MCP Prompt Catalog

Written by Elise Rowe

The Ingenious MCP server lets AI assistants (Claude and other MCP clients) work directly with your Ingenious.BUILD workspace — projects, budgets, contracts, RFIs, schedules, submittals, bids, and more.

Prompts are ready-made, guided workflows you can invoke by name. Invoke one and the assistant runs the relevant steps for you and returns a structured read-out. This page lists every available prompt.

This library is generated automatically from the MCP server on every production release, so it always reflects what is live.
