MCP Server (v3.0.0+)

Start the MCP server for AI assistant integration:

raps serve

Configure in Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "raps": {
      "command": "raps",
      "args": ["serve"],
      "env": {
        "APS_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
        "APS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configure in Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "raps": {
      "command": "raps",
      "args": ["serve"]
    }
  }
}

Once configured, AI assistants can directly manage APS resources using natural language commands like:

• "List all my OSS buckets"
• "Create a bucket named 'my-test-bucket' with transient policy"
• "Start translating the uploaded CAD file to SVF2 format"
• "Show me all projects in my BIM 360 hub"
