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.

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 does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
