Quick start

Prerequisites

Node.js >= 18
A Kinaxis Maestro instance with REST API access
OAuth2 client credentials or a web service user (Basic Auth)

Install

git clone https://github.com/federicociro/kinaxis-mcp-server.git
cd kinaxis-mcp-server
npm install
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your Kinaxis credentials

Configure

Edit .env:

KINAXIS_BASE_URL=https://your-region.kinaxis.net/YOUR_INSTANCE
KINAXIS_CLIENT_ID=your_oauth2_client_id
KINAXIS_CLIENT_SECRET=your_oauth2_client_secret
KINAXIS_DEFAULT_SCENARIO=Baseline
KINAXIS_DEFAULT_SCOPE=Public

Or use Basic Auth:

KINAXIS_BASE_URL=https://your-region.kinaxis.net/YOUR_INSTANCE
KINAXIS_USERNAME=your_ws_user
KINAXIS_PASSWORD=your_ws_password

Add to your MCP client

VS Code (Copilot)

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "kinaxis": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["src/index.js"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/kinaxis-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "KINAXIS_BASE_URL": "https://your-region.kinaxis.net/YOUR_INSTANCE",
        "KINAXIS_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
        "KINAXIS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kinaxis": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/kinaxis-mcp-server/src/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "KINAXIS_BASE_URL": "https://your-region.kinaxis.net/YOUR_INSTANCE",
        "KINAXIS_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
        "KINAXIS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run standalone

npm start

Authentication

The server supports two authentication methods:

OAuth2 Client Credentials (recommended): Register a client in Kinaxis Admin, provide KINAXIS_CLIENT_ID and KINAXIS_CLIENT_SECRET. Tokens are refreshed automatically.
Basic Auth: Use a Kinaxis web service user with KINAXIS_USERNAME and KINAXIS_PASSWORD. Simpler setup but credentials are sent with every request.

Kinaxis API reference

This server implements endpoints from the Maestro Web Services Guide (REST & Bulk APIs), available on the Kinaxis Customer Community. Place your copy of the documentation in the docs/ folder (gitignored) for local reference.
