Explore Field Data Schemas in Claude

This MCP Server exposes `list_data_forms` so your client knows exactly which apps your field teams are running right now. You don't have to guess what fields exist before asking for a report. Claude pulls the active list and maps the exact structure. Once it knows the forms, it fires `get_form_schema` to understand the data types and constraints. That means when you ask for a summary of yesterday's inspections, the agent already knows how the location and status fields are formatted.

Run SQL Directly on Form Data

The `query_records_sql` tool lets you bypass standard API filters and write raw SQL against your Fulcrum datasets. Need to join user roles with specific inspection outcomes? You just ask, and the agent executes the query. For simpler tasks, `list_field_records` grabs recent entries by form ID, while `get_record_details` pulls the full metadata for a specific item. If you need to push a fix back to the field, the agent can even use `create_record` right from the chat interface.

Audit Organization Settings via MCP Server

Managing who sees what is handled through `list_organization_members` and `list_member_roles`. You can ask your agent to cross-reference your active field technicians with the permissions they actually hold. On the infrastructure side, `list_webhooks` shows you exactly where your field data is being sent after collection. If something breaks, `check_api_status` confirms your connection is alive before you waste time debugging the wrong system.
