About construction-takeoff-estimating

Estimaite is a hosted remote MCP server for construction estimators and agents. It turns drawing PDFs into measured takeoffs and priced estimates, with workflows for multiple trades and proposal export.

Key features

  1. 01Upload and inspect drawing sheets
  2. 02Calibrate or detect drawing scale
  3. 03Count symbols and measure areas, runs, and volumes
  4. 04Organize takeoffs by system, size, and material
  5. 05Price work and generate proposals
  6. 06Manage projects, clients, and assignees

Use cases

  1. 01Measure a construction plan set by trade
  2. 02Review takeoff measurements against drawing overlays
  3. 03Prepare a priced estimate or proposal
  4. 04Manage project and bid information

MCP support

The remote server exposes drawing, scale, takeoff, estimating, and project-management tools to MCP clients. It uses streamable HTTP and OAuth 2.1 authentication.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

From the project README

Estimaite MCP server

Construction takeoff and estimating for AI agents.

Estimaite reads a construction drawing PDF, measures and counts the scope on the sheet, prices it against editable material and labour rates, and returns an estimate. This repository holds the public manifest and connection docs for its remote MCP server, so an MCP client can drive the whole job: upload a plan set, set or auto-detect scale, take off by trade, price it, and export a priced estimate or proposal.

The server is hosted. There is nothing to install and no source in this repository.

Connect

Endpoint

https://mcp.esti-maite.com/mcp

Transport is streamable HTTP. Authentication is OAuth 2.1: the client opens a browser, you approve the connection against your Estimaite account, and the client stores the token. Any MCP client that supports remote servers with OAuth will work, including Claude and other MCP-capable assistants.

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add it as a remote MCP server pointing at the endpoint above and complete the browser approval when prompted.

What it can do

Roughly, and grouped the way an estimator works:

  • Drawings — upload a plan set, list sheets, read a sheet, extract text and schedules from it
  • Scale — calibrate from a known dimension, or auto-detect the plan scale
  • Takeoff — count symbols, measure linear runs, areas and volumes, organise into layers by system, size and material, and audit a sheet for what was missed
  • Estimating — price takeoffs against cost items, apply overhead and profit, and produce a proposal
  • Projects — create and manage projects, clients and assignees, and read the bid board

The full tool reference is in docs/tools.md. A connected client lists the live tool set, which is always the authoritative answer.

Trades

Nine, covering concrete and masonry, structural and misc steel, carpentry and framing, drywall, insulation and ceilings, HVAC and sheet metal, plumbing and fire protection, electrical and low voltage, finishes and roofing, and sitework and utilities. The method follows how each trade is actually taken off rather than one generic workflow.

Accuracy

Estimaite makes no published accuracy claim. Measurement accuracy is being evaluated on a small sample and no number is published, so none is asserted here. What the product does claim is structural: measurements are produced before an estimator opens the drawing, and the estimator reviews them against an overlay of what was measured.

In the MCP registry

Published as com.esti-maite/construction-takeoff-estimating, under a namespace verified against esti-maite.com.

curl 'https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers?search=construction-takeoff-estimating'

The entry is named for what the server does rather than for the brand because registry search matches the server name and ignores the description. server.json in this repository is the manifest that was published.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
