About Katana MCP Server
Connect your Katana Cloud Manufacturing account to any AI agent to streamline your production and shop floor operations. This MCP server enables your agent to interact with products, materials, and complex manufacturing workflows directly from natural language interfaces.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and Katana tool infrastructure. Connect 11 tools through the Vinkius and use Mastra's built-in workflow engine to chain tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution — deployable to any Node.js host in one command.
What you can do
- Production Visibility — List and inspect manufacturing orders (MOs) and production tasks
- Order Management — List, retrieve, and create sales orders (SOs) and purchase orders (POs)
- Inventory Control — Get real-time stock levels for products and material variants to prevent stockouts
- Catalog Exploration — Query your full product and material database, including metadata and internal IDs
- Supply Chain Management — Access lists of suppliers and customers to maintain clear partner visibility
