## Documentation

## What steel-tools does

The steel-tools MCP server provides read-only calculators for common steel reference tasks. Its listed capabilities cover four areas: gauge thickness, plate weight, AISC shape weights, and connections. This makes it relevant to agent workflows that need to look up or calculate steel-related values while leaving source systems unchanged.

The available listing identifies the project as a developer tool and describes the calculators as read-only. It does not explain the calculation formulas, supported units, accepted input formats, returned fields, or validation behavior. Those details should be confirmed from the project documentation before building a workflow that depends on a particular result format.

## Tools and capabilities

The steel-tools MCP server is described as offering these calculator areas:

- Gauge thickness calculations
- Plate weight calculations
- AISC shape weight calculations
- Connection calculations

The material does not provide individual tool names, parameter schemas, examples, or response samples. As a result, an integration can be evaluated at the capability level, but not against a specific tool-call interface from the supplied information alone.

These capabilities may fit engineering or fabrication-oriented agent tasks that require steel calculations as part of a larger reasoning process. Because the tools are explicitly read-only, the listing supports calculation and reference use cases rather than updates to a database, design file, inventory system, or other external application.

## Limitations and notes

No README content was provided for the steel-tools MCP server. The source listing therefore does not establish whether the server supports a particular MCP transport, which clients can connect to it, or whether installation requires a package, executable, URL, or environment variables. It also does not state a license.

The available material gives no information about authentication, network access, units, precision, engineering standards beyond the reference to AISC shape weights, or the meaning of “connections.” Developers should verify those points directly in the project documentation before using results in production, compliance-sensitive, or safety-sensitive workflows.

The steel-tools MCP server should be treated as a read-only calculation resource based on the provided description. No write operations, persistence, integrations, or client-specific features are documented. The supplied information also does not confirm whether every calculator is exposed as a separate MCP tool or how errors are reported.
