Violetlabs

Violet Labs is the connective tissue for hardware engineering data. Its cloud platform gives hardware, systems, and manufacturing teams a single workspace that harmonizes the software stack — PLM, ERP, CAD, PDM, MES, requirements, and procurement tools — through no-code integrations, data-sync workflows, parameters, native Python/Julia/MATLAB scripts, requirements management, reporting, and dashboards. Violet exposes a REST API (the Explore endpoint) authenticated with an x-api-key header, an OAuth 2.0 authorization server with dynamic client registration for its hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, and an AI chat/agent surface. The platform is ITAR/EAR-aware, SOC 2 certified, and NIST/CMMC/FedRAMP-aligned, with on-premises and VioletGov deployment options for defense and regulated hardware programs.

Violetlabs publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Hardware, Engineering, Manufacturing, and PLM.

Violetlabs’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, engineering blog, pricing, support, and 22 more developer resources.
