Learn how to connect Gripr to Cursor and start using 11 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Gripr MCP Server?
Connect your Gripr (Goliath Systemer) account to any AI agent and take full control of your construction projects and craft business workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Project Orchestration — List and manage all active construction projects and retrieve detailed technical metadata and status
- Time Tracking — Programmatically register work hours for specific projects and retrieve history to ensure accurate billing and labor oversight
- Task Lifecycle — Create and manage project tasks to coordinate on-site activities and maintain a high-fidelity project schedule
- Customer CRM — Manage customer profiles and retrieve detailed contact information to streamline client communication
- Field Compliance — Access HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) and QA (Quality Assurance) forms directly through your agent
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your API Key from your Gripr account (Settings > Integrations / API)
3. Start managing your construction workflows from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual time logging or complex navigation through fragmented project lists. Your AI acts as your dedicated construction project manager.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Gripr into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Gripr and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 11 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my API Key in Gripr?
Log in to your Gripr account and navigate to Settings > Integrations / API to generate your unique key.
Can I register hours for a specific project?
Yes! The register_hours tool allows you to provide the projectId, duration in minutes, and a description for each entry.
How do I access compliance forms?
Use the list_forms tool to retrieve a directory of all available HSE and QA forms configured in your workspace.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
