Track and analyze Business Processes progress, even by interacting with external AI
Kyoto, Japan, Questetra Inc. (CEO: Genichi Imamura) today announced the release of version 17.2 of its cloud-based workflow product, Questetra BPM Suite.
This update implements server-side functionality for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that facilitates seamless communication between AI and applications.This improvement empowers users to leverage external AI clients to understand and interact with business process information within Questetra using natural language.
What is Questetra BPM Suite?
With its no-code platform, you can easily create workflow systems for routine business tasks such as approval requests, quotation submissions, and inquiry responses.
By integrating generative AI, Questetra automates complex intellectual tasks, including automatic document drafting and generating suggested responses.
Key Enhancements in v17.2
1. MCP Server Functionality Implemented
This release includes server functions for the standard MCP protocol. This allows external AI clients (chatgpt.com) to independently access App definitions and status information within Questetra through the Questetra-provided MCPserver.
- Information Accessible to AI:
- List of process models
- Search and detailed views of Process Instances
- Search for Tasks assigned to the logged-in user, including My Tasks and Offered Tasks
- Example Usage Scenarios:
- “Show me my prioritized tasks for this week, sorted by upcoming deadlines.”
- “Identify processes that are awaiting approval and pinpoint where the bottlenecks are.”
- “Based on historical data, what is the expected completion date for this process?”
By enabling natural language dialogue, the system eliminates the need for complex search conditions or intricate screen navigation, providing streamlined access to operational status and facilitating informed decision-making.
2. SPA-ization of Main Screens and UI Renewal
Key screens, such as “My Tasks” and “Process Details,” which are frequently used by business users, have been significantly updated.
- Migration to SPA (Single Page Application) Format:
The platform has been migrated from a traditional page-transition model to an SPA architecture. This means only the necessary data is retrieved asynchronously, without requiring a full page reload.
- Adoption of Material Symbols:
The UI now incorporates Material Symbols provided by Google for its icons.
By minimizing screen transition latency and using more visually appealing icons, we aim to reduce operational friction for users handling numerous tasks. This eliminates wasted time due to system delays, allowing users to focus on their core responsibilities within a highly efficient work environment.
3. OAuth 2.1 and CSP Support
API integration and front-end security are now aligned with the latest standard protocols.
- Auth 2.1 (PKCE) Support:
Supports PKCE, a more secure authorization flow for API authentication.
- CSP (Content Security Policy) Implementation:
Enforces restrictions by default to mitigate the risk of cross-site scripting attacks in new environments.
This provides a more secure environment for API integration with external applications and AI clients. By strengthening browser-level defenses, Questetra enhances security governance for enterprise usage.
4. Extended Data Handling and AI Agent Process
The release includes enhanced data manipulation features designed for developers and operations personnel.
- YAML Format Response:
The API for acquiring process details now supports YAML as a response format.
- Process Log Acquisition API:
A new API endpoint (/API/Admin/ProcessLog/listCsv) has been added to output Process logs in CSV format.
- AI Agent Process Updates:
Supports the latest AI models: Claude Haiku 4.5 / Sonnet 4.5 / Opus 4.5.
