BuildControl™ — Claude Connector

Use Claude to work in your BuildControl account

Add BuildControl from Claude's connector directory. It is listed there now: in Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, and choose BuildControl.

The BuildControl connector lets Claude read and update your BuildControl jobs from a conversation, on the web, desktop or phone. Ask what is open on a job, find an RFI or a change order, log a daily report or add a task, and Claude does it in your account, under your permissions.

What you need

A BuildControl account (buildcontrol.group; a new company starts with a 30-day trial, and the people you invite don't need a paid seat).
A Claude plan that can use connectors.

Connect it

In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and add BuildControl from the directory. To add it by hand instead, choose Add custom connector and use https://buildcontrol.group/mcp.
Click Connect. BuildControl asks you to sign in.
Review what Claude is asking for and click Allow.

Claude now acts as you. It sees the jobs and records you can see in BuildControl and nothing else, and it can change only what your role on a job lets you change.

What Claude can do

Tool	What it does	Kind
List jobs	The jobs (projects) you can see.	Read
Job status	What is open on a job: RFIs, submittals, change orders, tasks, punch and the rest, what is overdue, and what changed this week.	Read
Find records	Search one job or all of them by type, status or words.	Read
Get record	One record in full.	Read
Read job mail	Email received at a job's project address, newest first.	Read
Create record	An RFI, change order, submittal, task, punch item, daily log, decision and more, numbered next in that job's log, the same way the app creates it.	Write
Update record	Change fields such as status, due date or line items. It refuses if someone else changed the record in between.	Write
Attach file	Keep a file with a record.	Write
Find in directory	Search your company profiles and contacts, company-wide or on one job.	Read
Save company	Add a company profile or fill in its details. Only the fields given change.	Write
Save contact	Add a person or update one, company-wide or on a job's directory. The same person is matched, never copied.	Write

What it will not do. The connector never deletes anything and never sends anything to anyone: no emails, texts or transmittals go out from it. It cannot change a record's job, number or signatures. Every record Claude creates or changes is tagged in its data as made through Claude, so it can always be traced.

Things to try

“What is open on my Main Street job, and what is overdue?”
“Find the change orders on the clinic remodel that are still waiting on the owner.”
“Log today's daily report on the lobby job: framing on level 2, 6 carpenters, no delays.”
“Add a task for me to follow up on the door hardware submittal by Friday.”

Disconnect

In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → BuildControl and click Disconnect. Claude loses access right away. Records it created stay in BuildControl.

Privacy

The connector reads and writes only what your BuildControl account can, and it does not store your conversations. See the Privacy Policy, section 7, for how data moves between BuildControl and Claude.
