From Construction Data to Answers: AI & MCP in Action

SCAL Events 23-Oct-2026


Construction teams already capture vast amounts of project data digitally, from Issues, RFIs and Submittals to drawings, models and quality records. The challenge now is turning that information into timely answers and practical outcomes without adding another disconnected workflow.

In this hands-on Masterclass, see how Autodesk Assistant brings a conversational AI experience into Autodesk Forma, then explore how open Autodesk APIs can extend it into contractor-specific workflows, reports and applications. Working in a prepared construction-project environment, participants will use an AI client connected to selected Autodesk APIs through an experimental Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector. Through guided exercises and a team challenge, you'll see how natural-language interaction can speed up the exploration and prototyping of ideas, with no deep software-development expertise required.

AI does not replace professional judgement or production-grade software development. This session instead explores how trusted project data, AI and open APIs can help contractors identify, test and validate new ways of working.


What You'll Learn

  • How Autodesk Assistant in Forma enables conversational access to project information
  • Open Autodesk APIs extend project data into custom workflows, reports and applications
  • To use an AI client with an MCP connector to prototype ideas in natural language How to identify, test and validate new ways of working with trusted project data
