How to Use the Autodesk Construction Cloud MCP in VS Code Copilot
Equip your entire engineering team with live Autodesk Construction Cloud data directly inside VS Code Copilot.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Autodesk Construction Cloud MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Autodesk Construction Cloud to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Standardize Organization Data Access
The `list_hubs` and `list_projects` tools give your entire dev team shared access to construction site data through their editor. You commit the MCP configuration to your repository, and every developer can instantly query active builds. Copilot fetches the correct project IDs without anyone needing to hunt through API documentation. Pulling specific metadata relies on `get_project_details`. When a junior engineer needs to write a data migration script, Copilot grabs the real project constraints. The AI client writes the script using actual timeline and status fields pulled straight from the server.
Navigate Folders via VS Code Copilot
Exposing `list_top_folders` and `list_folder_contents` allows Copilot to browse remote blueprint repositories natively. If your team is building a document sync tool, the agent inspects the actual folder structures first. It writes the traversal logic based on how the directories actually look in production. Equipment tracking operates through `list_assets` and `get_asset_details`. Your engineers ask Copilot to generate reporting dashboards, and it pulls live asset records to understand the payload. The generated components map perfectly to the serial numbers and installation statuses returned by the API.
Automate Issue Tracking with an MCP Server
The `list_issues` and `get_issue_details` tools let your team interact with defect logs while building internal tools. Copilot fetches open safety flags to help a developer write a custom filtering function. The agent tests the filter against the live issue descriptions and due dates. Triggering updates uses the `create_issue` tool. You ask Copilot to draft a webhook handler that turns failed CI/CD pipeline runs into site issues. The agent writes the code and can fire a test issue to verify the integration works before merging the pull request.
