For manufacturers running Asseco APplus
An APplus MCP server gives Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot named tools for purchase orders, stock, articles and customers. It is built on the APplus web service interfaces, which Asseco documents only for customers and partners. Asseco ships no APplus MCP server as of 21 September 2026; Elly Help answers documentation questions inside APplus 9.
Why APplus is hard for agents
01 · Docs
The web service documentation is only available through Asseco and its partners. Nothing on this page names an endpoint for that reason. Every backend is confirmed against your installation in the blueprint before a tool is built.
02 · Interfaces
APplus exposes web services, the Business Integration Framework and an EDI subsystem. Which path a given object uses depends on the release and the licensed modules. The blueprint picks one path per tool and records why.
03 · Customising
APplus installations are customised per customer. A tool contract that works for one company can miss a field or a rule at the next. Tool contracts are written against your system, not a generic APplus.
04 · Versions
APplus 9 moved the platform from Java 8 to Java 17. Integrations built against older releases may need rework, so the connector is built against the release you run and retested on upgrade.
Checked 21 September 2026
| What we found | |
|---|---|
| Interfaces | APplus web service interfaces (web services (protocol mix not public), docs not published): described by Asseco and partners for MES, CAD, DMS, e-commerce and Office 365; integration partners require APplus 5.2 or higher · Business Integration Framework (BIF) (file/EDI, docs not published): since APplus 6.3; a communicator converts source data into an adaptive structure for the target system · APplus EDI subsystem (file/EDI, docs not published): orders, dispatch advice and invoices, mapped by EDI partners to EDIFACT or VDA |
| Authentication | Not documented publicly. How the web services authenticate is confirmed with Asseco in the blueprint. |
| Vendor MCP server | No vendor server. No Asseco MCP server or MCP announcement for APplus 9; Asseco's AI messaging centres on the in-product assistant Elly Help and process automation. |
| Vendor AI assistant | APplus 9, available since 28 April 2025, ships Elly Help, a generative AI assistant that answers from the APplus documentation, plus Flow Mode with more than 60 process templates. |
| Other connectors | SEEBURGER and Wiberg W6 sell web-service-based APplus connectors for APplus 5.2 or higher; both are integration platforms, not AI connectors. |

What we build
Asseco Solutions AG does not publish its interface reference, so every backend below is confirmed against your installation in the blueprint before a tool is built.

audit: every call logged with user, tool, arguments and the APplus responseThe manifest is the contract. A question that needs an operation not on it gets a new line and a review, not a wider permission.
APplus holds the records. An assistant without a governed way in answers from whatever someone pasted into the chat. The connector is the governed way in: named operations, the person's own permissions, every call logged.
When this is the wrong page
If the question is how to use APplus, Elly Help inside APplus 9 answers from the documentation and Asseco maintains it. A connector is right when an assistant in Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot needs live order, stock or customer data; reporting across years belongs in a warehouse.
Two weeks, €4,900 fixed price. Week one agrees the tool list with your APplus owners and checks every backend against your release and licence. Week two tests whether a person's own APplus permissions reach through the connector. You keep the manifest and a costed build plan, whoever builds it. All prices are net and exclude VAT.
What we need from you: a named APplus administrator, a test or sandbox system we may call, and one business owner who can say which questions the assistant should answer first. The first production connector is usually a use-case pilot from €15,000; it runs in your environment, and the code is yours.
Not as of 21 September 2026. Asseco has shipped Elly Help, an assistant inside APplus 9 that answers from the APplus documentation, but no MCP server and no announcement of one. An assistant outside APplus has to be connected through the web service interfaces.
Integration partners require APplus 5.2 or higher for the web service interfaces. Which modules and licences your release needs for API access is not public, so check with Asseco or your APplus partner; we confirm it in the blueprint.
No. The connector is designed so each call runs as the asking person and APplus's own rights decide the answer. How that identity is carried through the web services is not documented publicly, so it is the first thing the blueprint tests.
The two-week Readiness Blueprint is fixed at €4,900: agreed tool list, backends checked against your release, identity tested end to end, costed build plan. The production connector is usually a use-case pilot from €15,000. Prices are net, excluding VAT.

Thirty minutes with the engineer who would build the connector, with your APplus administrator in the room if you like.
