Bentley Systems
Add Bentley Systems to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a Bentley Systems integration so your customers can work their own infrastructure engineering projects, model files, and asset documentation from inside your product, with governed agent access to the same content. Access runs through each customer's own authorisation, so their existing project permissions apply and your product cannot read documents the connected account could not read itself. fastn handles per-tenant auth and API upkeep, so onboarding another engineering organisation is configuration rather than a release.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers connect their own Bentley Systems projects and browse the documents and model files in them from inside your product.
Read project documentation and its versions so your product shows the current revision rather than a stale copy.
Upload and file generated documents back into the customer's project structure without leaving your product.
Trigger your product when a document is added or a new revision is published in a connected project.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent reads project documentation to answer an engineering question grounded in the customer's own files.
An agent files a generated report into the right project folder within governed permissions.
An agent reacts to a new document revision and starts the review workflow.
Example prompt
List documents in this project revised in the last week and summarise what changed in each.
Set up Bentley Systems in 4 steps
- 01Open the Bentley Systems connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authorise their own Bentley account and select the projects your product may access.
- 03Map the document and project fields your product uses, then enable actions and triggers.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the Bentley Systems integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Bentley Systems integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Bentley Systems account inside your product and work their files, documents and versions there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: permissions and versioning are easy to get subtly wrong, and mistakes expose content. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Bentley Systems update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Bentley Systems connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you let your product work with your customers' documents in place without wiring it twice.

AsanaBentley Systems integration FAQ
How do I add a Bentley Systems integration to my product?
Enable the Bentley Systems connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Bentley Systems account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Bentley Systems client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Bentley Systems account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Bentley Systems account and only ever sees their own files, documents and versions. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Bentley Systems integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reads project documentation to answer an engineering question grounded in the customer's own files.
Who maintains the Bentley Systems integration?
fastn does. When Bentley Systems changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Whose permissions does the Bentley Systems integration run under?
Each customer's own Bentley Systems grant. Where Bentley Systems holds a library, their existing folder and item permissions apply and your product cannot reach content the connected account could not reach itself. Where it processes content you supply rather than storing it, the call runs under that customer's own credentials and is logged per tenant.
Can my product create or update content in Bentley Systems automatically?
Where Bentley Systems supports writes, documents, entries and assets can be created, updated and filed from your product or by an agent within scoped permissions, with each action logged. Where it is a read surface, the same connection serves reads only.
What can I build with the Bentley Systems integration?
A common starting point: connect their own Bentley Systems projects and browse the documents and model files in them from inside your product. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Bentley Systems integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Bentley Systems does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
