What is the HCSS MCP Server?
Connect your HCSS platform to any AI agent and take full control of your heavy construction workflows, from estimating to field data and equipment tracking, through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Field Data Management — List construction jobs and retrieve timecard data from HeavyJob to monitor site progress.
- Estimating Insights — Access bidding estimates and bid items from HeavyBid to stay aligned with project budgets.
- Equipment Telematics — Monitor your fleet with real-time GPS locations and latest meter readings (odometer/hours).
- Resource Coordination — List employees and business units defined across the HCSS ecosystem.
- Pre-Construction Tracking — Browse active pre-con projects and project lifecycles.
- Operational Efficiency — Use AI to identify equipment utilization trends or job cost variances in seconds.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your HCSS Client ID, Client Secret, and API Key (Subscription Key)
- Start managing your construction projects from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual exporting of field reports or logging into multiple portals. Your AI assistant acts as a dedicated Project Engineer or Fleet Manager.
Who is this for?
- Project Managers — instantly retrieve job costs and timecard statuses straight from the field.
- Fleet Managers — check equipment locations and maintenance needs without digging through telematics screens.
- Estimators — verify bid item details and estimate progress during high-pressure bidding cycles.

Frequently asked questions
How do I obtain my HCSS API credentials?
You must request API access through the HCSS Developer Portal (developer.hcssapps.com). Once approved, you will receive your Client ID, Client Secret, and Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key.
Can I see the real-time location of my equipment?
Yes! Use the get_equipment_location tool with the unique equipment ID. It will return the latest GPS coordinates recorded by the Telematics system.
Does this integration cover both HeavyJob and HeavyBid?
Yes, this MCP server includes tools for both modules, allowing you to access timecard data from HeavyJob and estimate/bid data from HeavyBid in a single interface.
Is the integration secure for construction data?
Absolutely. The integration uses industry-standard OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials flow and HTTPS. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call HCSS tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
