The Cable Code MCP Server

Design and size a cable (power, control, LAN, coaxial, fibre) from a sentence (Turkish or English, e.g. "3-core collective screen 12/20 kV 3x95/25 Al, longitudinally watertight") or a spec: every layer's thickness with its source (IEC 60502, HD 603 / 620, BS, EN 50525, NEC / UL and more; IEC 60228), the overall diameter, the designation and the decoder's reading of it, and the estimated weight, bending radius, pulling force, IEC 60757 colour codes and MV field stress with their sources; a bare designation works as the sentence; optional XML, DXF, SVG, CSV, GLB, STEP (3D CAD) and a PDF datasheet. Deterministic, no LLM; a nominal calculation, not a datasheet.

The cable designer's presets (power, MV, HV, North American, building wire, cords, control, LAN, coaxial, fibre), each with the sentence that builds it in design_cable and its designation, and the standards a design_cable spec may name with their voltages, core counts and sections. Free, outside the daily free calls.

Check a power cable against a standard's nominal rules: a designation with size and voltage, a designer design, or the construction a maker's datasheet or tender offer states (layers with nominal and minimum thicknesses, screen and armour data). Rule sets: IEC 60502-1 / -2, IEC 60228, HD 603 3-G / 5-G, HD 620 10-J / M / D / C / K, BS 5467, BS 6724, BS 7846, BS 6622, or "auto" for the standards the cable claims. Every rule with required, found, pass / fail / not checkable and its source (standard, edition, clause or table, page, how firmly seen). Deterministic, no LLM. A check against nominal rules, not a certificate or a type test.

Decode a cable type designation (DIN VDE, HAR, BS/IEC, NEC, TS, UTE, CEI-UNEL and 59 more of its 66 coding systems, plus LAN and fibre) into its layers: conductor, insulation, screen, armour, sheath, with the source behind each symbol. Deterministic, no LLM.

Which cable drum (reel) a length of cable needs, or how much one drum takes: whole layers and whole turns on a wound diameter of 1.05 x OD with a freeboard under the flange rim, an estimate within a few per cent of cable makers' own capacity tables (most online tools overstate by 20 to 40 %). Drums are KTG, Nordic K, older DIN, Spanish, NEMA, Turkish, Brazilian and Chinese series and makers' own sizes (plastic and plywood reels among them) as their makers print them, each with its source; the barrel check uses the KTG minimum barrel table, and the cable's datasheet wins; a load rating is the maker's own. Free, deterministic, no LLM.

Find the equivalents of a power cable in other countries' standards ("the Dutch equivalent of this Swedish cable"): the decoded cable is rebuilt under each target rule set (IEC 60502, HD 603, HD 620 sections J/M/D/C/K, BS 5467/6724/7846/6622, EN 50618, HD 627) with the same conductor, section, cores, voltage, screen, armour and sheath, then compared layer by layer with the source of every value. Verdict per standard: equivalent, close (with the differences) or none (with the reason), and the name in that country's letters where sourced. Deterministic, no LLM. Never a statement of interchangeability: the buyer's specification decides.

Read a power cable datasheet (a maker PDF, an https link to one, or pasted datasheet or tender text) into constructions: every cable size it states with voltage, cores, conductor, each layer with its nominal and smallest thickness, screen and armour data, diameters and the claimed standards, each with the page and the row it was read from, the values that could not be read and the ones the reader is unsure of. The reading is done by an LLM (Claude) and shown as read; it decides nothing. Each construction is ready for check_cable / POST /api/v1/check, and with standard set every row is checked by the deterministic rule engine in the same call, each rule with its clause and source. Review the values before relying on a verdict.

Write the cable specification for a tender: one cable, or a project of up to 30 cables, each as design_cable takes it (a sentence, a bare designation, a spec or a design), plus the project's requirements (rodent, termite, UV, cold, oil, watertightness, fire, armour and more, each with the construction chosen to meet it). Returns, per cable, the specification in tender order (scope, standards, construction with each layer's thickness and source, additional requirements with their test methods, tests, marking, drums, documents, deviations) as Markdown and plain text, and the required / offered schedule (GTP) as CSV and as JSON rows: REQUIRED filled from the design with each value's source, OFFERED left for the bidder. The same text a Pro member downloads from the designer, written by the same code. Deterministic, no LLM; a draft to check against the editions in force.
