An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants full control over webMethods Integration Server -- replacing webMethods Designer for most development and administration tasks.
Single ~4MB binary, no runtime dependencies, works with any remote IS instance via pure HTTP APIs.
Compatible with any MCP client: IBM Bob, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.

336 tools + 9 interactive prompts + 5 RAG resources in total. 184 end-to-end tests validated against a live IS with real infrastructure (Mosquitto MQTT broker, ActiveMQ JMS, MySQL).
The AI can guide you step-by-step through setting up:
| Prompt | What it does |
|---|---|
setup_jdbc_connection |
Walks through JDBC connection + adapter service creation, browses tables/columns interactively |
setup_kafka_streaming |
Sets up Kafka connection alias + event specification |
setup_jms_connection |
Creates JNDI provider + JMS connection (guides JAR installation) |
setup_mqtt_connection |
Sets up MQTT connection + trigger subscription |
setup_sap_connection |
Configures SAP adapter connection |
setup_scheduled_task |
Schedules a service for execution |
setup_rest_api |
Exposes services via OpenAPI or imports an API spec |
setup_user_management |
Creates users, groups, ACLs |
setup_oauth |
Registers OAuth clients and scopes |

npx @wm-mcp-server/cli
# Or install globally via npm
npm install -g @wm-mcp-server/cli
# Or from crates.io (requires Rust)
cargo install wm-mcp-server

Add to .mcp.json in your project directory:
{
"mcpServers": {
"webmethods-is": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@wm-mcp-server/cli"],
"env": {
"WM_IS_URL": "http://your-is-host:5555",
"WM_IS_USER": "Administrator",
"WM_IS_PASSWORD": "your-password"
}
}
}
}Or if installed globally / via cargo:
{
"mcpServers": {
"webmethods-is": {
"command": "wm-mcp-server",
"env": {
"WM_IS_URL": "http://your-is-host:5555",
"WM_IS_USER": "Administrator",
"WM_IS_PASSWORD": "your-password"
}
}
}
}Create a config file (e.g., wm-instances.json):
{
"instances": {
"dev": { "url": "http://dev-host:5555", "user": "Administrator", "password": "manage" },
"prod": { "url": "http://prod-host:5555", "user": "Administrator", "password": "secret", "timeout": 60 }
},
"default": "dev"
}{
"mcpServers": {
"webmethods-is": {
"command": "wm-mcp-server",
"env": { "WM_CONFIG": "/path/to/wm-instances.json" }
}
}
}Every tool accepts an optional instance parameter. Use list_instances to see what's configured.
Natural language examples:
"Create a flow service that greets the user by name"
The AI creates the package, folders, service with full flow logic, and tests it.
"Set up a JDBC connection to my SQL Server and create a Select service for the orders table"
The AI uses the setup_jdbc_connection prompt to walk you through credentials, then browses your database tables/columns interactively (like Designer) to build the adapter service.
"Debug the helloWorld service step by step"
The AI starts a debug session, steps through each flow step, shows you the pipeline state at each breakpoint.
"Install JcPublicTools from the package registry"
The AI searches packages.webmethods.io, downloads the package from GitHub, installs it into IS, and activates it.
"Run the test suite for MyPackage and show me the results"
The AI executes the unit tests, waits for completion, and retrieves the JUnit report.
"Create an MQTT connection to my Mosquitto broker and subscribe to sensor/temperature"
The AI creates the connection, enables it, verifies connectivity, and sets up a trigger.

All operations use IS built-in HTTP services. No filesystem access needed for most operations (marketplace install requires local access to the IS packages directory).
Flow services are created via wm.server.ns/putNode which accepts the full flow tree as JSON -- the same FlowElement / Values serialization used internally by the IS runtime. The server includes 5 embedded RAG resources with comprehensive flow language documentation, 15 working putNode examples (including TRY/CATCH, LOOP, BRANCH, MAPINVOKE, transactions), and adapter service configuration guides.
- stdio (default): Standard MCP stdio transport, works with all MCP clients
- HTTP:
wm-mcp-server --http 8080starts a Streamable HTTP server at/mcpfor MCP gateways
Set WM_SCOPES to restrict which tools are exposed (useful for MCP gateways):
WM_SCOPES=develop,monitor # Only development and monitoring tools
WM_SCOPES=readonly # Only read-only tools (list, get, status)Available scopes: admin, develop, deploy, adapters, messaging, monitor, network, readonly.
- webMethods Integration Server 11.x with HTTP access enabled
- IS admin credentials (Administrator or equivalent)
- For JMS: provider client JARs in
WmART/code/jars/static/+ IS restart - For Kafka streaming: Kafka client JARs in
WmStreaming/code/jars/static/ - For marketplace install: MCP server needs filesystem access to IS packages directory
