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 Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
