Caterpillar Cat Digital APIs as an MCP: equipment diagnostic services, telemetry billing records and the public Cat AI Assistant configuration — api.cat.com gateway with Bearer auth from the Cat Developer Program.

3 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Caterpillar's Cat Digital equipment APIs (api.cat.com gateway) as a single MCP server — operational data from connected CAT machines.

What you can do

  • Equipment diagnostics — diagnostic events and fault codes from connected Cat machines via the Cat Diagnostic Services product
  • Telemetry billing — data-usage records tied to your app's telemetry subscription (monitor API consumption against plan limits)
  • AI Assistant config — the public configuration endpoint of the Cat Digital AI assistant (guest access)

Authentication (from the Cat Digital Developer Program)

  1. Apply through the Cat Digital Developer Program — after approval you receive Bearer access tokens for your subscribed products
  2. Paste the token into this MCP's credentials; it is sent as Authorization: Bearer on every call
  3. Apigee error codes identify issues clearly: 401.006 = missing/invalid token, 400.006 = missing required fields, 404.001 = wrong path

Who is this for?

Fleet managers, equipment health analytics, dealers, construction tech builders and AI agents that need authoritative Caterpillar machine data.
