How does the MCP handle authentication?

The MCP uses your X-SPACE-AUTH-KEY to mint short-lived JWTs via the Technical Token Manager. These tokens are cached and automatically refreshed to ensure uninterrupted access.

What kind of sensor data can I access?

You can access any IoT time series data exposed by your assets, such as temperature, vibration, and pressure, provided they are defined in your asset types.

Can I filter industrial events?

Yes, the list_events capability supports MDSP filter queries, allowing you to filter by type, timestamp, or other parameters.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

You can use this MCP with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Do I need to manage my own tokens?

No, the MCP manages the technical token minting and refreshing process for you once you provide the initial credentials.

How do I get the X-SPACE-AUTH-KEY?

In the Insights Hub Operator Cockpit: register your application, then create its service credentials. the cockpit generates the base64-encoded authorization key. It identifies your app at the Technical Token Manager, which issues short-lived JWTs scoped to your app's roles.

Which gateway URL should I use?

It depends on your plan/region: MindSphere-classic plans use https://gateway.eu1.mindsphere.io (also eu2, us1); Xcelerator plans use https://gateway.eu1.siemens.app. Check your Operator Cockpit. it shows the exact gateway for your tenant.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 8 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 02

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 8 available through Siemens Insights Hub.

01
Get asset variables
This capability retrieves the specific variables and data points an asset exposes. It also includes the most recent values for those variables.
02
List assets
Use this to see all machines, devices, and plants registered in your Insights Hub tenant. You can filter the results by type or parent ID.
03
List asset types
This capability lists the digital twin models and their defined aspect properties. It is the best way to see which sensor data sets are available.
04
Get asset
This capability pulls the full profile for a specific asset. It provides the type, location, hierarchy, and all associated variables.

Capability set02 / 02

05-08

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 8 available through Siemens Insights Hub.

05
Get timeseries
This capability fetches sensor readings over a specific time range. You can select specific variables, sort the data, and paginate through up to 2000 records.
06
Get latest timeseries
This capability grabs the single most recent record for an asset aspect. It is the fastest way to get current sensor values.
07
List events
This capability pulls industrial events like alarms, warnings, or state changes. It supports MDSP filter queries to narrow down specific issues.
08
Get event
This capability retrieves the complete details and payload for a single industrial event using its ID.

Real work

What teams actually run

Predictive Maintenance

An agent monitors vibration time series data to flag potential bearing failures before they happen.

Operational Dashboards

You use the agent to pull the latest machine states to populate real-time status views.

Root Cause Analysis

When an alarm triggers, the agent pulls the preceding sensor data to find the source of the issue.

Asset Auditing

You ask your agent to list all assets of a specific type to verify your digital twin inventory.

One connector, every AI

Siemens Insights Hub works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Siemens Insights Hub to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Siemens Insights Hub, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Siemens Insights Hub. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
