Fieldwork

Ask your pest control business questions in plain English.

Works with Claude, Cursor, Codex, and other AI apps that support MCP.

“How many customers do I have?”
“Who owes me money?”
“How much Alpine did we use this week?”
“Who did the most jobs?”

Your AI asks Fieldwork. You get a clear answer.
Read-only — it can’t change jobs, charge cards, or edit customers.

Who this is for

Pest and lawn-care owners who run Fieldwork and want answers without digging through reports.

Why can’t they just ask Claude or Cursor to set it up?

Often they can — if they’re already in Cursor or Claude Code with this project open, say:

Set up Fieldwork MCP for me. I’ll paste my API key into .env.

The agent can create the venv, write MCP config, and wire the launcher.

You still need to get the API key yourself (it’s your Fieldwork password-equivalent).
Don’t paste the key into a random chat if you can drop it straight into .env.

When a copy-paste snippet still helps

• You’re on the website and don’t have an agent in the folder yet
• You’re on Claude Desktop, which doesn’t edit your disk the same way
• Someone else is setting up a machine without opening this repo

The endgame (see Roadmap) is a one-line remote URL + login, like LandingFolio — no Terminal, no JSON.

Quick start

1. Get your Fieldwork API key

Easiest path (in the Fieldwork app):

1. Go to Settings → Users & Routes
2. Open your user (or an API Integration user)
3. Open the Integration tab and copy the API Key

Help: Fieldwork APIs

2. Install

git clone https://github.com/daisydaines/fieldwork-mcp.git
cd fieldwork-mcp
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -e .
cp .env.example .env
# put FIELDWORK_API_KEY=... in .env

3. Connect your AI app

Cursor — ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fieldwork": {
      "command": "/ABS/PATH/TO/fieldwork-mcp/scripts/run_mcp.sh"
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop — same JSON in
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Claude Code:

claude mcp add fieldwork -- /ABS/PATH/TO/fieldwork-mcp/scripts/run_mcp.sh

Codex — add a stdio MCP server pointing at scripts/run_mcp.sh (same idea as Cursor).

Then restart the app and ask: How many customers do I have?

Hosted connect (no Dropbox-style OAuth)

Fieldwork does not offer a third-party OAuth login popup. Closest path:

./scripts/run_mcp_http.sh
# open http://127.0.0.1:8000/connect

Paste your API key once. You get a bearer token and a one-line snippet for Claude / Cursor / Codex. Also serves the Relay landing at /.

URL	What
http://127.0.0.1:8000/	Landing
http://127.0.0.1:8000/connect	Paste API key → connect token
http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp	Streamable HTTP MCP (Authorization: Bearer <token>)

For a shared deploy, set FIELDWORK_VAULT_SECRET (required) and FIELDWORK_PUBLIC_BASE_URL (e.g. https://mcp.example.com). See Dockerfile. Keep FIELDWORK_MCP_ALLOW_ENV_FALLBACK=0.
