What you can do with this MCP connector
Clearstory hooks up your construction finance data straight to your AI agent. You use it to track projects, monitor Change Order Requests (CORs), and manage Time & Material (T&M) tags. You can list all construction projects, check contract details, and pull up current Labor, Material, Equipment, and Other (LMEO) rates—all from a chat interface.
List all construction projects gives you a rundown of every project in your account, whether it's active or sitting dormant. Get detailed information for a single construction project lets you dive deep into any specific project's records.
Check Change Order Requests (CORs) lets you see a list of all CORs available. You can also use get_cor_details to pull the full details for one specific COR.
List field T&M tags retrieves a list of the digital Time & Material tags recorded out in the field. Track change notifications lists every change notification that's been exchanged between customers and contractors.
Get contract information lists all the contracts tied directly to change orders. View project rates pulls up all the standard Labor, Material, Equipment, and Other (LMEO) rates configured for your projects. List all configured rates gives you a full rundown of every rate type, too.
How Clearstory MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the Clearstory server and enter your API Key (found in Settings > Offices > Integrations).
- 2 Tell your AI agent what data you need—for example, 'List all active projects.'
- 3 The agent runs the necessary tool calls and presents the data (e.g., project list, COR status, or rate details) directly in the chat.
The bottom line is, you get full access to complex construction financials without navigating the Clearstory web dashboard.
Who Is Clearstory MCP For?
Project Managers who need to monitor COR statuses and project health instantly. Specialty Contractors who need to review T&M tags and change notifications without logging into the main portal. Finance Teams who need to look up contract details and project rates straight from their chat interface. General Contractors who need to verify change order volumes across multiple projects.
Monitors COR statuses and project health using natural language prompts.
Reviews T&M tags and change notifications immediately without opening the full dashboard.
Looks up contract details and project rates straight from the chat interface for quick auditing.
Verifies change order volumes and checks supply chain risk across various projects.
What Changes When You Connect
- Full Project Status in Chat: Instead of jumping between project dashboards, ask your agent to list all construction projects and get their current status in one go. You can start by calling
list_construction_projects. - Instant COR Review: You don't need to navigate to the Change Orders tab. Ask your agent to list all Change Order Requests (
list_change_order_requests) and see status, amounts, and dates instantly. - Rate Visibility on Demand: Need to know the labor rate for a specific project? Run
list_construction_ratesto see the LMEO rates without leaving your chat window. This is key for quick quoting. - Contract Auditing: When a COR comes in, you can instantly cross-reference it by calling
list_project_contractsto see which contract it falls under. This saves time auditing compliance. - Field Data Integration: Get a real-time view of field spending by running
list_tm_tags. This brings your site data into your conversational workflow. - Change History Tracking: Review all change notifications sent between parties using
list_change_notificationsto maintain a clear record of project communications.
Real-World Use Cases
Determining the project scope and status
A Project Manager needs to know which projects are active and what their current change order volumes are. They ask their agent to run list_construction_projects and then use list_change_order_requests to get the count and status of CORs for the top three listed projects. This gives them a quick, high-level status report without opening a single project dashboard.
Auditing a disputed rate
A Finance Team member is questioning a billed rate. They ask their agent to run list_construction_rates and then cross-reference that data by calling list_project_contracts to verify the rate against the master contract terms. This solves the dispute immediately in the chat.
Tracking a recent site change
A Specialty Contractor just finished a phase and needs to submit time and material data. Instead of logging into the field app, they ask the agent to run list_tm_tags. This immediately pulls the digital records into their workflow for review.
Reviewing communication history
A General Contractor needs to understand the history of changes for a building. They ask the agent to run list_change_notifications and then use get_cor_details on the most recent COR ID. This provides a complete chronological view of the change, from initial notice to final request.
The Tradeoffs
Manual Dashboard Juggling
The user logs into the main Clearstory website, navigates to 'Projects,' filters for 'Active,' clicks into Project A, then has to switch tabs to 'Changes' to find CORs, and finally opens a separate 'Rates' page to check costs. This takes 5-7 minutes and requires constant context switching.
→
Ask your agent to run list_construction_projects to see the list. Then, ask it to pull the COR status and the associated list_construction_rates for the top projects. It handles the navigation and data aggregation for you.
Ignoring Contract Links
A Project Manager sees a high COR total but doesn't know if it's covered by the master agreement. They assume the project status is fine because the COR status is 'Pending.'
→
Always run list_project_contracts when reviewing CORs. This tool links the change order directly to the governing contract, ensuring you know if the scope creep is covered by the current agreement.
Treating Data as Separate Silos
The user calls list_construction_projects to get the names, and then calls list_change_order_requests separately, resulting in two lists that require manual matching in a spreadsheet. The connection point is lost.
→
Tell your agent to check for project status. Ask it to combine list_construction_projects data with list_change_order_requests data using the project ID. This gives you one unified report.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your job requires stitching together data from multiple sources—specifically, if you need to see a project's status, its contract limits, and its current change orders all in one view. It's perfect for compliance and auditing work. Don't use it if you just need to update a single field or run a simple report that doesn't involve cross-referencing data (e.g., just generating a list of all projects). If you only need to check the project list, simple data retrieval tools are enough. But if you need to know why a project's rate changed, you need the full context provided by the list_project_contracts and get_cor_details tools.

This server provides 8 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Tracking project financials shouldn't feel like a database query.
Today, getting a full picture of a project's finances means clicking through a dozen tabs: the project overview, the COR tab, the contract documents, and the rates page. You copy project IDs, open a spreadsheet, and then manually cross-reference the rate changes against the contract clauses. It's slow, and you almost always miss a critical link.
With Clearstory, you just talk to your agent. You ask for the project status, and it runs the necessary tools—pulling the project details, the COR history, and the rates—and hands you the synthesized answer. You get the full picture, instantly.
Clearstory MCP Server: Get the full change order lifecycle status.
You no longer have to wait for a team member to manually compile the change order history. Instead, you ask your agent to check all notifications (`list_change_notifications`) and then immediately fetch the full details for the COR (`get_cor_details`). This connects the 'why' (the notification) to the 'what' (the request).
It means your AI client handles the data stitching. You get a single, definitive report on the change order's journey, from initial communication to final request, without touching a single dashboard tab.
