Anaplan MCP server

Anaplan holds the planning models of finance, sales and supply chain teams. Through Flowplane an AI assistant can walk a model, its modules, line items, views, lists and versions, read a view’s cells as a table, and see which imports, exports and processes exist and how a run is going. It can also write cells, add, change or delete list items, upload an import file and run an action; those wait for your approval by default.

How it connects

Sign-in

Your Anaplan tenant security administrator registers an OAuth client in Anaplan once (Administration, Security, OAuth clients, type Authorization code grant, with the callback URL the Flowplane console shows and a rotatable refresh token). You paste its client ID and secret into Flowplane, and then each person signs in with their own Anaplan account, so the assistant acts as them. Flowplane keeps the secret and the login sealed; the assistant never sees them.

In Flowplane: In the Flowplane console, add Anaplan, choose your Anaplan environment (Global or your own region), paste the OAuth client ID and secret, and sign in with Anaplan.

MCP

Anaplan and MCP

Anaplan runs its own remote MCP server, AI Gateway: read-only, a separate subscription, and switched on per workspace by an AI administrator. Flowplane does not use it: it talks to Anaplan’s Integration API directly, which also lets the assistant change data and run actions, after your approval by default.

FAQ

Questions

What is left out on purpose?
Opening and closing models, bulk deletes, the calendar and version switchover, deleting files and user administration. Uploading an import file only fills the file: nothing is imported until the import that reads it runs.
Why does Anaplan refuse to show cells or change data?
Anaplan only lets a Workspace Administrator of that workspace read cells and change data through its API. Ask an Anaplan administrator for that role.
How much can it read or write at once?
A view comes back as up to 2,000 lines per call, and Anaplan refuses views over a million cells, so narrow the page or pick a smaller view. One write changes up to 10,000 cells.
Which AI assistants can use Anaplan through Flowplane?
Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot and Mistral Le Chat, and any other client that supports remote MCP servers with sign-in. They all reach Anaplan through the same Flowplane address.
What does it cost?
Free for one person, with up to three apps and five assistants. Personal Pro is €9 a month including VAT; companies start at €99 a month for ten active users. Prices are indicative; see the pricing page.
