Start using ContractorTasksAI.

This page is for after ContractorTasksAI is installed. Use it to confirm the connection, run your first workflow, understand credits, and fix the most common first-use issues.

Install ContractorTasksAI Browse Task Library

First, confirm it is connected

Open the AI assistant where you installed ContractorTasksAI and start a new conversation. Then ask:

Check my ContractorTasksAI credit balance.
If your balance appears, the connection is working. Searches, category browsing, and balance checks do not use a credit.
If the assistant says it cannot find ContractorTasksAI, fully quit and reopen the AI assistant. Many MCP clients load tools only when the app starts.

Try a first workflow

You do not need to know the exact workflow name. Describe the task in ordinary language and ask ContractorTasksAI to search first.

Use ContractorTasksAI to search for a workflow about Draft a change order request.
Use ContractorTasksAI to show me available categories.
Use ContractorTasksAI to help with Draft a change order request.

ContractorTasksAI will return matching workflows. Pick the one you want to run. A credit is used when a licensed workflow is launched, not when you search or browse.

How to work with the assistant

What you want What to ask
Check credits Check my ContractorTasksAI balance.
Browse broadly Show me ContractorTasksAI categories.
Find the right workflow Search ContractorTasksAI for a workflow about [your task].
Run a chosen workflow Run the ContractorTasksAI workflow named [workflow name or ID].
For best results, give the assistant your role, the situation, any relevant deadline or constraint, and the document, analysis, or action you need.

Credits and account approval

Most workflows use 1 credit and can produce a local file you can keep, edit, or share. Balance checks, category browsing, and search are free.

When installation or account approval is needed, use the email address for your ContractorTasksAI account. Manual license-key entry is only a backup path.

Privacy in plain English

ContractorTasksAI servers handle account approval, credits, catalog/search metadata, and licensed workflow delivery. ContractorTasksAI does not receive your task prompts, uploaded documents, or task answers.

After the licensed workflow is delivered, your chosen AI assistant runs the workflow according to that assistant provider's privacy terms and settings.

If something is not working

The assistant says npm is unavailable

Install Node.js first. Node.js is a standard helper app used by many modern tools, and it includes npm automatically. Go to nodejs.org, download the recommended installer for your computer, run it, reopen your AI assistant, and paste the install prompt again.

ContractorTasksAI does not appear in your AI assistant

Fully quit and reopen the assistant. If it still does not appear, go back to the install page and paste the install prompt again so the assistant can re-check the setup.

The assistant asks for approval

Approve ContractorTasksAI when your AI assistant asks. In Claude Desktop, you may also need to set the ContractorTasksAI tools to always allow in the connector settings.
