Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check BHX Fab Quote every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

estimate

estimate_cnc_from_stl

Budget estimate for machining a part from an STL: stock block, material removed, surface area, roughing and finishing time at the material removal rates given, and part mass. Based on volume and surface area only; holes and corner radii are not detected from STL. Accepts up to 60,000 triangles.

estimate_gcode_run_time

Simulates a CNC, laser or plasma G-code program (G0-G3 with arcs and helixes, drilling cycles G73/G81-G89, dwell, tool changes, inch/mm, absolute/incremental) with the machine's rapid speeds, acceleration and tool-change time. Returns the run time, time per tool, the program's size, and warnings such as rapid moves below Z0 or a program bigger than the machine. Accepts programs of up to 3,000 lines.

analyse

analyse_dxf_for_cutting

Reads a flat 2D DXF (text DXF, as exported by AutoCAD, Fusion, Inventor and most CAD) and returns the parts, cut length, number of pierces and drawing problems (duplicate lines, open contours, near-miss gaps, holes smaller than the thickness). With a cutting speed it also returns the cutting time per part, including acceleration and pierces; with pricing it returns a price. Sheet nesting is not included.

example

get_example_rates

Returns the example machine presets and material rates this service uses by default. They are starting points, not quotes: a shop should replace them with its own figures.

BHX Fab Quote — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can BHX Fab Quote do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: analyse_dxf_for_cutting, estimate_cnc_from_stl, estimate_gcode_run_time, get_example_rates. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is BHX Fab Quote working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 117 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect BHX Fab Quote?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does BHX Fab Quote need an API key?

No. BHX Fab Quote completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is BHX Fab Quote?

It answers our handshake in 117 ms on average, which is faster than 89% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
