Can AI agents automate Bentley ProjectWise?
Bentley Systems · hybrid · aecdocument-controlconstruction
ProjectWise is automatable today through Bentley Web Services Gateway REST against a licensed datasource, not through a ProjectWise MCP server. The product page presents ProjectWise as infrastructure project delivery in a unified data environment, with Connect web and mobile review included in ProjectWise. WSG is the on-premise server that lets services, clients, and mobile apps access ProjectWise datasources. After deployment, GET https://SERVER/ws/v2.9/Repositories returns the configured repositories as JSON. The WSG Web API documentation that ships with the gateway states that repository calls need either an HTTP Basic Authorization header (base64 username:password) or a Token header understood by the plugin; supported token versions are Bentley STS and OAuth2. CONNECT-hosted WSG requires the Token header. The vendor MCP page names STAAD.Pro, MicroStation, iTwin IoT, PLS-CADD, TOWER, and PLS-POLE servers and does not list ProjectWise; that is not a declared absence of a first-party server, so ownership stays unknown. Access needs a ProjectWise install, WSG deployment, and datasource accounts. Computer-use viability is unassessed. API scores 6 and is the best path.
