Über MCP-Server

Hinweis:

Die Verfügbarkeit der Funktionen hängt vom Cloud-Angebot ab, das Sie verwenden. Weitere Informationen finden Sie auf der Seite Funktionsverfügbarkeit.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants and agents to the systems where data lives, including content repositories, business tools, and development environments. It defines how context and tools are exposed to AI systems, so that models can discover and invoke capabilities without requiring custom, point-to-point integrations.

For more information about the protocol, check the Model Context Protocol documentation.

The UiPath Platform provides native support for MCP, enabling MCP Servers to be built, hosted, or connected as part of agentic workflows. Through MCP, UiPath artifacts (RPA workflows, agents, API workflows, agentic processes, and Integration Service activities) can be exposed as tools that AI models can consume securely.

MCP Server types

UiPath supports five MCP Server types, each suited to a different scenario. The following table compares the types at a glance. For details, see the dedicated page for each type.

Server type	Hosting	Einrichten	Typischer Anwendungsfall
UiPath MCP Server	UiPath-Plattform	Artifact selection in Orchestrator	Exposing UiPath artifacts as MCP tools
Remote MCP Server	External (public internet or on-prem via UiPath Relay)	Remote URL and headers in Orchestrator	Connecting to MCP Servers managed outside UiPath
Command MCP Server	UiPath Serverless	Command definition in Orchestrator	Running an existing MCP package without repackaging
Coded MCP Server	UiPath Serverless	.nupkg published to Orchestrator	Building a custom Python MCP Server on UiPath
Self-Hosted MCP Server	User-controlled infrastructure	Local registration via uipath run	Running a Coded or Command MCP Server on your own infrastructure

Command, Coded, and Self-Hosted servers share a common runtime, configuration format, and transport. For details, check MCP Server shared foundation.

When connecting an MCP Server that is based on external code or commands, use a trusted provider.
