01
How it works
The server runs next to EPLAN on your Windows machine. Every action executes inside EPLAN under QuietMode, so nothing can block an unattended run.
=AGENT
Your agent
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client
-A1
eplan-mcp
Turns each tool call into a C# script, runs it, reads the result back
=EPLAN
EPLAN Electric P8
Your licence, your projects, your machine
-A3
Doc RAGs
P8 2026/2027 and EEC Pro docs, so the agent checks before it acts
02
The suite
One server to act, and the tools that make the agent good at EPLAN.
Scripting skill
Teaches the agent to write correct EPLAN C# scripts, API code and Remote Client apps, including the traps that only show up in production.
Documentation RAGs
Public search over the Electric P8 2026/2027 and EEC Pro documentation, plus visual symbol search. MCP or REST, nothing to install.
ecad-view
Open .epdz projects and .e3d parts in the browser, on desktop or phone. No EPLAN, no upload: everything stays on your device.
03
Up and running in three steps
Python 3.10+, Git and EPLAN 2024 or newer.

What comes next
Today eplan-mcp is for people who already use an agent in a terminal. Next: everyone else.
Desktop app for Windows

Scheduled jobs
Checks, exports and reports that run on a schedule while EPLAN is open.
Updates through GitHub
The app updates itself from releases. No new installer to download every time.
