Valuable construction data has long stayed locked in silos. Now that AI tools are embedded in how teams work every day, the opportunity to act on data has never been more immediate.

Trackunit IrisX brings fragmented IoT and operational data together in one place, harmonized and ready to use. It is the operating data platform that connects machines, jobsites, and operational records across the construction industry.

IrisX MCP is how that intelligence reaches the AI tools your teams already use. Ask any question about your fleet in natural language, trigger workflows, configure access, all without leaving your AI tool.

What is Trackunit IrisX MCP?

IrisX MCP is built on IrisX, the operating data platform for construction. It follows the open Model Context Protocol standard, connecting any major AI client to your fleet data without custom development.

What makes IrisX MCP different is what sits behind it. IrisX collects close to 3 billion data points per day from construction equipment across 65 countries, structured and harmonized specifically for construction. Anyone can connect AI to data. Only Trackunit connects AI to construction-grade data at scale.

Connect leading AI clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot and your fleet data is available instantly. Your team controls exactly what the AI can see and do, with OAuth 2.1 authentication and ISO 27001 governance. You can revoke that access at any time.

What IrisX MCP gives your team:

  • Works with any MCP-compatible AI client, no vendor lock-in required
  • OAuth 2.1 authentication and ISO 27001 governance built in
  • Full control over what the AI can access, revocable at any time
  • New IrisX capabilities available through MCP automatically as the platform grows

Why IrisX MCP matters for rental companies

Rental margins live in utilization. Idle machines, out-of-contract usage that slips through, and service delays that keep assets off rent all cost money.

IrisX MCP gives rental teams a direct path from question to action. Which machines are idle across the depots? What needs servicing before the next rental window? Answers come in seconds, and teams can act on them without leaving their AI tool.

We are already seeing this in early trials. An enterprise fleet owner needed to reallocate machines across branches. That used to mean pulling reports, cleaning data, and aligning teams across multiple depots. What used to take days now takes two minutes

What IrisX MCP changes for your rental team:

  • Idle assets identified across all depots in seconds
  • Revenue loss from out-of-contract usage prevented before it slips through
  • Service issues resolved before they impact the next rental
  • Machine reallocation cut from days to minutes

Why IrisX MCP matters for OEMs

OEM product and engineering teams hold some of the richest machine data in the industry. Getting it to the right people fast enough to act on has always been the challenge.

With IrisX MCP, warranty teams, service engineers, and product managers can query live field data directly from the AI tools they already use. Fault patterns, warranty drivers, diagnostic summaries, all available in seconds.

They can also act on what they find. Diagnostic alerts get configured, insights get shared, findings reach engineering teams without anyone switching systems. Every machine in the field becomes a live input to the teams building the next one.

What IrisX MCP changes for your OEM team:

  • Fault patterns and warranty drivers surfaced from live field data
  • Diagnostic alerts configured directly from your AI tool
  • Model-level insights available instantly, without switching systems
  • Field intelligence in the hands of design and service teams in seconds, not days

Why IrisX MCP matters for contractors

Contractors manage owned and rented assets across multiple sites. Getting a clear fleet picture has always meant switching tools, chasing reports, and waiting on other teams.

IrisX MCP brings that picture together instantly. Project managers and site supervisors can ask plain-language questions about utilization, upcoming maintenance, and idle time across every site.

The answers drive action. Service gets scheduled before something breaks. Machines get moved before a project falls behind. The right equipment reaches the right place without a manual check.

What IrisX MCP changes for your contractor team:

  • Full asset picture across owned and rented equipment, all sites
  • Service scheduled proactively before breakdowns cause delays
  • Theft alerts set and machine placement decisions made from any AI client
  • No calls, no manual checks, no switching between tools
