Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This connection provides 13 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Setting up a new site feels like starting from scratch every time., Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway
When a new construction phase begins, the process of setting it up is brutal. You have to manually open old project templates, copy over codes and names, check if all users are still in the right place, and then start the whole team communication structure from scratch.
With this MCP, your agent handles the heavy lifting. Instead of tedious clicks and manual data entry, you simply tell your AI client to `copy_project`. It pulls the entire setup—the name, the code, everything—and gives you a fully configured project ready for work.
Aconex MCP Gives You Complete Project Visibility
Finding who to contact or what template to use requires jumping between the Global Directory and multiple specific project folders. This slows down every decision, wasting hours on simple lookups.
Now, you can search users anywhere with `search_global_directory` and then immediately invite them to your current site using `invite_user_to_project`. It's one conversation, done.
What your AI can actually do with this
Your AI agent now acts as a specialized project coordinator for Aconex, putting complex construction and engineering management workflows right into natural conversation. You can tell your agent to list every project you have access to or find the logo associated with that site. Need to onboard new workers? Your agent handles inviting users directly to active projects.
If you're starting a similar job, you don't need to build it from scratch; you just ask your AI client to copy an existing project template with all its details intact. Beyond basic setup, you can search the Global Directory or specific site directories to locate any user or organization quickly.
This level of integrated control is what Vinkius brings to the catalog, ensuring your agent has deep, reliable access across your entire portfolio.
019ea5df-2599-73fd-bd25-cc11ede35852 Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is that your AI client handles all the backend API calls so you can manage complex project logistics using simple chat commands.
First, subscribe your AI client and provide the required Aconex Hostname and authorization credentials.
Next, you instruct your agent using plain language to perform a project management task, like listing projects or finding a user.
Your agent executes the necessary calls against your Aconex account and returns the requested structured data directly to your conversation.
Who is this actually for?
Anyone who manages construction or large engineering sites. This connector solves the pain of context switching—the constant need to jump between a dashboard, an address book, and a template library just to start a new phase.
Uses this MCP to instantly list available projects, verify project logos, or copy standardized templates so they can kick off a site with accurate setup.
Relies on the directory search tools to pinpoint specific users and organizations globally, ensuring proper permissions are assigned before document release.
Automates team onboarding by running project duplication and inviting new users in bulk, minimizing manual setup time across multiple sites.
What Changes When You Connect
Start new jobs faster. Instead of manually rebuilding a template, you can ask your agent to copy an existing project using the copy_project tool, preserving all configurations like name and type.
Never get lost in directories again. You can search people globally or locally with tools like search_global_directory or search_project_directory, getting immediate results without clicking multiple tabs.
Streamline team onboarding. When a new phase starts, simply tell your agent to invite users using invite_user_to_project. They handle the invitation process instantly.
Maintain project consistency. Quickly get necessary data, like checking logos with get_project_logo or retrieving complex structures via get_register_schema, without leaving your main workspace.
Automate communication setup. You can set up entire communication channels by asking to create a mailing group using create_mailing_group, keeping stakeholders organized from day one.
See it in action
Launching a new site phase
A Project Manager needs to start 'Site Alpha,' which is identical to last year's 'Site Beta.' Instead of manually recreating the template, they ask their agent to copy_project from Site Beta. The resulting project is instantly configured with all necessary details.
Finding a specific contractor
An Operations Lead needs contact info for 'Garcia Construction' on an unrelated project. They use the agent to search_global_directory by organization, immediately getting the right contacts without knowing which project directory they belong in.
Adding a new team member
A Document Controller finds a user's ID via list_organization_users. They then tell the agent to invite_user_to_project for the specific site, making sure the user is part of the right team instantly.
Starting communication flow
A Project Manager needs a group chat for all sub-contractors. They ask their agent to create_mailing_group within the project context, setting up immediate communication without manual list management.
The honest tradeoffs
Manual Directory Lookup
Having to open a separate global directory portal, type in an email address, check permissions, and then manually copy that user ID into the project setup sheet.
Just tell your agent to search_global_directory for the person's name. It finds them instantly and provides the necessary IDs for you.
Template Recreation
Starting a new project means reopening an old template, manually changing the dates, updating the codes, and ensuring every detail matches the current job scope.
Use the copy_project tool. It replicates the entire structure of the original template while letting you change only the necessary details.
Team Management Guesswork
Not knowing if a user is in the global directory or just associated with another project, leading to failed invitations and delays.
Use search_global_directory first. This confirms the user's existence across the entire network before you attempt any actions like inviting them.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
You should use this MCP if your job involves managing complex, multi-phase construction projects and requires constant coordination between project setup, team management, and directory lookups. This is for people who need to replicate processes or onboard new sites quickly. Don't use it if you simply need to edit existing documents (use a document editor tool instead). Also, don't rely on this MCP for general knowledge questions; it only handles the structured data of your projects and users. If you just need to read project financials, look for a dedicated finance connector. This MCP is about structure and people.
