Carbon vs DELMIA Apriso
A side-by-side look at the Carbon and DELMIA Apriso MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Carbon for industrial & iot work over a hosted endpoint; choose DELMIA Apriso for industrial & iot as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose Carbon when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Industrial & IoT domain.
- You prefer a remote HTTP/SSE transport.
- You have the keys it needs:
CARBON_API_KEY.
Choose DELMIA Apriso when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Industrial & IoT domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You want tools like
iqms_workorders_list, iqms_workorders_get, iqms_inventory_onhand.
