Siemens Xcelerator Developer Portal MCP Server

The Developer Portal MCP server provides programmatic access to documentation, products, and APIs within the Siemens Xcelerator Developer Portal. This MCP server enables developers to efficiently query and retrieve relevant resources based on their needs, such as documentation, products, and APIs.

Server URL: https://mcp.developer.xcelerator.rocks/mcp

Key Integration Steps & Methods

  • Claude Desktop: Configure local servers by editing ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows) to add new server configurations.
  • VS Code/Cursor: Define servers in a .vscode/mcp.json file, use the AI chat to add tools, or use the --add-mcp command-line option.

VS Code Integration

  1. Install Visual Studio Code.
  2. Install the GitHub Copilot extension.
  3. Create a .vscode folder in the root of your repository or workspace.
  4. Create an empty mcp.json file inside the .vscode folder.

  5. Paste the following JSON configuration into the mcp.json file:

    {
  "servers": {
    "developer-portal-mcp": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://mcp.developer.xcelerator.rocks/mcp"
    }
  }
}

  6. Save the mcp.json file.

  7. Above the JSON key for the server, you should see the text "Start" with a play icon. Click it to start the MCP server connection.
  8. Make sure Copilot Chat is visible in one of your panels. It is in the right sidebar by default.
  9. You can now choose the available tools provided by the MCP server by typing a pound sign (#) in the Copilot Chat input box. Select the appropriate tool for your query. Currently, the following tools are available:
    • #askDeveloperPortal: Query the Siemens Xcelerator Developer Portal documentation to retrieve information about products, APIs, and other resources.
