- Asset Management — Monitor equipment and machinery health by retrieving complete metadata and associated work orders
- Status Automation — Update the progress of tasks (e.g., to 'Done' or 'In Progress') programmatically from your conversation
- Facility Tracking — List and inspect physical sites and areas where your assets and team members reside
- User Coordination — List team members and manage assignees for specific maintenance tasks effortlessly

Can I see which asset is linked to a work order?
Yes, when using list_maintenance_orders, you can provide params with include=assets to see linked equipment names in the results.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http "" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
