Fast work order creation in Claude Desktop

The `create_new_work_order` tool lets you spin up a maintenance ticket inside your Claude Desktop chat window without opening a browser. You tell the desktop client what broke, and it immediately formats and submits the ticket to your MaintainX account. If a technician reports a broken HVAC unit, you don't need to log into the web portal. Just paste the message into Claude Desktop, and the MCP server maps the details directly to a new work order.

Instant asset checks via Claude Desktop MCP Server

The `get_asset_details` tool fetches real-time metadata for any physical equipment in your facility. Your Claude Desktop client reads this physical data directly via the local MCP connection, letting you check service history or location profiles during your chat session. To see your entire machinery list, run `list_maintenance_assets` to pull the active registry. This keeps your local operations team updated on equipment status without manual database searches.

Real-time status updates inside Claude Desktop

The `update_work_order_status` tool changes the state of any ticket to "IN_PROGRESS" or "DONE" right from the chat input. Claude Desktop executes this change over an MCP connection, updating your field technicians instantly. Combine this with `get_work_order_details` to verify the current progress before you close a ticket. It keeps your desk work aligned with what is actually happening on the facility floor.
