Works with 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 12 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.
The Old Way: Data is always locked in spreadsheets.
Today, tracking field operations means constant context switching. You open the site dashboard to see a red flag on Asset 7. That sends you to Worksheet B to find out why. Then you might have to check the API logs or send a message to a teammate just to confirm who saw the issue. It's a cycle of clicking, copying data from one tab into another, and manually confirming every single status change.
With this MCP, that process vanishes. You simply tell your AI agent what you need—'What's the status of Asset 7?' The system pulls all the necessary information: it checks the relevant worksheets, cross-references asset types, and gives you a clean answer without ever leaving your chat window.
List Grid Dashboards and Worksheets
Before this MCP, finding out what data was even available meant calling a colleague or digging through shared network folders. You didn't know if the 'Safety Check' data was in a dashboard, a worksheet, or an old report file. The scope of your operational visibility felt limited by who knew where to put the files.
Now you can ask the agent to list all available dashboards or worksheets. It instantly maps out every single structured data source for you. You know exactly what information is ready to be accessed and analyzed.
What your AI can actually do with this
Running complex field operations used to mean opening dozens of tabs: a dashboard here, a worksheet there, an API log somewhere else. Now you can talk to your operational data directly. This MCP lets your agent act as your dedicated field coordinator for all things related to site operations and assets.
You ask it to track down the latest inspection report for Site Alpha, or update the maintenance status on Excavator 456; it handles the complexity behind the scenes. It reads metadata from every worksheet structure, lists team members, checks if the API is healthy, and logs new records without you lifting a finger.
Everything connects through your AI client, making sure you get accurate oversight of high-stakes workflows. You’ll find this entire catalog managed on Vinkius, giving you access to everything in one spot.

Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is that once connected, your AI client uses these credentials to talk directly to the Grid system on your behalf.
First, subscribe to this MCP and grab your Client ID and Secret keys from the Grid dashboard's integration settings.
Next, connect these credentials to your preferred AI client (Claude, Cursor, etc.) via the Vinkius catalog.
Finally, start talking to it. Ask your agent specific questions like, 'Show me all active worksheets,' or 'Create a new record for Asset X in Worksheet Y.'
Who is this actually for?
Operations Managers and Field Supervisors who are tired of manually compiling reports from multiple dashboards. If you're constantly switching between sheets just to get a status update, this is for you.
Updates records instantly when a team member finishes an inspection or changes the status of equipment without leaving their main workspace.
Retrieves summaries of project progress and field reports using natural language to keep stakeholders informed quickly. Needs immediate oversight.
Automates the extraction of operational data, allowing them to pull structured records for custom reporting or business intelligence tools.
What Changes When You Connect
Instead of manually listing sheets or opening the dashboard to see status, you can ask for it. Use list_grid_worksheets to get a full map of your operational data sources instantly.
Tracking team activities is simple. You don't need to click through user reports; simply use list_team_members and then tell the agent who needs what record updated using tools like update_worksheet_record.
System reliability is key. By checking API health with check_api_health, you ensure your automation won't break mid-shift, keeping operations running smoothly.
Inventory management gets precise. Use list_supported_asset_types to confirm the categories of equipment, then use create_new_operational_record to log its details immediately.
You never have to lose data again. When a record needs fixing or removing, you can specifically target it using remove_worksheet_record, ensuring clean and accurate historical records.
See it in action
The Site Safety Audit
A supervisor arrives at a site and needs to know which assets have passed their last inspection. The agent first uses list_supported_asset_types to confirm the equipment list, then calls list_worksheet_records on the 'Safety Checks' sheet. It compiles a summary report showing only items needing attention.
The Maintenance Log Update
A technician finishes servicing an excavator and needs to log the details. Instead of opening the maintenance worksheet, they just tell their agent: 'Log this service for EX01.' The agent uses create_new_operational_record automatically.
The Data Cleanup Project
A data analyst spots several old records that were entered by mistake. They ask the agent to find and delete those specific entries, using list_worksheet_records first for verification, then running remove_worksheet_record on confirmation.
The Project Status Check
A manager needs a quick overview of current site progress. They ask the agent to list all dashboards (list_grid_dashboards) and get the status update for the 'Field Overview' dashboard without navigating away from their chat window.
The honest tradeoffs
Treating data like a file share
The user tries to manually export every worksheet and then uploads them all into the AI agent, hoping it will 'understand' the connections.
Don't dump the raw files. Use list_grid_worksheets first to see what structures exist. Then use tools like get_worksheet_details so your agent knows exactly where and how to read the data.
Forgetting who you are
The user asks for a report but the AI client doesn't know which team member authorized it, resulting in generic or unusable data.
Always call get_authenticated_user_profile first. This tells your agent exactly whose credentials and context it's working with before generating any reports.
Doing updates manually
The supervisor finds a record that needs fixing, opens the worksheet, changes the status in cell B12, and hits save.
Let your agent handle it. Use update_worksheet_record to change the data programmatically. It's faster, more traceable, and confirms the action right away.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP if your operational process relies on structured records stored in worksheets or dashboards, and you need an agent to coordinate across those separate sources. You should use it if your primary goal is tracking what happened—like logging maintenance or checking asset status—or gathering a summary of that history.
Don't use this if you just need general knowledge retrieval (e.g., 'What is the definition of an excavator?'). For unstructured document querying, look for dedicated document indexing tools. Also, don't rely on it for data visualization creation; it reads and reports existing dashboards using list_grid_dashboards, but it won't build a new one from scratch. It requires pre-existing structures to function.
Questions you might have
How do I use the `list_grid_worksheets` tool? +
You ask your agent simply, 'List all operational worksheets.' The agent executes this tool and immediately returns a structured list of every active worksheet ID and name in your account.
What is the difference between `create_new_operational_record` and `update_worksheet_record`? +
Create_new_operational_record adds data that didn't exist before (e.g., a brand new inspection). Update_worksheet_record changes existing data, like changing an asset status from 'Needs Repair' to 'Operational'.
Can I list all team members using the `list_team_members` tool? +
Yes. You just prompt your agent to run this tool. It gives you a current, structured roster of users in your organization so you know who needs access or who logged a record.
Does `check_api_health` fix my data problems? +
No, it doesn't fix the problem. It just confirms that the communication line between your AI client and the Grid system is currently active and working correctly.
How do I use `list_worksheet_records` to filter data by a specific date range? +
You must pass structured criteria including column names and values. To narrow results, include a mandatory 'date' field parameter along with the start and end dates you want to check.
What does `list_configured_webhooks` show me about system integrations? +
It lists every active webhook endpoint linked to your account. This lets you confirm which external services are set up to automatically receive data whenever an operational record changes.
Is it safe to use `remove_worksheet_record` if I'm unsure about the data? +
The tool deletes records instantly. Always double-check your target worksheet and record ID before calling this function, since deletion is immediate and irreversible.
How can `get_worksheet_details` help me understand a sheet's structure? +
It returns the full schema for that specific worksheet. This lets you see every available column name, its data type, and any required metadata fields before trying to input new information.
How do I find my Client ID and Secret? +
Log in to your Grid dashboard, navigate to the Integrations or API Connectors section to generate and copy your unique credentials.
Can I add a record to a specific worksheet via AI? +
Yes! The create_new_operational_record tool allows you to push new data directly into any authorized worksheet in your Grid account.
How do I check available analytical dashboards? +
Use the list_grid_dashboards tool to retrieve a list of all configured analytical views and monitors in your Grid environment.
