Kamai — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Connects Kamai construction blueprints and takeoff tables to your assistant. Inspect rooms and wall areas extracted directly from PDF plans.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://mcp.kamai.io/mcpWhat Kamai does
This MCP server links your development client with Kamai construction projects. It lets models inspect blueprints and list detected elements. The assistant can inspect doors and walls through tool calls. Takeoff values return as structured tables.
A local run relies on Bun. It talks to the host over stdio with a personal key. Building the widgets locally requires Bun 1.3.3 and Node.js 22.12 or newer. Without an active key, requests fail immediately.
What it helps with
- extract material takeoff quantities from a PDF blueprint
- calculate net wall surface area for paint or plaster
- filter building elements by folder, tag, and category
- assign heights and tags to wall openings like doors
Example prompts for the agent
- Show the takeoff quantities and room elements for the current blueprint
- Calculate the net wall surface area across all bedrooms
- Generate a download link for the marked-up blueprint PDF
