Install

You install Artek-Designer on the gateway once; every Designer that opens afterwards gets the Claude panel automatically.

Recommended for development and test gateways

Install Artek-Designer on a development or test gateway, not a production gateway.

Requirements

  • Ignition 8.3.4 or later with the Perspective module. Tested on Ignition 8.3.8. If your Ignition version is not on the tested list, the Designer flags it in the Claude panel and in the designer_status tool.
  • The Reporting module (optional). Without it, the module still loads and only the report features switch off.
  • Trust in the Artek module-signing certificate. If Artek-MCP is already installed, the gateway already trusts it. Otherwise the first install asks you once to accept it on the gateway's welcome page.
  • An MCP client that can send an Authorization header over HTTP: Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Claude Desktop through the mcp-remote bridge. See Connect.

Web install

  1. In the gateway web page, open Config → Modules → Install or Upgrade a Module.
  2. Upload Artek-Designer.modl.
  3. Accept the certificate and the license agreement.

Disk install (unattended)

Use this method when you script gateway setup and cannot click through the web page.

  1. Copy Artek-Designer.modl into the gateway's data/var/ignition/modl/ folder.
  2. Add an entry for the module to data/modules.json with:
    • certFingerprint: 99e472815b3417abab93e1c744c76699c73375d2
    • licenseAgreementHash: 3030118439 (the CRC32 of the module's embedded license agreement)
  3. Restart the gateway.

Check the install

After either method, the gateway log shows:

Artek-Designer <version> gateway hook started

Every Designer that opens from then on carries the Claude panel, docked on the right.

Relaunch open Designers

Relaunch every Designer that was open during the install

A Designer that was already open while you installed or upgraded the module keeps running the old version. Close it and launch it again. Until you do, designer_status reports jarMatchesGateway:false for that Designer.

Next step

Configure the module: turn on edits and create an API key. A fresh install has no keys and refuses every request.
