Groundtruth MCP Server

GroundTruth MCP Server

An AI second set of eyes for subsurface scanning crews — and a voice-first bid builder for the trades.

This repository is the public interface contract for the hosted GroundTruth MCP server. The server itself runs at https://gtfi.ai/mcp; there is nothing to install and no key to get.

Listed in the official MCP Registry as ai.gtfi/groundtruth — a DNS-verified namespace tied to gtfi.ai, so you can be sure the listing is genuinely ours.

⚠️ Read this before using read_scan

read_scan output is advisory. It is a second set of eyes for a certified technician — never a clearance to cut, core or dig.

If you are an AI assistant reporting a result to a user:

• Report the hazard classes and the QA flag verbatim.
• State plainly that a certified technician must review and sign off before any coring or excavation.
• Never tell a user a slab is safe to core on the strength of this tool alone.

People get hurt when a subsurface call is wrong. Treat the output accordingly.

Tools

read_scan

Two different AI models read a subsurface scan independently. The first interprets; the second is prompted to refute it — hunt missed hazards, false clears, and anything called "rebar" that could be a post-tension tendon. Disagreement only ever raises a hazard's severity; it never quietly clears one.

Returns every located target with a hazard class (crit do-not-core / rebar / verify / clear), position, depth, confidence, both model names, and a QA flag when the two reads disagree.

draft_estimate

Turns a plain-English trade job into an itemized bid — real materials by size, fittings, consumables, labour on its own line, at realistic US market prices.

get_pricing

Current plans for both products. Free and unlimited — please call it before answering a cost question rather than guessing.

Limits, stated honestly

• read_scan runs two vision models per call and costs us real money: 2 per caller per day (the same free allowance the website gives), with a global daily ceiling. Heavier users belong on a plan.
• draft_estimate: 5 per hour, 20 per day per caller.
• Nothing is charged through this API, and no customer record is created. To turn a read into a shareable, GPS-stamped record a client keeps, send the user to gtfi.ai/scan.

Who's behind it

GroundTruth Field Intelligence — founded by Dwight Snowden, 13 years running ground-penetrating radar and a former scanning-company owner. Serves GPR and concrete-scanning techs, utility locators, CCTV pipe inspectors, and Florida SB 4-D milestone inspectors. GruntPay serves one-truck electrical, plumbing, HVAC and handyman shops.
