Construction MCP Server

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.

What data is exposed

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

First-time setup (do this once)

You need: Python installed on your laptop. Download it here if you don't have it — choose the latest version and check "Add Python to PATH" during install.

Step 1 — Open a terminal in VS Code Open VS Code, then press Ctrl+` (backtick). A terminal panel appears at the bottom.

Step 2 — Install dependencies Paste this and press Enter:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Wait for it to finish (takes ~30 seconds).

Running the server

Press F5 in VS Code.

A panel will open at the bottom showing something like:

INFO: Started server process
INFO: Application startup complete.

That means it's working. Leave this running while you use it.

To stop it, click the red square in the toolbar or press Shift+F5.

Connecting to Datagrid at the hackathon

Once deployed to mcphosting.io, your MCP endpoint will be at:

https://app.mcphosting.io/<your-server-id>/mcp

Paste that URL into Datagrid's MCP server field. It will automatically discover all tools.

Deploying to mcphosting.io

Log in at https://app.mcphosting.io
Create a new server
Upload two files: server.py and requirements.txt
Copy the public MCP URL it gives you — that's what you paste into Datagrid
