UiPath Command MCP server

Hi All,
I was exploring on UiPath Command MCP server for client POC but there is no such info or documentation available for Command MCP server
Anyone has any idea on Command MCP server how it works or any simple use case which will help!

Thanks in Advance

Hi @vhvinodsai I already tried this is coded MCP server which i already know i am looking for Command MCP server

Thanks

@Akash_Javalekar1

Can you show which Command MCP you are talking about?

Hi @Akash_Javalekar1 ,

UiPath Command MCP server is very new and still in early preview, which is why public documentation is limited. It’s based on Model Context Protocol and is meant to let AI agents safely execute UiPath CLI commands (like pack, deploy, run) in a controlled way. A simple POC use case is an AI assistant triggering CI/CD actions such as packaging and deploying a process without giving full shell access.

In MCp server there are four types of MCP in Uiapth :
UiPath MCP
Coded MCP
Command MCP
Remote MCP

Command MCP i was exploring to show demo to one of client but i am not getting any much info on command MCP

Hi @Akash_Javalekar1

Command MCP Server lets UiPath start an external MCP server via a command line. Orchestrator runs the command, discovers the tools the server exposes, and makes them usable in workflows. A simple use case is registering a custom AI or service as a Command MCP Server so your automations can call its tools.

Please check here on how to create and use

cheers

I did explore the same topic for a POC some time back and here are some of the finding:

  1. Any resources you wish to query on via MCP should be available online
  2. Create a coded process in UiPath, write/paste your MCP server code in it
  3. Deploy the process in orchestrator and create a process
  4. If using command option, then your MCP server should be hosted somewhere on cloud and reachable online, them you can configure command accordingly
  5. In MCP Servers in orchestrator, create a MCP server (Coded) and reference the deployed MCP server
  6. Go to view tools in create MCP server and click Discover.refresh button to see/fetch the tools

Happy Automation.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your quick response and inputs on Command MCP server.

I have experimented on my own with Model Context Protocol (MCP) to really understand how Command MCP works end-to-end. In particular, I tested the GitHub Command MCP example along with the MCP Inspector tool:

1.Command MCP essentially exposes CLI commands as tools.
Instead of calling REST APIs, we wrap system/CLI commands and present them as structured tools to MCP clients.
2. Using the GitHub Command MCP server we can simply pass the command and authentication we don’t need to publish any package we can simply feed external package or command
3. tools dynamically appear in MCP inspector tool and in UiPath MCP server
4. we can build our own mcp server as well using NPM or python

Happy to discuss further if anyone else is exploring Command MCP or building custom MCP tools!

Thanks,
Akash
