Home / Community Community & modules

We give the Ignition community our best work for free. Then customers hire the team that built it for the heavy lifting.

This is what we build and give back — not a product catalog. Everything here is free, documented, and running in the real world.

Flagship release

Artek MCP Server for Ignition

One of the most complete Model Context Protocol servers for Ignition — wired into every exposed Ignition interface, fully documented, and free. It lets an AI assistant work with a gateway's real tags, history, and tools under controlled permissions.

  • 01Full coverage — every exposed Ignition tie-in, not a handful of demo tools
  • 02Built responsibly — reads first, writes gated, nothing autonomous near production
  • 03Real documentation — install, configure, and safe-use patterns included
VERSION v1.0.0 RELEASED 2026-07 LICENSE FREE SHA-256 PENDING
  1. Download the release package and review the included docs.
  2. Configure the WebDev bridge endpoints on a non-production gateway first.
  3. Connect your MCP client, verify read access, then gate writes deliberately.

Why free?

Because reputation compounds when you give in the open. The community gets a tool it can trust; you get proof of exactly how deep this team goes before you ever pick up the phone.

And when Inductive Automation's native MCP Module fully ships, we'll help you land on it — we're here for what the tooling enables, not to sell you a module.

Want release notifications? Email info@artekis.io — no forms, no gate.
