Katana MCP. Automate order tracking and inventory counts.

Katana MCP automates your manufacturing ERP workflow by letting your AI agent interact with core business data—including sales, purchasing, and inventory—through natural conversation. You can generate new customer orders, check real-time stock counts for specific product variants, or pull detailed lists of all active manufacturing jobs directly from your client. This eliminates manual logins and spreadsheet cross-referencing across multiple systems.

The headache of switching between operational screens.

Today, if you want to know the status of a big order, you log into the ERP. Then you open the inventory module to check stock levels. Next, you switch to the sales tab just to confirm the customer ID before emailing anyone. You're clicking through five different screens and copying three different numbers—all just for one conversation.

With this MCP, your agent handles that entire sequence in plain English. It combines checking `list_sales_orders` status with verifying real-time stock via `get_inventory_by_variant`. You get the final answer immediately, without ever leaving your chat window.

Katana MCP: Immediate access to full order and material data.

The manual steps of opening separate dashboards for inventory checks, listing suppliers, and viewing purchase orders vanish. Your agent consolidates the output from tools like `list_materials` and `list_suppliers` into one readable response.

You don't just get data; you get a complete picture of your operational status. The speed is the biggest difference now.

What Katana MCP does for your AI

This MCP connects your AI agent to Katana Cloud Manufacturing, giving it direct access to the data that runs a factory floor. Instead of logging into a separate ERP dashboard every time you need information, your agent handles the request in plain conversation. You can ask it to check if 'Acme Corp' has enough material for their next big order or pull up all outstanding purchase orders needing attention.

It uses tools like list_customers and get_inventory_by_variant to gather precise data, so you don't have to jump through tabs. Whether you need the status of a product run via list_manufacturing_orders, or you just want to know what materials are available in your catalog using list_materials, this MCP handles it all.

By connecting this capability through Vinkius, you get one access point for every critical piece of operational data.
