Why developers build on Pipelet

Section titled “Why developers build on Pipelet”

Pipelet is a modular Charge Point Management System for EV infrastructure: 16 cleanly separated services, 92+ documented API operations, and a Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude, your CI bot, or any agent operate the network directly. Source-first, no vendor lock-in, deploys as SaaS, on-premise, or appliance.

CPO & Fleet Integrators

Onboard stations, run sessions, integrate Hubject and Plug & Charge through one REST API.

Onboarding guide →

AI / Agent Developers

Connect Claude Desktop or any MCP client to a 30-tool catalog and build autonomous load management.

Four ways to integrate

Section titled “Four ways to integrate”

Headless CPMS API

MVP

REST + Webhooks

The unified gateway for stations, sessions, configuration, firmware, Hubject and webhooks. X-API-Key auth, 23 webhook event types.

43 operations

OCPP Server API

OpenAPI 3.0.3

OCPP 1.6 control surface

Direct control of OCPP 1.6 stations: triggers, configuration keys, firmware updates, OICP roaming and Plug & Charge.

39 operations

MCP Server

Claude-ready

AI agent tools

Model Context Protocol server with 30 tools across station monitoring, billing, configuration, customers and load management.

30 tools operations

Charger Simulator

Sandbox

Test against the real protocol

Spin up 1–10,000 virtual OCPP chargers, inject faults, mass-load-test your backend, stream OCPP messages over SSE.

10+ operations

Get started in five minutes

Section titled “Get started in five minutes”
Terminal window
# 1. Pull the gateway
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 \
  -e CPMS_API_KEY=hcpms_live_demo \
  ghcr.io/pipelet/cpms-headless:latest


# 2. List connected stations
curl -H "X-API-Key: hcpms_live_demo" \
  http://localhost:8080/api/v1/stations
Continue with the 5-minute quickstart → Boot the gateway, get an API key, and walk through your first three calls.

What can I build with this?

Section titled “What can I build with this?”
  • A fleet dashboard in any frontend framework, talking to one REST gateway.
  • An autonomous load-balancing agent that uses MCP tools to redistribute power across groups.
  • A roaming bridge that forwards Hubject CDRs into your billing system via webhooks.
  • A test harness that stress-tests your CPMS backend with thousands of simulated chargers.
  • A custom self-hosted CPMS built from the 16-module catalog — pick what you need, leave the rest.
