your own row-level permissions.

  • Revocable. Remove the connection from your client or from Connections in i40Pilot.
