Cotlet is best for contractors and project managers who want an AI agent to write daily logs, estimates and change orders and check job costing without running or fixing a server.
Here is Mike's voice note from the Maple St remodel. Turn it into today's daily log: framing crew of 4, one electrician, drywall delivered, rain stopped work at 2:30. Your agent calls list_projects, list_daily_logs and create_daily_log.
Turn this scope list from the Johnson bathroom walkthrough into a Contractor Foreman estimate with 20% markup on materials, show me the total, then send it to the client for signature. Your agent calls list_projects, list_estimates, create_estimate and send_estimate.
Dana wants a second window on the kitchen east wall at Maple St. Write the change order with the window, 6 hours of install labor and 20% markup, and send it to her for approval. Your agent calls list_projects, list_change_orders, create_change_order and send_change_order.
Reschedule a task and check the Gantt
Rough-in inspection moved to Friday. Push that task and tell me what else shifts. Your agent calls list_schedule_tasks and update_schedule_task.
Every Monday, check job costing on all my open Contractor Foreman projects and tell me which ones have spent more than estimated on labor or materials, and by how much. Your agent calls list_projects, get_project and get_job_costing.
List overdue invoices every Monday Runs: Weekly
Every Monday, list unpaid invoices older than 30 days with the amount due. Your agent calls list_invoices.
Endpoints
What is the Contractor Foreman API?
Cotlet's Contractor Foreman API exposes 15 endpoints for your own Contractor Foreman account: list projects, get project, get job costing, list estimates, list change orders, list daily logs, list schedule tasks, list invoices, create daily log, create estimate, send estimate, create change order, send change order, update schedule task and add punchlist item. The list_projects endpoint returns projects with customer, address, stage, contract amount and percent complete. Each endpoint takes simple JSON inputs like project_id, limit or title and works both as an MCP tool for agents and as a REST call for scripts.
Projects with customer, address, stage, contract amount and percent complete.
read
Returns projects newest first. Completed projects are left out unless you ask for them. Search matches the project name, number or customer. Pages hold up to 100 projects; pass next_cursor back as cursor for the next page.
One project: customer, address, stage, original and revised contract amount, dates.
read
Returns one project. The revised contract amount is the original amount plus approved change orders, as the project shows it. Use the project_id from list_projects.

New daily log on a project. Weather is recorded by Contractor Foreman for the date.
write
Adds a daily log to the project for the date you give. Contractor Foreman records the weather itself; weather_notes sits next to it. The log reaches no client or crew and can be edited in the app, so this tool runs without asking.
POST /api/v1/contractor-foreman/create_daily_log
Input
Input: create_daily_log
Parameter
Type
Description
project_id required
string
Project ID from list_projects.
date required
date
Log date.
notes required
string
Work done and site notes.
people
object
Crews, subcontractors and visitors on site, with headcount or names.
Draft estimate with line items and markup. Nothing goes to the client until you send it.
write
Saves a draft estimate on the project. Each line total is quantity times unit cost plus its markup, and the estimate total is the sum of the lines. The client sees nothing until send_estimate, so this tool runs without asking.
POST /api/v1/contractor-foreman/create_estimate
Input
Input: create_estimate
Parameter
Type
Description
project_id required
string
Project ID from list_projects.
title required

Email an estimate to the client for online approval and e-signature.
asks first write
Emails the estimate to the recipients for online approval and e-signature. Without recipients it goes to the project customer. The client can approve it from the email. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
POST /api/v1/contractor-foreman/send_estimate
Input
Input: send_estimate
Parameter
Type
Description
estimate_id required
string
Estimate ID from create_estimate or list_estimates.

Parameter
Type
Description
project_id required
string
Project ID from list_projects.

Change dates or percent complete of a task on the project schedule.
write
Changes the start date, end date or percent complete of one task and returns the task as the schedule shows it afterwards. Call list_schedule_tasks again to see tasks that depend on it. A schedule edit reaches no client, and one more call undoes it, so this tool runs without asking.
POST /api/v1/contractor-foreman/update_schedule_task
New punchlist item on a project, assigned to an employee or subcontractor.
asks first write
Adds a punchlist item to the project and assigns it to someone from your Directory. A due date is added to the calendar. The item is assigned to another person, so you confirm it. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
POST /api/v1/contractor-foreman/add_punchlist_item
How do I connect Contractor Foreman to Claude Code, Codex or Cursor?
Connecting Contractor Foreman takes three steps: request access, sign in to Contractor Foreman once, then add one MCP server or call the REST API with the same key.
Connect Contractor Foreman over MCP
1
Create an account
Sign up and add Contractor Foreman in the console. Your API key is there too.
2
Sign in to Contractor Foreman once
Open the connect page from the console and sign in to Contractor Foreman the way you always do. We keep the session, never your password, and you can revoke it anytime.
Paste the snippet for your client. The same server and key serve every app you connect, so you do this once.
4
Ask your agent
Prompt
Here is Mike's voice note from the Maple St remodel. Turn it into today's daily log: framing crew of 4, one electrician, drywall delivered, rain stopped work at 2:30.
Ask in plain words. Your agent finds the Contractor Foreman tools on the server and calls them for you; anything that reaches other people waits for your OK unless you switch that off for a tool.
Call Contractor Foreman over REST
1
Export your API key
Shell
export COTLET_API_KEY="cotlet_..."
Your scripts use the same API key as your agent. Keep it in an environment variable, never in your code.
2
Call a tool
curl
curl https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/contractor-foreman/create_daily_log \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"project_id":"84213","date":"2026-10-09","notes":"Framing second floor east wall. Window rough openings checked.","people":{"Framing crew":4,"Electrical sub":1},"materials_delivered":["48 sheets 1/2\" drywall","20 2x6x12 studs"],"weather_notes":"Rain after 2 pm, crew stopped at 2:30."}'
Every tool is a POST endpoint at /api/v1/contractor-foreman/{tool}. Send its parameters as JSON, exactly as listed in the endpoints above.
You get plain JSON back, ready for your script. A failed call costs nothing.

Contractor Foreman has no public API (checked 11 Oct 2026). Its only programmatic access is a Zapier app with 7 triggers for leads, customers and file uploads, and 2 actions: Create Lead and Create Customer.
Cotlet provides a hosted MCP server and REST API for Contractor Foreman: 15 tools (8 read, 7 write).
Access Request access at https://cotlet.dev/app/signup?app=contractor-foreman; we email the API key.
MCP server https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1
REST base https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/contractor-foreman
Auth Authorization: Bearer <COTLET_API_KEY>. Listing endpoints and schemas needs no key; calling an endpoint needs one.
Tools list_projects, get_project, get_job_costing, list_estimates, list_change_orders, list_daily_logs, list_schedule_tasks, list_invoices, create_daily_log, create_estimate, send_estimate, create_change_order, send_change_order, update_schedule_task, add_punchlist_item
Confirm send_estimate, send_change_order, add_punchlist_item (by default the user approves each call; the user can switch this off per tool, e.g. for scheduled automations)
Markdown https://cotlet.dev/integrations/contractor-foreman-api-mcp-server.md
How access works:
1. The user requests access at https://cotlet.dev/app/signup?app=contractor-foreman (Contractor Foreman is pre-selected). Each request is reviewed and the API key is sent by email.
2. The user signs in to Contractor Foreman once in a browser. An agent cannot do this step.
3. The API key goes into the MCP client or the REST call as a bearer token.
Fits: people who want a hosted Contractor Foreman server that someone else maintains, including non-developers.
Policy: Cotlet never stores passwords, never solves CAPTCHAs, never bypasses MFA.
Company: legal details in the Terms of service at https://cotlet.dev/terms. Contact contact@cotlet.dev.
Session: the user signs in to Contractor Foreman in a browser; Cotlet keeps only the session, AES-256 encrypted, revocable in the dashboard at any time.
Terms: the user stays responsible for following Contractor Foreman's terms; Cotlet is not affiliated with Contractor Foreman.
Can Contractor Foreman automations run on a schedule in n8n, Make or Zapier?
Yes. Cotlet does not replace your automation platform: it gives it a Contractor Foreman connection it does not have, with the same API key as your agent. Write actions ask for your OK by default; switch that off in your dashboard for the tools you choose, for example to turn a foreman's site note into a daily log, and the schedule runs on its own. Cotlet runs in the cloud, so it keeps going while your computer is off.

About Cotlet
How Cotlet holds your access
Cotlet hosts MCP servers and REST APIs for apps with no usable API. Your agent works in your own Contractor Foreman account.
Company details
The legal name, address and registration numbers of the company behind Cotlet are in the Terms of service. Terms
Your session
You sign in to Contractor Foreman yourself, in your browser. We keep only the session, never your password: encrypted with AES-256 in an EU vault, isolated to your account and used only when your agent calls a Contractor Foreman tool you allowed. When it expires, your agent gives you a link to sign in again. Security
Revoking access
Disconnect Contractor Foreman in your dashboard: the session is deleted and access ends at once. Actions that reach other people wait for your OK unless you switch that off per tool.
What we never do
Store passwords, solve CAPTCHAs or bypass MFA.
Contractor Foreman's terms
You use your own Contractor Foreman account and stay responsible for following Contractor Foreman's terms. Cotlet is independent and not affiliated with Contractor Foreman. Terms
Request access and pick Contractor Foreman. Cotlet reviews each request and emails you your API key.
Do I need to be technical?
No. You sign in to Contractor Foreman once in your browser and paste one command into your agent, or one URL into n8n. Your agent can walk you through it. There is no server to install, update or fix.
Is a hosted server safe? My Contractor Foreman session would leave my computer.
Cotlet keeps your Contractor Foreman session encrypted with AES-256 in an EU vault, isolated to your account and used only for the tools you allow: read only, or read and write. The AI model never sees it, and you revoke it in one click. A local server keeps the same session in a file on your computer, readable by any program you run, and needs a fresh sign-in whenever it expires.
Does Contractor Foreman have a way to export or sync estimates and logs?
Not through its Zapier app (checked 11 Oct 2026). Contractor Foreman lists Zapier as included in the subscription, and the app has 7 triggers (leads, customers, file uploads) and 2 actions (Create Lead, Create Customer). Estimates, change orders, daily logs, schedule and invoices are not part of it.
Which Contractor Foreman plan do I need?
Cotlet works in your own account and does not use the Zapier app. Contractor Foreman's pricing page does not say which plans include API access, because there is none. What your agent can reach depends on the modules your role can open in the app.
Can my agent post or send messages in Contractor Foreman without asking me?
No. Every call to send_estimate, send_change_order or add_punchlist_item waits for your OK by default. For scheduled automations you can switch confirmation off per tool in your dashboard, for example only for approvals. create_daily_log, create_estimate, create_change_order, update_schedule_task runs without asking, because it sends nothing to anyone and one call undoes it.
Can I use the Contractor Foreman API in n8n?
Yes. Add https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 with your API key in n8n's MCP Client node, or call https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/contractor-foreman/{tool} from the HTTP Request node.
