Arvane
Core Concepts

Admin & Platform

Configuration, integrations, APIs, and platform-level controls.

The platform layer underneath every feature category — configuration, integration points, and the APIs that let other systems and AI tools read Arvane's data.

Configuration

/admin/reference-data manages dropdown and pick-list values used throughout the product (application status, criticality levels, and more).

Metamodel

/admin/metamodel exposes the built-in metamodel primitives and lets you add custom entity types where the built-in model doesn't fit.

Import / Export

/admin/import handles Application Details v6.xlsx-compatible workbook import and export.

Integrations

/admin/integrations manages outbound webhooks (Jira/CMDB/generic templates), inbound CMDB enrichment, and bidirectional field sync events.

User Management

/admin/users manages roles and application-owner assignments.

API Docs

/admin/api-docs is an OpenAPI UI, with the raw JSON spec served at /api/docs.

GraphQL

/admin/graphql is a read API and playground (POST /api/graphql), also powering global search (⌘K).

MCP

/api/mcp exposes read-only EA resources for AI tools — ea:// URIs covering landscape, technologies, strategy, AI governance, and more — so external AI agents (not just Arvane's built-in ones) can query your architecture data.

Press ⌘K anywhere in the product, or call /api/search directly — search uses semantic synonym ranking across every entity type in the repository.

Object ACLs

/api/acl lets you share a specific dashboard, diagram, or register beyond a role's default access.

SSO

Microsoft Entra ID, OIDC, and SAML-via-OIDC are supported, with directory group → role mapping. Credentials login remains available for demos.

Themes

Arvane ships dark and light themes with accessible contrast in both.
