Bring Site Safety
to VS Code Copilot
Learn how to connect SignOnSite to VS Code Copilot and start using 12 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the SignOnSite MCP Server?
Connect your SignOnSite account to any AI agent and take full control of your construction site safety and attendance orchestration through natural conversation. SignOnSite provides a premier platform for managing worker sign-ons, safety inductions, and site attendance, and this integration allows you to retrieve site metadata, monitor worker enrollments, and track safety briefings directly from your chat interface.
What you can do
- Worker & Site Orchestration — List all active sites and retrieve detailed worker profile metadata, including enrollment status and contact info programmatically.
- Attendance Lifecycle Management — Monitor real-time worker sign-ons and sign-offs to ensure your site attendance is always accurate directly from the AI interface.
- Safety & Permit Control — Access and monitor site permits and safety briefings to ensure your workplace compliance is always synchronized via natural language.
- Enrolment & Credential Intelligence — Access worker credentials and manage enrolment flows to keep your compliance records up to date.
- Operational Monitoring — Track site activities and manage company metadata to ensure your safety orchestration is always optimized using simple AI commands.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your SignOnSite API Token from your dashboard
3. Start managing your site safety from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?
- Site Managers & Foremen — quickly retrieve worker attendance and monitor safety induction statuses without switching apps.
- Safety Officers — automate the retrieval of site permits and track compliance credentials via natural conversation.
- Operations Teams — streamline the retrieval of site-user metadata and monitor multi-site activities directly within the chat.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find which workers are currently signed onto a specific construction site?
Yes! Use the query_attendance tool. Provide the Site ID, and your agent will return the list of currently present workers and their sign-on times in seconds.
How do I check if a specific worker has completed their safety induction for a site?
Simply ask the agent to run the get_worker or query_credentials action. It will retrieve the enrollment status and safety credentials for that individual.
How do I find my SignOnSite API Token?
Log in to your SignOnSite web dashboard, navigate to the Settings > API section, and you will find your unique Company API Token there.
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.
