Explore Autodesk Construction Cloud with Claude

The `list_hubs` and `list_projects` tools let your AI client map out your entire Autodesk organization. Claude reads your available hubs and drills down into specific projects instantly. Instead of clicking through web menus to find an ID, you just ask for the active sites. Once it finds the right site, `get_project_details` pulls the raw metadata. You get exact project scopes, statuses, and timeline boundaries dumped straight into your conversation context. This means you skip the manual search and start analyzing the project constraints immediately.

Manage Site Issues via Claude Desktop

Using `list_issues` and `get_issue_details`, Claude pulls active snags and safety reports from your active build. You tell the agent to check the latest defect logs, and it returns the exact descriptions, assignees, and due dates. The data hits your chat interface ready for review. Writing back to the system happens through the `create_issue` tool. If a subcontractor flags a wiring problem during a meeting, you tell Claude to log it. The agent pushes the new issue directly to the project hub with the correct tags attached.

Inspect Assets and Folders Using an MCP Server

The `list_assets` and `get_asset_details` tools give Claude direct read access to your equipment and materials database. You ask about HVAC unit delivery statuses, and the agent pulls the exact asset records. It filters the noise and hands you the serial numbers and installation locations. Navigating documents relies on `list_top_folders` and `list_folder_contents`. Claude browses your project blueprints and spec sheets just like a local file system. You locate the latest architectural revisions without leaving your desktop app.
