Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Camunda (BPMN Engine) MCP Server?
Connect your Camunda engine to any AI agent to automate and monitor complex business workflows through natural language.
What you can do
- Process Management — Deploy BPMN, DMN, or Form resources and start new process instances with custom variables.
- Human Task Orchestration — Search for pending user tasks, assign them to specific users, and complete them to move workflows forward.
- Incident Monitoring — Identify and inspect process incidents and jobs to troubleshoot bottlenecks or failures in real-time.
- Definition Inspection — Retrieve BPMN XML definitions and search through deployed process definitions to understand workflow logic.
- Cluster Topology — Monitor the health and topology of your Camunda cluster directly from your conversation.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Camunda Base URL and Bearer Token
- Start managing your BPMN workflows from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more jumping between the Camunda Modeler and Operate dashboard to check task statuses. Your AI acts as a technical process orchestrator.
Who is this for?
- Process Engineers — instantly check process definitions and deploy updates without leaving the terminal or IDE.
- Operations Teams — monitor incidents and manage job failures through simple natural language queries.
- Developers — start process instances and complete user tasks during local development and testing flows.

Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Camunda (BPMN Engine) as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 25 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Camunda (BPMN Engine) data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Camunda (BPMN Engine) tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Frequently asked questions
Can I start a process instance with specific input data?
Yes! Use the start_process_instance tool and provide the variables JSON object. The AI will map your data to the process requirements automatically.
How do I find all tasks currently assigned to a specific user?
You can use the search_user_tasks tool with a filter like {"assignee": "user-id"}. The agent will return a list of all active human tasks for that person.
Is it possible to see why a process instance is stuck?
Yes. Use search_incidents to find errors in the cluster, and then get_incident with the specific key to see the error message and stack trace.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
