# UiPath (slim)

> UiPath is a robotic process automation platform whose hosted Orchestrator runs robots that operate desktop, web and Windows applications. Outside agents start and monitor jobs through the Orchestrator API or folder-scoped MCP servers in Automation Cloud.

Assessment: Orchestrator exposes published RPA workflows, agents and API workflows as MCP tools over Streamable HTTP, with MCP OAuth, scoped PATs and an OpenAPI 3.0 API. Prices above the $25 Basic plan need a sales conversation, and the status page logged several multi-hour incidents between 10 September and 13 October 2026.

## Facts

- Probe metrics: not measured yet (probes haven't run)
- Interfaces: Orchestrator API (OData, OpenAPI 3.0 at {AutomationCloudURL}/{org}/{tenant}/orchestrator_/swagger/index.html) and MCP servers over Streamable HTTP at https://cloud.uipath.com/{org}/{tenant}/agenthub_/mcp/{folderKey}/{slug}
- MCP server types: UiPath (exposes published RPA workflows, agents, API workflows, Maestro BPMN processes and Integration Service activities), Remote, Command, Coded, Self-Hosted. Platform and Swagger types in preview
- Starting a run: POST /odata/Jobs/UiPath.Server.Configuration.OData.StartJobs with a folder header, input arguments up to 10,000 characters of JSON. API triggers start a job from a custom URL with a PAT or OAuth (https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/api-guide/jobs-requests.md)
- Credentials: MCP OAuth flow, personal access tokens (up to one year), external applications (client credentials, user scopes, PKCE), interactive login through the UiPath CLI

- Errors: HTTP status codes plus a table of custom error codes such as 1001 NameAlreadyUsed and 1002 ItemNotFound (https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/api-guide/response-codes.md)
- Audit: Orchestrator audit logs and an API audit view of GetAll Jobs and QueueItems calls over 30 days (preview). Personal Workspace changes added to audit logs on 12 October 2026
- Free tier: Community plan, free with no time limit, one Pro and one Plus user, one Unattended Robot and a monthly Credits pool, under the Community Agreement of 27 July 2026
- Platforms: Robots run Windows desktop, web and other applications on the customer's machines or UiPath Cloud Robots. Automation Cloud is hosted in eight regions according to the product page
- Docs for agents: https://docs.uipath.com/llms.txt indexes every product, and any docs page returns Markdown when .md is added to its URL
- Prices: Automation Cloud Basic $25 per month (plan)

- Scores: Reliability 62, Performance pending, Schema & documentation 79, Agent ergonomics 73, Security & auth 82, Payments & pricing 25, Task success pending, Maintenance & community 80, Transparency & trust 76 · total over the 7 assessed categories
- Why: Reliability, Graded on the hosted Orchestrator API and MCP servers. · Schema & documentation, The Orchestrator API is described in OpenAPI 3.0, served per tenant at the Orchestrator URL plus /swagger/index.html rather than as a public… · Agent ergonomics, An MCP server holds only the tools a person chose for one folder, and the API takes $select, $top and $expand (22 of 25). · Security & auth, MCP OAuth with resource indicators binding a token to one server, external apps with OAuth scopes such as OR.Jobs, and PATs with chosen scop… · Payments & pricing, No x402, MPP or L402 (0). · Maintenance & community, Orchestrator release notes dated 12 October 2026 (30). · Transparency & trust, Closed service with published terms pages, though the MSSA that governs paid use is signed per customer and not public (15).

## Before you call it

1. Send `Authorization: Bearer <token>` on every MCP request. The `mcp-session-id` header carries no authentication
2. Give a PAT both `OR.Execution` (list tools) and `OR.Jobs` (run tools), or tool listing or calls fail
3. Use client credentials from an external application for unattended runs. It is the only method that needs no person at sign-in
4. Add a folder header such as `X-UIPATH-FolderKey` to Orchestrator API calls on folder resources
5. Read job outputs with `GET /odata/Jobs({key})`. `GET /odata/Jobs` returns InputArguments and OutputArguments as null and is limited to 100 calls a minute per tenant

## Connect

```bash
curl -X POST "https://cloud.uipath.com/{org}/{tenant}/agenthub_/mcp/{folderKey}/{slug}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $UIPATH_PAT" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialize","params":{...},"id":1}'
```
