# Autodesk Construction Cloud MCP for AI Agents MCP

> The Autodesk Construction Cloud MCP lets your AI agent manage complex construction projects using natural conversation. Instead of navigating multiple ACC tabs to check file metadata, audit project assets, or track open issues, you simply ask for the data. It connects everything—from initial BIM models to final site documentation—into a single chat interface.

## Description

This MCP connects your AI agent directly into the Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) environment. You can manage massive construction projects using plain conversation, eliminating the need to manually switch between hubs or open complex data structures. Need to know what files exist in the structural designs folder? Just ask. Want to track down an issue reported last week that's stalled a phase gate? Your agent finds it. The system handles everything from listing all accessible project hubs across your organization to giving you full details on specific assets, like HVAC units or steel framing. It lets field engineers check asset status on site tablets and lets VDC leads explore file metadata without ever opening the main ACC portal. Because this integration runs through Vinkius, you get one connection point that gives your AI agent access to thousands of other enterprise tools, keeping all your project data in one place.

## Tools

### create_issue
Allows the AI agent to generate a brand new construction defect or problem report in an active project.

### get_asset_details
Retrieves all technical and location details for one specific piece of tracked equipment or building component.

### get_issue_details
Pulls a complete history, including assigned parties and due dates, for an existing reported issue.

### get_project_details
Fetches general information about a project, such as its start date, budget codes, or current phase status.

### list_assets
Generates a comprehensive list of all tracked assets within a specific project scope.

### list_folder_contents
Scans and lists every file and subfolder contained inside a designated directory path.

### list_hubs
Provides an inventory of all major operational hubs that are accessible across your entire organizational account.

### list_issues
Generates a list of all currently open or resolved issues for a given project.

### list_projects
Displays a catalog of projects available within a specific operational hub.

### list_top_folders
Identifies and lists the main, top-level organizational folders inside a project's document directory.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the open issues for 'Hospital Renovation'?
```

**Response:** 
```
**Open Issues Report: Hospital Renovation**

| Issue ID | Description | Status | Assigned To |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| INC-401 | HVAC Ducting Conflict (Level 3) | Open | MEP Team |
| SAFE-212 | Safety Railing Missing (East Wing) | Blocked | Site Supervisor |

There are 5 open issues total. Would you like full details on the HVAC conflict? It requires a revised duct run from the structural team.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Show me all projects in my hub.
```

**Response:** 
```
*Hub: Enterprise HQ*

**Active Projects:**
*   High-Rise Phase 1 (Status: In Progress)
*   Subdivision Infrastructure (Status: Planning)
*   Hospital Renovation (Status: Remediation)
*   Warehouse Expansion (Status: Pending Review)
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What files are in the Structural Designs folder?
```

**Response:** 
```
**Folder Contents: Structural Designs**

Found 3 items:
*   `Foundation_Plan.rvt`: Revit Model File (Metadata available)
*   `Steel_Framing_Detail.dwg`: Drawing file
*   `Load_Calculations.pdf`: PDF document
```

## Capabilities

### Audit and list accessible construction hubs
Quickly find and review all the major project hubs available within your organization's Autodesk profile.

### Navigate file structures and check metadata
Traverse complex folder paths, listing contents or inspecting technical details for any file type (like DWG or RVT).

### Manage project issues and defects
List current open issues in a project, get full reports on specific problems, or create a new issue right through the agent chat.

### Track physical assets on site
Retrieve detailed information about construction equipment and components, or list all assets within a specified project scope.

### Get overall project status reports
Fetch core details for an entire project, giving you a snapshot of its current phase and key milestones.

## Use Cases

### Comparing BIM models across multiple sites
A PM asks, 'List all accessible hubs.' The agent responds with a list of five active projects. They then ask the agent to retrieve project details for each one, allowing them to compare current status reports side-by-side in seconds.

### Finding misplaced structural drawings
A VDC Lead asks the agent to 'list top folders' within a project. The agent returns the folder structure, and then the lead asks it to list file contents inside the 'Structural Designs' folder, instantly finding the exact plan ID they needed.

### Documenting a new field defect
A Field Engineer uses the MCP to run `list_issues` first, confirming no existing report for a specific problem. Then, they use `create_issue`, documenting the fault with all necessary context and assigning it to the right team immediately.

### Verifying equipment inventory before handover
The agent lists all construction assets in the final project phase using `list_assets`. The engineer then selects a specific asset ID and runs `get_asset_details` to verify its model number, serial number, and maintenance history.

## Benefits

- Eliminate manual data hunting. You can list all projects using the `list_projects` tool, instantly seeing every active build site without having to navigate the web interface.
- Improve asset accountability. Instead of guessing where a component is documented, use `get_asset_details` to pull precise specs and location records for any piece of equipment.
- Faster issue resolution. Your agent can track problems by running `list_issues`, giving you an immediate overview of every defect across the site, which saves time compared to checking multiple project dashboards.
- Better data governance. Use `list_folder_contents` to audit a folder's entire history, ensuring critical documents haven't been misplaced or deleted from the correct location.
- Full visibility into scope. The MCP lets you get general status updates using `get_project_details`, keeping everyone aligned on whether the project is in the design phase or ready for construction.

## How It Works

The bottom line is that you treat a massive, enterprise project management platform like a simple chat window. You ask the question; your agent handles the complexity of the backend data calls.

1. Subscribe to this MCP on Vinkius. You'll need your Autodesk APS Client ID and Client Secret keys.
2. Connect those credentials within your preferred AI client, like Claude or Cursor. This authorizes the agent to read and write data in ACC.
3. Start talking to your agent. Ask it things like, 'What are the top-level folders for the hospital wing?' or 'List all open issues for Phase 2.' The MCP executes the call and returns clean, actionable results.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I use the Autodesk Construction Cloud MCP when I'm on a job site?**
You can run queries to check asset details or list open issues using your mobile device with any compatible AI client. It keeps you away from needing access to multiple, complex web portals.

**Can the Autodesk Construction Cloud MCP help me compare project statuses?**
Yes. You can request details on multiple projects in a single prompt, allowing your agent to pull together status reports and key metrics for easy comparison.

**What if I need to add an issue but don't know the ID number?**
You don't. Just describe the defect you found—what it is, where it is, and who reported it—and the MCP will use your natural language description to correctly create the new record.

**Is this MCP better than just using the ACC web interface?**
It's faster. Instead of clicking through five different tabs to get a list, you ask for it once. The AI agent summarizes and structures the raw data into an actionable format immediately.
