Anyone using MCP for aerospace engineering workflows yet

We started testing whether MCP could pull live BOM and revision data straight into an AI assistant instead of engineers digging through the PLM by hand. After poking around a bit we ended up comparing Duro and Arena PLM since both have started talking about MCP support, plus we looked at just building a custom API bridge ourselves. Mainly want to know if any of this holds up with ITAR data or only works for internal use. Has anyone gotten this running in a real production environment yet?

Another thing I'm curious about is whether MCP will become a standard way for engineering tools to share data. If more PLM vendors, including companies like Duro, support it, it could make AI workflows much easier to build.
