Automate site issue tracking in Windsurf

You can pull a full punch list without leaving your code editor using `list_issues` and `get_issue_details`. Cascade reads the project context, finds the correct hub via `list_hubs`, and grabs the specific project ID. It then pulls every open ticket assigned to your subcontractors. Creating new tickets happens just as fast. When you spot a discrepancy in the CAD files, Cascade triggers `create_issue` to log the defect right into the main database. You never have to open a browser tab to update the site foreman.

Browse construction files via MCP Server

You can map complex directory structures using `list_top_folders` and `list_folder_contents` through this Autodesk Construction Cloud MCP Server. Your agent runs the top-level query to map the root directory, then digs down into subfolders to find the exact blueprints or RFI documents you need. Cascade chains these file discovery steps automatically. You just ask for the latest electrical schematics, and the agent traverses the folder tree until it locates the target PDF. It pulls the metadata straight into your workspace.

Track physical assets on the job site

Managing heavy equipment requires `list_assets` to pull the complete inventory for your active build. The `get_asset_details` tool fetches the exact installation status and warranty info for a specific HVAC unit or structural beam. Windsurf handles the data mapping for you. Instead of writing custom API wrappers to check if a chiller arrived on site, you just ask Cascade. The agent queries the database and formats the asset specs directly into your markdown reports.

Setup guide

Set up Autodesk Construction Cloud MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

Common questions about Autodesk Construction Cloud MCP in Windsurf

Edit your `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` file. Add the Vinkius endpoint under the `mcpServers` key, then click Refresh in the MCP panel. You can also use the built-in marketplace for a one-click install.

Yes. The agent uses the issue creation tool to generate new tickets. You just type the defect details, and Cascade handles the required API payload formatting.

It handles multiple hubs natively. Your agent runs the hub listing tool to find your available accounts, then drills down into the correct site.

You can traverse any directory you have access to. The server provides folder listing tools that Cascade chains together to locate specific blueprints or compliance documents.

Vinkius runs your server in an isolated V8 sandbox. Your blueprints, issue logs, and asset serial numbers never touch our persistent storage. The connection is ephemeral and requires only your endpoint token to authenticate the session.
