How do I get the Client ID/Secret?

Register your application for the Rockwell Experience APIs (via the Rockwell Automation Developer program / FactoryTalk Hub). After approval you receive a client key (ID) and secret pair that this MCP sends as HTTP Basic credentials on every gateway call.

I get 'Invalid client id or secret' — what does it mean?

The gateway's OAuth 2.0 policy rejected your credentials: either the key/secret pair is wrong, or your app registration isn't approved/active for the requested product. Verify both in your Rockwell Developer account.

More Details Connect to Claude

Rockwell Automation Experience (X) APIs — the official API gateway of Rockwell Automation (api.rockwellautomation.com, Anypoint) as a single MCP server.

What you can do

Universal catalog search — search Rockwell's full product universe: ControlLogix controllers, PowerFlex drives, PanelView HMIs, Guardmaster safety, part numbers, downloads and documentation in one query
Partner directory — browse System Integrators, distributors and OEMs by program tier (SI Gold, Distributor...) from the official partner database

Authentication

Register your application for the Rockwell Experience APIs (FactoryTalk / X API program)
Copy the issued Client ID + Client Secret into this MCP's credentials
The gateway validates OAuth 2.0 client credentials server-side on every call (sent as HTTP Basic); unauthenticated calls return {"error": "Invalid client id or secret"}

Who is this for?

Control systems engineers, panel builders, distributors, purchasing/procurement tools and AI agents that need authoritative Rockwell product and partner data.
