Editor's note
Carbon is an open-source ERP, MES, and QMS platform built specifically for manufacturing use cases including complex assembly, contract manufacturing, and configure-to-order workflows. The system includes nested Bills of Materials, Material Requirements Planning, a product configurator, traceability, and quality management, all backed by a PostgreSQL database via Supabase with row-level security and attribute-based access control. It integrates with Claude through a built-in MCP client and server, meaning Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible Claude interface can interact directly with manufacturing data, query production records, and automate ERP workflows through natural language. The monorepo separates the ERP and MES into distinct React Router applications sharing common packages for database schema, background jobs via Inngest, Redis caching, and transactional document generation. A notable technical detail is full-stack type safety running from the database schema through to the UI, with realtime Supabase subscriptions keeping shop floor and planning data current. Manufacturing engineers, operations managers, and developers building custom manufacturing software are the primary beneficiaries.
