• Bentley’s MCP Server Shows How AI Can Work in Engineering Without Guessing

  08-06-2026 16:08 via logisticsviewpoints.com
  
  Bentley Systems has entered the MCP ecosystem demonstrating how AI can be applied to high-stakes engineering work.
  Model Context Protocol, or MCP, gives AI agents a standardized way to connect to software tools, data, and application functions. Instead of merely talking about an application, an AI assistant can act through it.
  That distinction matters in infrastructure engineering.
  Civil and structural engineers do not need AI systems that generate plausible answers. They need workflows grounde
