Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

EOSL.ai — Hardware End Of Life Database Tools (5)

lookup_part

Look up one hardware part number or model name in the EOSL.ai database (read-only, no auth; for many parts use bulk_check). Returns support status, End-of-Sale and End-of-Service-Life dates, support runway score, and the primary vendor bulletin URL backing the dates. Matching is exact, then punctuation-insensitive, then Fortinet short-SKU aliases (FG-60E -> FortiGate-60E); a model/family name (e.g. "7010TX-48") that matches no SKU returns the family-level record, flagged matchedVia:family-name. Anything else returns found:false rather than a guessed date.

bulk_check

Check up to 200 part numbers in one call (read-only, no auth; for a single part use lookup_part). Returns a per-part row (status, EOSL date, source URL, page URL) plus summary counts: past, endingSoon, supported, active, notFound. Never partial and never destructive: unknown or malformed entries do not fail the call, each simply returns found:false in its row.

search_models

Search tracked product families by vendor, product line, or series name (case-insensitive substring, e.g. "nexus 9300"). Read-only. Returns up to 10 families with status, EOSL window, and page URL. Use this for discovery when you have a name; for an exact part number use lookup_part, and use get_family with a returned slug for the full record.

Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations

Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
