Access needs a sales contract, since no price, trial or self-serve sign-up is published. The agent SDK and local MCP server have stayed at a release candidate since 14 January 2026.\n\n**Procore AI Go.** Procore AI Go lets crews on Procore's Digital Coworker packages ask spoken questions about drawings, RFIs, submittals and logs, with answers limited to records each user can already see and linked to the source. It is a read-only iOS beta through TestFlight, and no API or MCP tool reaches it, so an outside agent can't use it.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Alation\n\n1. Ask a Server Admin to register an OAuth client application with the lowest role that fits. Only admins can create one, and the secret is shown once\n2. Pin `alation-ai-agent-mcp==1.0.0rc3`. An unpinned install resolves to 0.12.0, which predates the catalogue search agent\n3. Call `catalog_context_search_agent` for catalogue questions. `alation_context` is deprecated and its description tells models not to call it directly\n4. Watch `X-Entitlement-Usage` on Aggregated Context API responses. The 2,000 free calls never reset, and a quota 429 is not retryable\n5. Page with `limit` and `skip` and follow `X-Next-Page`. The BI Source API uses `offset`, and one call returns at most 1,000 objects\n\n### Procore AI Go\n\n1. Don't plan to call Procore AI Go. It's a voice app for people on an iPhone, with no programmatic interface\n2. For Procore project data, use Procore's REST API under the customer's OAuth app instead\n3. Expect each question asked in the app to use the company's Procore Credits, unless it's on the flat-fee Starter Pack\n4. Ask the Procore Company Administrator to join the programme in Procore Explore if a crew needs the app\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Alation or Procore AI Go?\n\nAlation scores 60.3 (C) on agent readiness against Procore AI Go's 24.4 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Can an agent call Alation and Procore AI Go without installing anything?\n\nAlation runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed.
