How to Use the Clearstory MCP in LangChain
Build agents that track construction projects and change orders. Step-by-step reasoning for your LangChain apps.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Clearstory MCP to LangChain
Create your Vinkius account to connect Clearstory to LangChain and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Chain Project Data into Actionable Insights
Start by listing projects with `list_construction_projects`. Your agent can then pick a project and dive deeper, pulling contracts with `list_project_contracts` and then specific Change Order Requests using `list_change_order_requests`. It's a logical flow, not just a single API call. This is where LangChain shines. You can build a chain that first checks for new change notifications via `list_change_notifications`, then automatically fetches the full COR details with `get_cor_details` for any high-priority items. Your agent handles the multi-step logic on its own.
Automate Cost Analysis with this MCP Server
Give your agent the ability to check project financials. It can start with `list_construction_rates` to get the baseline Labor, Material, and Equipment rates for a job. This gives it the context needed for the next step. From there, the agent can cross-reference those rates against incoming Time & Material tags from the field using `list_tm_tags`. This lets you build agents that flag discrepancies between quoted rates and actuals, all within a single, traceable LangChain execution.
Build a Full-Scope Construction Bot
This isn't just about single tools; it's about composing them. You can design a ReAct agent that monitors an entire project's lifecycle. It starts with `get_project_construction_details` to get the big picture. Then, it can use the other Clearstory tools to react to changes. New T&M tag? `list_tm_tags`. New COR? `list_change_order_requests`. Your agent decides what to pull next based on the project's state, making it a dynamic part of your operations team.
Set up Clearstory MCP in LangChain
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
langchain-mcp-adapters+langgraphpackages - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

Use
MultiServerMCPClientwith"transport": "http"pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. - 3
Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to
create_react_agent()from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes Clearstory tool calls through the MCP protocol. - 4
Run with any LLM
Swap
ChatOpenAIforChatAnthropic,ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.
