Iron Bridge Construction — MCP Equipment Safety Server

Iron Bridge Construction — MCP Equipment Safety Server

Company & Problem

Iron Bridge Construction manages heavy equipment (cranes, excavators, scaffolding) across multiple job sites.
Before this system, site workers used paper checklists. Nothing stopped an uncertified operator from taking a crane, and nothing forced a human supervisor sign-off when the work was near power lines.

The fix: an MCP server that gives an LLM scoped, safe access to equipment data. The model never talks to the database directly. Every write that carries real risk is gated by capability checks, role changes, elicitation, and sampling.

Protocol Concerns Mapping

#

Concern

How it appears in this system

1

Capability negotiation

Server declares elicitation + sampling. Client checks before offering high-risk tools.

2

Notifications

Worker starts with read-only tools. After authenticate_supervisor, server pushes tools/list_changed and approval tools appear.

3

Elicitation

request_equipment for high-risk items (crane / near power lines) pauses mid-call and asks a human supervisor for explicit confirmation.

4

Resources

Safety policies (lifting-safety, electrical-proximity) are exposed as resources, not tools.

5

Prompts

Reusable template prepare-equipment-receipt that takes {request_id}.

6

Sampling

Before final approval of a high-risk request the server asks the client's model to draft a short risk summary; result is stored in audit log.

7

Progress tracking

generate_site_compliance_report walks every request and reports 25/50/75/100 %.

8

Defensive tool design

Strict JSON Schema (additionalProperties: false), server-side jsonschema validation, parameterized SQL, and handler-level authorization.

Transport

  • Development: stdio (default).

  • Demo / multi-site: Streamable HTTP (MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http).

Commit history shows the transition from stdio-only to HTTP support.

Quick Start

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # or .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 on Windows
pip install -r requirements.txt
python db/init_db.py
python agent/client.py      # starts stdio server automatically

HTTP mode:

export MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http
export MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1
export MCP_PORT=8000
python -m mcp_server.server
# endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp
