**Yes, Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents can work in your Buildertrend account.** Buildertrend's AI is built into its own platform, not offered as an official ChatGPT app or Claude connector. Cotlet.dev connects your own signed-in Buildertrend account to any AI agent, so you can ask in plain words and the AI reads your schedule and writes your daily logs for you.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Connects an AI assistant to your own signed-in Buildertrend account so it can read job schedules and write daily logs in plain language.

What you can do
  • Check connection status and get guidance on Buildertrend screens and sign-in
  • Open, read, click and type in a hosted browser session on Buildertrend pages
  • Close the browser session when finished
  • Read job schedules and list tasks with assigned crews
  • Create and draft daily logs from notes, and summarize recent logs into progress updates
When to use it
Useful for construction or remodeling teams already on Buildertrend who want an assistant to answer schedule questions, flag late items, and draft daily logs without copying data by hand.
Requirements
A Cotlet.dev account and API key supplied as COTLET_API_KEY (or sign-in for the hosted connector). The local server runs via uvx or Docker with Python 3.10+; the hosted endpoint is recommended. A Buildertrend account signed in once in the Cotlet.dev cloud browser.
Before you install
The server forwards every tool call to the hosted Cotlet.dev service, so your Buildertrend session and job data pass through that third party. Tools can write daily logs and interact with pages, so changes land in your live account. Keep the API key secret; the README also links to signup and paid plans.

Risk summary: Parsed 0 tools; runtime introspection skipped: Static mode requested. Review provenance before publishing broadly.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Buildertrend Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

How to connect Buildertrend to Claude Code, ChatGPT and any AI agent

Yes, Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents can work in your Buildertrend account. Buildertrend's AI is built into its own platform, not offered as an official ChatGPT app or Claude connector. Cotlet.dev connects your own signed-in Buildertrend account to any AI agent, so you can ask in plain words and the AI reads your schedule and writes your daily logs for you.

What you can ask

What's on the schedule for the Miller kitchen remodel this week? List each task with the crew assigned.

Create today's daily log for the Oak Street addition: sunny, 68°F, framing crew of 4 on site, drywall delivery arrived at 10 am.

Which schedule items on the Henderson job are running late, and by how many days?

Write a daily log for the Patel bathroom from my notes: shower tile set, grout on Thursday, plumber back Monday.

Turn the last 5 daily logs from the Lakeview build into a short progress update for the homeowner.

Connect in 2 minutes

Get your API key at https://cotlet.dev/app and export it as COTLET_API_KEY.

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add --transport http cotlet https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 --header "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY"

ChatGPT

Settings → Apps → add connector URL https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1, then sign in with Cotlet.dev. No API key needed.

Cursor

Copy .cursor/mcp.json from this repo into your project:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "cotlet": {      "url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1",      "headers": {        "Authorization": "Bearer ${COTLET_API_KEY}"      }    }  }}

Run it locally (stdio)

This repo is a real MCP server. It speaks MCP over stdio, lists its Buildertrend tools without any key, and forwards every tool call to the hosted Cotlet.dev server. The hosted URL above stays the recommended way. Use this when your client only starts local servers.

json
{"mcpServers":{"buildertrend":{"command":"uvx","args":["buildertrend-mcp"],"env":{"COTLET_API_KEY":"your-key"}}}}

Or with Docker:

bash
docker build -t buildertrend-mcp .docker run -i --rm -e COTLET_API_KEY buildertrend-mcp

Tools: buildertrend_guide, buildertrend_status, buildertrend_open, buildertrend_read, buildertrend_click, buildertrend_type, buildertrend_close. Without COTLET_API_KEY a tool call answers: "Set COTLET_API_KEY. Get a key at https://cotlet.dev/app".

Command line

Python 3.10+, nothing else to install. From PyPI:

bash
pip install buildertrend-mcp        # or run it once: uvx buildertrend-mcp connectbuildertrend-mcp connect

Or straight from this repo:

bash
export COTLET_API_KEY="your-key"python3 buildertrend_agent.py connect   # ready config for Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPTpython3 buildertrend_agent.py status    # is Buildertrend ready in your Cotlet.dev accountpython3 buildertrend_agent.py guide     # Buildertrend screens and sign-in linkpython3 buildertrend_agent.py read      # open Buildertrend, read the page, close the browserpython3 buildertrend_agent.py tools     # list Cotlet.dev toolspython3 buildertrend_agent.py serve     # start the stdio MCP server (same as no argument)

Questions from Buildertrend users

Does Buildertrend have an API?

Buildertrend publishes no API docs or self-serve keys for customers; it connects through its Marketplace integrations (checked 11 Oct 2026). Cotlet.dev works in your own signed-in Buildertrend account, so your AI agent can read job schedules and write daily logs with no API key and no code.

How do I connect Buildertrend to ChatGPT?

Add Cotlet.dev as an app in ChatGPT (Settings → Apps, connector URL https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1), sign in to Buildertrend once in your Cotlet.dev Cloud Browser, and ask ChatGPT in plain words. No code and no Buildertrend API key.

Is there a way to use Claude with Buildertrend?

Yes. In Claude Code run the one-line claude mcp add command above; in the Claude app add https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 as a custom connector. Claude then works in your own Buildertrend account.

Is there a Buildertrend MCP server?

Buildertrend has no official MCP server. Cotlet.dev is a hosted MCP server that works in Buildertrend for you, 24/7, with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, n8n, Make and Zapier.
