cotlet
cotlet_apps
The apps of the user's workspace and whether each works now: access granted or requested, the app account in the user's Cloud Browser (connected, signed out, signed in but not connected), and the one step the user has to take, with the console link. Free. Needs the user's Cotlet API key or sign-in.
cotlet_browser_click
Clicks a link, button or other element of the current page in the user's Contractor Foreman Cloud Browser, by its number in the page's element list, and returns the URL and title after the click. It acts as the user on that site. Buttons that pay or buy and buttons on account or sign-in pages are refused. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_close
Ends the session in the user's Contractor Foreman Cloud Browser: the browser keeps its cookies, goes to sleep and the per-minute charge stops. Returns the session's minutes and credits.
cotlet_browser_navigate
Opens a public http or https address in the user's Contractor Foreman Cloud Browser and returns the URL and title it ended on. Only Contractor Foreman pages open. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_open
Wakes the user's Contractor Foreman Cloud Browser, a real Chrome hosted on Cotlet and signed in to Contractor Foreman as the user. Use it for what the Contractor Foreman tools do not cover. Opens `url` when given and returns the page's URL and title. The user watches every step live. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_press
Presses one key on the current page in the user's Contractor Foreman Cloud Browser, on the element that has focus: Tab to the next field, Enter to send, Escape to close a dialog or pop-up, arrows to move through a suggestion list. Returns the URL and title after it. Enter on account pages is refused. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_read
Returns the current page of the user's Contractor Foreman Cloud Browser: its readable text, up to 20,000 characters, and a numbered list of its links, buttons and fields.

Returns a JPEG image of the visible part of the current page in the user's Contractor Foreman Cloud Browser, with its URL and title: boards, canvases and layouts that the page text does not show. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_scroll
Scrolls the current page in the user's Contractor Foreman Cloud Browser with the mouse wheel, as a person does: down or up by `screens` viewport heights (default 0.8), to the top or the bottom, or until element `element` is in view. Content that loads on scroll appears, and the next read lists it. Returns the URL, title and scroll position (at_top, at_bottom). Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_select
Chooses an option of a drop-down list on the current page in the user's Contractor Foreman Cloud Browser, by the list's number in the element list and the option's label as read lists it (or its value). Returns the URL and title after it. Card fields and account pages are refused. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_type

Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_browser_upload
Puts files into a file field of the current page in the user's Contractor Foreman Cloud Browser, or into the file picker that an upload button opens, by its number in the element list. A file is given as {"url": "https://..."} for a file online or {"file_id": "..."} for one uploaded to Cotlet first; up to 10 files, 20 MB each. Returns the URL and title after it. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.
cotlet_get_call

The report carries the error text and call_id when there is one, never passwords or tokens. Needs the user's Cotlet API key or sign-in.
cotlet_request_apps

project
add_project_note
Adds a note to a project's Notes tab. Writes a note on a Contractor Foreman project's Notes tab as the signed-in user, with an optional title. It is visible to the company's users with access to the project. Nobody is notified. Returns the saved note.
create_project
New project for a customer, with number, type, stage, address and dates. Adds a project in the stage you give (default pending) for a customer from your Directory. Without number the account's next project number is used. Accounts that number projects by hand need one. The project reaches nobody outside your company, so this tool runs without asking. Returns the project as get_project shows it.
get_project
One project: customer, address, stage, dates, contract amounts, costs, billing and retainage. Returns one project. The revised contract amount is the original contract plus approved change orders, as the project shows it. Costs are budgeted, committed and actual. Billing is invoiced, paid and outstanding invoices, with retainage held shown apart. Amounts are in dollars. Use project_id from list_projects.
list_project_crew_hours
Hours and labor cost logged on one project, per employee and per day and cost code. Reads the time logged on a Contractor Foreman project (the project's Time Cards tab): every entry with the day, employee, cost code, regular and overtime hours and labor cost, plus a sum per employee (most hours first) and the project total. days counts the distinct days an employee logged. Cost uses the wages in the Directory and is 0 when no wage is set. Optional date range.
list_project_files
Photos and documents on a project, with name, size and a download link. Reads a Contractor Foreman project's Files tab, newest first: file name, title, whether it is an image, size, notes, tags, when it was added and a download link. The app signs the links and they expire about 30 days after the call (the expires parameter). Call again for fresh ones.
list_project_notes
The notes on a project's Notes tab, with author and time. Reads the notes kept on a Contractor Foreman project's Notes tab, oldest first: title, text, who added it, when (in the account's date format) and how many files are attached.
update_project
Change a project's name, stage, type, address, dates or description. Changes only the fields you pass and returns the project as get_project shows it. A completed project drops out of list_projects unless include_completed is true. Editing the schedule can move the project dates again. Nothing reaches the customer, so this tool runs without asking.
change
add_change_order_items
Adds priced line items to a change order or change order request. Adds line items at the end of the change order's first section: name, type (material, labor, equipment, subcontractor, other), quantity, unit, unit cost in dollars and markup percent. The app computes totals. Returns the saved items and the new total.
create_change_order
Creates a change order or change order request on a project, with line items. Saves a new change order (status open) or change order request (status draft) on a project, for the project's customer. description records the reason. items are priced lines (name, type, quantity, unit, unit cost in dollars, markup percent, cost code). The app computes the total. Nothing is sent. send_change_order emails it after your OK, update_change_order sets the status.
delete_change_order
Deletes a change order or change order request for good. Deletes the change order and its items. It cannot be undone. To keep the record, use update_change_order with status denied instead.
get_change_order
One change order or request with description, status, total and line items. Everything on one change order or change order request: number, title, status, project, customer, date, the reason (description), the estimate it came from, time delay and the priced line items.
list_change_orders
Change orders and change order requests, newest first, with status, project and total. The Change Orders list: number, title, kind (change_order or request), status, project, customer, date and total in dollars. Filter by project, kind, status or a search over title and number. Archived ones only with include_archived. Change orders have the statuses open, pending_approval, on_hold, approved, denied, billed. Requests have draft, on_hold, approved, denied, closed. A status that does not fit the kind stops the call. get_change_order gives the line items.
update_change_order
Changes a change order's status, title, reason or date. Sets only the fields you pass. Change order statuses: open, pending_approval, on_hold, approved (Unbilled/Approved, counts toward the contract), denied, billed. Change order request statuses: draft, on_hold, approved, denied, closed. A status of the other kind stops the call. Nobody is emailed. send_change_order does that.
estimate
add_estimate_items
Adds priced line items to an existing estimate. Adds line items at the end of an estimate section (the first one unless section_id says otherwise). Each item has a name, a type (material, labor, equipment, subcontractor, other), quantity, unit, your unit cost in dollars and a markup percent. Contractor Foreman computes the totals. cost_code_id comes from list_cost_codes. Returns the saved items and the new estimate total.
create_estimate
Creates a draft estimate on a project or for a customer, with priced line items. Saves a new estimate in the Estimating status, unit-price billing, dated today. With project_id it belongs to that project and its customer. Without one, customer_id is required. items are priced lines (name, type, quantity, unit, unit cost in dollars, markup percent, cost code). The app computes totals. Nothing is sent: send_estimate does that after your OK. More lines later with add_estimate_items, other fields with update_estimate.
delete_estimate
Deletes an estimate for good. Deletes the estimate and its line items, as Delete in the estimate's menu does. Records made from it (projects, change orders, invoices) stay. It cannot be undone. To keep the history, use update_estimate with status lost instead.
get_estimate
One estimate with customer, dates, terms, totals and every line item. Everything on one estimate: status, project, customer contact, estimate and expiry dates, billing type, description, inclusions, exclusions, terms, totals in dollars and the line items by section (type, quantity, unit, unit cost, markup, total, cost code). section_id is what add_estimate_items takes to put new items in a section.
remove_estimate_items
Deletes line items from an estimate. Deletes the given line items (item_id from get_estimate) and returns the new estimate total. An item_id that is not on the estimate stops the call before anything is deleted. The app refuses while the estimate is pending_approval, approved or completed: set it back to estimating with update_estimate first.
update_estimate
Changes an estimate's status, title, dates, description, inclusions or exclusions. Sets only the fields you pass. status moves the estimate on the Estimates board: estimating, pending_approval, on_hold, re_estimating, approved, completed or lost. Marking it approved here does not email anyone. send_estimate sends it. Line items change with add_estimate_items and remove_estimate_items.
invoice
add_invoice_items
Adds priced line items to an invoice. Adds plain priced lines at the end of an invoice: name, type, quantity, unit, unit cost in dollars, markup percent. Items billed from an estimate, change order or schedule of values are added in the app. Returns the saved items, the new total and the balance due.
create_invoice
Creates a draft invoice for a project or customer, with priced line items. Saves a new invoice in the Draft status. With project_id it bills that project's customer. Without one, customer_id is required. A description needs due_date in the same call. items are plain priced lines (name, type, quantity, unit, unit cost in dollars, markup percent). It is not sent. update_invoice with status submitted marks it sent and lets record_payment take payments. send_invoice emails it after your OK.
delete_invoice
Deletes an invoice that has no payments, for good. Deletes the invoice and its items. It cannot be undone. An invoice with payments recorded is refused. For that one, or to keep the record, use update_invoice with status write_off or denied.
get_invoice
One invoice with customer, dates, terms, line items, payments and balance due. Everything on one invoice: status, project, customer and their email, invoice and due dates, terms, retainage, total, amount paid and balance due in dollars, the line items and every payment recorded against it (date, amount, method, status).
update_invoice
Changes an invoice's status, invoice date, due date or description. Sets only the fields you pass. Statuses: draft, submitted (sent to the customer, payments can be recorded), on_hold, paid, denied, write_off. Contractor Foreman needs a due date on every change, so an invoice without one needs due_date in the same call. Nobody is emailed. send_invoice does that.
daily
create_daily_log
New daily log on a project: work notes, people, deliveries, weather notes and delays. Adds a daily log to the project for the date you give (arrival 07:00 unless you say otherwise) and returns it as get_daily_log shows it. Contractor Foreman records the weather for the date and the project address itself, and weather_notes sits next to it. notes must not be empty. people takes a headcount per crew or free text. The log reaches no client or crew and update_daily_log can edit it, so this tool runs without asking. One project can have several logs on one date: check list_daily_logs first.
get_daily_log
One daily log: work notes, people and visitors, materials, equipment, weather and delays. Returns one daily log in full: the work performed, crew notes and employees on site, visitors, materials, equipment used with hours, the weather Contractor Foreman recorded for the date and the address (temperatures in both scales, the day's conditions), your weather notes and any weather or schedule delay. Read only.
list_daily_logs
Daily logs by date, optionally for one project and a date range. Returns daily logs in the order of the Daily Logs list, with date, arrival time, project and who wrote them, and total, the count of logs that match. Filter by project and by from/to dates (both inclusive). get_daily_log gives one log in full: notes, people, materials, equipment and the weather. Pages hold up to 100 logs; pass next_cursor back as cursor.
update_daily_log
Change the notes, times, people, deliveries, weather notes or delays of a daily log. Replaces only the fields you pass and returns the log as get_daily_log shows it. Text fields are replaced, not appended: read the log first to add to its notes. materials_delivered replaces the material notes. weather_delay, schedule_delay and visitors can mark a delay or a visit but not clear it. The log date and project do not change. The log reaches no client or crew, so this tool runs without asking.
service
create_service_ticket
Opens a service ticket for a customer, optionally scheduled for a date and time. Creates a Contractor Foreman service ticket for a customer from the Directory: title, description, an optional project and the planned service date and time. The service address is the customer's (or the project's). With a date it is Scheduled, without one Unscheduled. Technicians are assigned in the app. The customer is not notified. Returns the saved ticket, with service_time on the 12-hour clock (02:00 PM).

Filter by project or search.
update_service_ticket_status
Moves a service ticket to scheduled, en route, checked in, completed, closed and so on. Sets the status of a Contractor Foreman service ticket as the status field on its page does: unscheduled, scheduled, en_route, checked_in, requires_followup, canceled, completed or closed. The app's own en-route and completion emails to the customer are separate buttons and are not sent. Completed moves the service date to today, as the app does. Returns the ticket as saved.
work
create_work_order
Creates an Open work order on a project with subject, description and dates. Creates a Contractor Foreman work order in Open status on a project, issued by the signed-in user, for the project's customer: subject, description, start and end date. It has no line items.

send
send_change_order
Emails the change order as a PDF to the customer or to the addresses you give. Sends the change order (or request) PDF by email from Contractor Foreman, as the panel's View/Email PDF does. Without to it goes to the project's customer, and a customer without an email stops the call. The approval call shows recipients and subject first.

It only records money already received. It charges nobody and emails nobody. The invoice must be submitted (update_invoice) and the amount cannot exceed the balance due. A payment that clears the balance marks the invoice paid.
rfi
create_rfi
Drafts a request for information on a project, with the question and a reply-by date. Creates a Contractor Foreman RFI in Draft status on a project, from the signed-in user, dated now: title, question, the area and plan sheet it refers to and the date a response is needed by. It is not sent to anyone. Submitting it to the architect or owner stays a step in the app. Returns the saved RFI.
get_rfi
One RFI with its question, dates, answer and status. Reads one Contractor Foreman RFI by rfi_id, with the same fields as list_rfis.
schedule
list_schedule_tasks
Gantt schedule tasks of a project: dates, duration, dependencies, assignees, percent complete. Returns the tasks of the project schedule in Gantt order. kind is task, milestone or summary (a group whose dates follow its subtasks). end_date is the task's last day, inclusive. depends_on lists the tasks this one waits for, with the link type and lag in days. Use task_id with update_schedule_task. An empty list means the project has no schedule yet.
update_schedule_task
Change the name, dates, length or percent complete of a task on the project schedule. Changes one task and returns it as the schedule shows it afterwards. start_date alone moves the task and keeps its length; end_date or duration_days change the length. Tasks that depend on it are not moved: check depends_on in list_schedule_tasks and move them too. The project's start and end dates follow the schedule. A schedule edit reaches nobody outside your company and one more call undoes it, so this tool runs without asking.
time
get_time_card
One time card or crew sheet with hours per employee and cost code. Reads one Contractor Foreman time card by timecard_id: what list_time_cards gives plus one entry per employee and cost code with the hours worked and the entry's notes. A crew sheet lists every crew member.

Time cards with employee or crew, project, clock-in and clock-out times and hours, newest first. Reads the Contractor Foreman Time Cards list, newest first: employee cards and crew sheets with the project, day, clock-in and clock-out time, hours worked and break hours.

list_bills
Vendor bills with vendor, project, dates, total, balance due and status. Reads the Contractor Foreman Bills list, newest first: bill number, subject, vendor, project, bill date, due date, total, balance still due and status (Open, Paid). Filter by project or search. get_bill adds the line items.

The Invoices list: number, status (draft, submitted, on_hold, paid, denied, write_off), project, customer, invoice and due dates, total and balance due in dollars, and overdue (past the due date with a balance). Archived invoices are left out. unpaid_only keeps submitted and on-hold invoices that still have a balance. status, when given, replaces the unpaid_only status filter. unpaid_only and due_before filter the page you get, so a page can hold fewer than limit. Keep the cursor going until next_cursor is null. get_invoice gives the items and payments.
job
get_job_costing
Estimated and actual cost per cost code for one project, with the difference and totals. Sums the project's Job Cost Actual report per cost code: contract value, estimated cost (from the Schedule of Values or the approved estimates, plus change orders), actual cost split into bills, expenses, time cards and equipment, the difference (estimated minus actual, negative means over) and the amount invoiced. Time card hours are priced at labor_rate (default burden_rate). Costs with no cost code are under Unassigned. Amounts are in dollars. Read only.

Contractor Foreman by Cotlet — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Contractor Foreman by Cotlet do?
It exposes 106 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: add_change_order_items, add_estimate_items, add_invoice_items, add_project_note, cotlet_apps, cotlet_browser_click and 100 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Contractor Foreman by Cotlet mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around cotlet, project and estimate. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Contractor Foreman by Cotlet working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 182 of 182 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 225 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did Contractor Foreman by Cotlet ever remove tools?
Yes. cotlet_balance, cotlet_browser_connect, cotlet_browser_sessions are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect Contractor Foreman by Cotlet?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to Contractor Foreman by Cotlet?
No API key is involved. Contractor Foreman by Cotlet answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is Contractor Foreman by Cotlet?
It answers our handshake in 225 ms on average, which is faster than 73% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Contractor Foreman by Cotlet?
The pypi package contractor-foreman-api-mcp was installed 296 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Contractor Foreman by Cotlet open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python and 2 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
