What is the MaintainX MCP Server?
Connect your MaintainX workspace to any AI agent to automate your maintenance operations and asset management. This MCP server enables your agent to list work orders, retrieve detailed asset metadata, update task statuses, and monitor facility locations directly from natural language interfaces.
What you can do
- Work Order Oversight — List all maintenance tasks and retrieve detailed statuses, priorities, and descriptions
- 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
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your MaintainX API Key (Bearer Token)
3. Start managing your operations from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Maintenance Managers — Monitor operational performance and update task statuses via simple natural language commands
- Facility Coordinators — Quickly audit asset locations and team assignments without opening the portal
- Operations Developers — Integrate maintenance data and task automation directly into your custom internal tools

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my MaintainX API Key?
Log in to your MaintainX account as an admin, navigate to Settings > Integrations, and click 'New Key' to generate your token. Your token is encrypted at rest and injected securely at runtime.
What status codes should I use for work orders?
Common status codes include 'OPEN', 'IN_PROGRESS', 'DONE', and 'ON_HOLD'. Use the update_work_order_status tool with these values.
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 does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
