## Description

You are likely tired of logging into a separate dashboard just to check if an inspection was completed or to update an asset's status. This MCP lets you talk directly to your field data. Instead of clicking through layers of menus in WorkOnGrid, you can simply ask your agent for the latest report or tell it to log a new maintenance entry. You can pull up worksheet structures, see which team members are active, and even monitor your API health without leaving your coding environment or chat interface. It is like having a field operations coordinator sitting right inside your AI client. Through the Vinkius catalog, you get a direct line to all your operational worksheets and dashboards, making it easy to keep your data current without the manual overhead of traditional spreadsheet management.
