About Fulcrum MCP Server
Connect your Fulcrum environment to any AI agent to automate your field data collection and mobile inspection workflows through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Fulcrum is a no-code mobile data collection platform used to build custom apps for field inspections, surveys, and inventory management. This MCP server enables you to retrieve dynamic form schemas, list collected records, and query massive datasets directly through natural conversation.
The Vercel AI SDK gives every Fulcrum tool full TypeScript type inference, IDE autocomplete, and compile-time error checking. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and stream results progressively to React, Svelte, or Vue components. works on Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and any Node.js runtime.
Key Features
- Form Discovery — List all data collection apps (forms) and fetch detailed schemas including field definitions and validation logic.
- Record Management — Access and retrieve collected field data, or create new records programmatically to keep your database updated.
- Data Querying — Execute powerful SQL queries against the Fulcrum Query API to instantly retrieve and filter large datasets.
- Team Oversight — List all organization members and system roles to manage user access and field workforce deployment.
- Webhook Integration — Monitor configured webhooks to ensure your downstream systems are receiving real-time data syncs.
- Real-time Synchronization — Keep your field intelligence accessible to your AI assistant without leaving your primary workspace.
The Fulcrum MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Vercel AI SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
