For quality teams running CASQ-it

A CASQ-it MCP server that answers on complaints, FMEA and gauges, read-only and under each user's rights

A CASQ-it MCP server gives Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot read-only tools for complaints, 8D reports, FMEA and gauges. Böhme & Weihs publishes only an SAP package and a VDA QDX interface, no general API. No MCP server exists as of 21 September 2026; the vendor's AI is 8D-Assist and FMEA-Assist.

Why CASQ-it is hard for agents

Where a CASQ-it connection needs engineering, not configuration

01 · Docs

Only SAP and QDX are published

Böhme & Weihs documents no general API. The published interfaces are the certified SAP package and VDA QDX, both configured by the vendor per customer, so the blueprint starts by asking which access your installation can offer.

02 · Modules

What exists depends on your modules

CASQ-it is licensed by module, for example APQP, FMEA, SPC and gauge management. The data an assistant can reach differs per installation, so the tool list follows your module set.

03 · Network

On premises, next to the database

CASQ-it runs on premises in the customer network. Agent access needs a server-side component close to the system, and a gateway your IT team owns for any assistant in the cloud.

04 · Roadmap

The vendor builds its own AI

Böhme & Weihs ships its own assistants on the Proalpha Industrial AI Platform, not a documented extension point for outside agents. An external connector should cover what those assistants do not, and the overlap is checked before the build.

What we build

A first CASQ-it tool list, written as the manifest your IT team signs

Böhme & Weihs Systemtechnik GmbH & Co. KG, part of the Proalpha Group does not publish its interface reference, so every backend below is confirmed against your installation in the blueprint before a tool is built.

# casq-it-mcp-server: tool manifest, draft for blueprint week 1
# Every tool runs as the person asking. Nothing is written without a person confirming.
tools:
  search_complaints:      # part, customer, period -> complaints with 8D status
    backend: confirmed in blueprint
    mode: read
  get_8d_report:          # complaint id -> D1 to D8 content and measures
    backend: confirmed in blueprint
    mode: read
  search_fmea:            # part or process step -> failure modes, causes, actions
    backend: confirmed in blueprint
    mode: read
  list_due_gauges:        # date range -> gauges due for calibration
    backend: confirmed in blueprint
    mode: read
  get_inspection_results: # order or batch -> inspection results and decision
    backend: confirmed in blueprint
    mode: read
audit: every call logged with user, tool, arguments and the CASQ-it response

The manifest is the contract. A question that needs an operation not on it gets a new line and a review, not a wider permission.

CASQ-it 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.

What the connector answers, and what it will not do

Questions it answers

  • Which complaints for part X are open, and which 8D measures worked in similar past cases?
  • Which FMEA failure causes are known for component Y, and which actions were defined?
  • Which gauges are due for calibration next month?

What it will not do

  • Write anything: the connector is read-only, and complaints, measures and ratings are changed in CASQ-it by the responsible person.
  • Read more than the asking user may read in CASQ-it; permissions come from CASQ-it, not from the connector.
  • Release an inspection lot or close an 8D report; those decisions stay with the quality engineer.

When this is the wrong page

If the question is about past 8D reports or FMEA inside CASQ-it, 8D-Assist and FMEA-Assist are the vendor's own answer and Böhme & Weihs maintains them. A connector is right when the assistant lives in Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot, or has to combine CASQ-it with ERP, MES or PLM data.

Start with the Readiness Blueprint.

Two weeks, €4,900 fixed price. Week one agrees the tool list with your CASQ-it owners and checks every backend against your release and licence. Week two tests whether a person's own CASQ-it 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 CASQ-it 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.

Questions CASQ-it teams ask before the first tool call

Does CASQ-it have its own MCP server?

Not as of 21 September 2026. Böhme & Weihs offers 8D-Assist and FMEA-Assist, assistants on the Proalpha Industrial AI Platform, but no MCP server for outside agents. A community server named after Proalpha targets the proALPHA ERP, not CASQ-it.

Do we need extra CASQ-it licences or access for an AI connector?

Böhme & Weihs publishes no API and no licence terms for one; its interfaces are configured per customer. Ask the vendor which access your installation can offer, and check which modules you license, because that decides what the connector can read.

Can the assistant see quality data a user is not allowed to see in CASQ-it?

No. Each call runs as the asking person, so CASQ-it's own permissions decide every answer, and the connector does not write. Two users asking the same question can get two different answers, and that is tested before go-live.

What does a CASQ-it connector cost?

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.

Next step

Not a sales call. An architecture call.

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