Build ERP dashboards with this MCP Server in Cline
You need a custom internal tool to track site budgets. Tell your agent to build a React component that displays active sites using the `list_construction_projects` tool. It writes the fetch logic, creates the UI, and populates the table with real data. Watching the files appear in your sidebar while it works beats writing boilerplate.
Generate change order reports
Project managers need weekly updates on pending CORs. The agent executes `list_change_order_requests` to grab the raw JSON data from the API. Then it formats that data into a clean CSV or Markdown file right in your repository. If a specific request looks weird, it runs `get_cor_details` to append the line items.
Validate T&M billing automatically
Connecting field tickets to office accounting usually requires manual exports. This MCP connection lets your agent pull the daily records via `list_tm_tags`. It immediately pulls the corresponding labor costs using `list_construction_rates` and writes a Python script to flag discrepancies. You get a finished audit tool without writing a single line of code.
