Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Portravo Construction Takeoff every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

takeoff
get_takeoff
Read an owned construction project's plan files (attached from chat or uploaded in Portravo) and extracted takeoff quantities, trades, confidence and human review status. reviewRequired reports whether any line still needs estimator review. Quantities require estimator review before pricing or bidding.
get_takeoff_status
Read an owned project and its latest asynchronous takeoff progress, completion limitations and review link. Never advances or restarts a run, uses credits or changes billing. Poll this tool after run_takeoff returns a running result.
run_takeoff
Run the initial AI takeoff for a new project whose plan PDF was attached with attach_plan_pdf or uploaded by the user on the project page in Portravo. Call preflight_takeoff first and obtain approval for its selected trades and creditsRequired. Set confirmed_trades to the approved selection and max_credits to that approved ceiling (defaults to one for older clients). Uses only existing plan allowance and purchased credits, never billed overage; a changed selection/cost or insufficient balance is refused before starting. The isolated synthetic reviewer retains its bounded one-credit standard fixture. Repeating a call with the same idempotency_key does not charge again. Returns asynchronous progress; use get_takeoff_status until done, then get_takeoff for source-linked human review. A completed run is not a bid-ready estimate. Failed provider runs refund the reservation; existing review work cannot be overwritten.
attach
attach_plan_pdf
Attach a PDF the user selected in this conversation as the first plan for a new Portravo project. Plan PDFs must be 10 MiB or smaller. Accepts exactly one of plan, a host-provided download_url and file_id, or plan_inline, canonical base64 of the exact user-uploaded PDF bytes with file_name and application/pdf mime_type, up to 32 KiB. A PDF with no file link above 32 KiB, or any PDF above the direct limit, is uploaded in the browser at the project's reviewUrl instead. That browser path streams up to 50 MiB for the selected automatic trades. Projects that already have a plan or review work are refused, so existing work is never replaced. Repeating a call with the same idempotency_key returns the original result. Stores the selected PDF privately in the connected account; does not extract or consume credits.
export
export_reviewed_estimate
Get a short-lived Excel XLSX download for an owned Portravo estimate after every takeoff line has been reviewed and the estimate is priced or final. If review is incomplete, the call returns a review_required error with the Portravo review link, where quantities, assembly mappings and pricing are completed. Never exports unreviewed estimates.
preflight
preflight_takeoff
Before creating or starting a takeoff, inspect current automatic/team-assisted trades, the exact existing-credit requirement, balance, upload limits and review link. Supply either project_id or proposed trades, or neither to discover availability. Does not reserve credits, start work, buy anything or bill overage. Reviewer scope is identified separately.
pricing
list_pricing_markets
List the regional construction pricing markets supported by Portravo. The returned markets are the accepted metro_code values for create_project.
profile
get_profile
Identify the signed-in Portravo account after OAuth account linking.
project
create_project
Create a new construction estimate project in the connected Portravo account from a project name, an explicit trades selection returned by preflight_takeoff, an optional address and an optional supported metro_code. Trades are required for customer projects; only the isolated synthetic reviewer may omit them. Repeating a call with the same idempotency_key returns the original project instead of creating another. Returns reviewUrl, the project page where the user can also upload a plan PDF in the browser. Does not run extraction or consume estimate credits.
projects
list_projects
Find construction projects in the connected Portravo account, including draft, review, priced and final estimates. Returns 50 projects per page; nextOffset is the offset of the next page, or null on the last page.

Portravo Construction Takeoff — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Portravo Construction Takeoff do?
It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: attach_plan_pdf, create_project, export_reviewed_estimate, get_profile, get_takeoff, get_takeoff_status and 4 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 →
Is Portravo Construction Takeoff working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 2087 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Portravo Construction Takeoff?
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.
Does Portravo Construction Takeoff need an API key?
No. Portravo Construction Takeoff completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
