Siemens WinCC V8.2 ships a built-in MCP server, demoed live
When the SCADA vendor ships MCP itself, the question stops being if and becomes who approves writes.

Version 2.7.4 drives TIA Portal V20 or V21 to add hardware, generate tags, DBs and SCL or LAD blocks, and compile. It is free under MIT and is not made by or affiliated with Siemens.
For controls engineers: generate PLC blocks and put a TIA Portal project under Git from one prompt.
The German start-up's software pulls values from PDFs, CAD files and emails with a citation for each, flags conflicts for an engineer to approve, and drafts RFQs. Linking design quantities to tender prices is still planned. Owners of storage and substation projects could spend less time retyping data between design and procurement.
It is research code from a Seoul National University lab. It needs Windows and a licensed copy of Aspen Plus, and it was built to test local open models on process simulation.
For chemical engineers: let a model set blocks and read stream data without writing raw COM code.
