What is the 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.
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.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server through the Vinkius Marketplace
- Enter your Fulcrum API Token (found in your Settings)
- Start managing your field data collection from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- GIS & Field Operations Managers — quickly check collected records or query survey datasets without manual exports.
- Data Analysts — use natural language to prompt SQL queries against field data for instant reporting.
- System Administrators — automate the retrieval of form schemas and member lists while auditing workforce permissions.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get an API Token for Fulcrum?
Log in to your Fulcrum web app, click the Settings (gear icon), select 'API', and you can generate a new API Token.
Can I run SQL queries on my field data?
Yes! Use the 'query_records_sql' tool. Provide a standard SQL statement (e.g., SELECT * FROM "form_id") to instantly retrieve filtered datasets.
Is it possible to see the schema of a form?
Absolutely. The 'get_form_schema' tool retrieves the complete JSON definition of a form, including all its field keys, data types, and validation rules.
Can I programmatically create a new record?
Yes, you can use the 'create_record' tool. You will need the Form ID, latitude, longitude, and a JSON payload containing the specific form values.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
