Deloitte × Procore Hackathon — Sept 9, Austin TX
This server connects your construction project data to AI agents (Datagrid) via MCP. Once running, agents can ask questions like "What RFIs are overdue?" or "Show me the budget variance" and get live answers.
Tool | What an agent can ask |
Project summary | Status, % complete, budget, schedule |
Open RFIs | Which RFIs are open, who owns them, when due |
Pending submittals | What's waiting for review and from whom |
Daily log | Weather, headcount, work done today |
Punch list | Open deficiencies by trade and location |
Budget variance | Spend vs budget by cost code |
Inspection checklist | Pass / fail / pending QA items |
