contractor

contractor_vetting

NIS2 / EPBD contractor vetting score from a 12-question checklist across financial, technical, cyber (NIS2) and energy (EPBD) categories. Flags blocking (critical) failures and returns recommended additional checks. Not a formal due-diligence report.

cost

eu_cost_benchmarking

Parametric construction cost benchmark across UK/EU/GCC by country, project type, specification, procurement, programme and BIM. Returns per-m2 and total cost ranges plus a cost breakdown. Indicative parametric estimate, validate against current cost indices.

dgnb

dgnb_bim_readiness

DGNB certification pre-score and BIM (ISO 19650) maturity self-assessment from a 20-question checklist. Returns pre-score, achievable certification level, BIM level, domain breakdown and prioritised gaps. Not a formal DGNB audit.

digital

digital_renovation_passport

EPBD-style staged digital renovation passport: 3-phase roadmap (quick wins, system upgrades, deep renovation) with cost ranges, energy savings and EPC trajectory from current EPC, floor area and heating type. Indicative.

eed

eed_datacentre_pack

EU Energy Efficiency Directive data-centre reporting pack (Dir (EU) 2023/1791 Art.12 + Del. Reg (EU) 2024/1364). Determines reporting scope (IT power >= 500 kW) and computes the mandated KPIs PUE, WUE, ERF and REF. Note: the regulation mandates reporting, not target values.

estimate

estimate_cooling_load

Estimate cooling load using CIBSE Guide B2 / ASHRAE methodology. Returns required capacity, installed capacity with redundancy, system recommendation, and annual energy.

grid

check_grid_feasibility_uae

Assess UAE grid connection feasibility (DEWA/ADDC/SEWA/FEWA). Returns feasibility score, connection timeline, recommended voltage, substation requirement, and next steps.

heatpump

heatpump_heatloss

Domestic whole-dwelling fabric + ventilation heat-loss estimate for heat pump sizing (BS EN 12831 / MCS), from floor area, storeys, age band, location and glazing. Returns design heat loss (kW), recommended heat pump output, indicative SCOP and annual demand. Typical U-values/SCOP, not measured.

mees

mees_checker

England & Wales Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) check for private rented property. Tests against the in-force EPC E minimum (domestic and non-domestic) and surfaces the PROPOSED (not yet law) EPC C / 2030 uplift as an advisory only. Returns compliance, can-let, cost cap and penalties.

nis2

check_nis2_readiness

Assess NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/2555) compliance readiness. Returns compliance score (0-18), maturity level, estimated fine exposure, and prioritised remediation actions.

planning

uk_planning_checker

UK permitted-development (GPDO 2015, England) rules engine for extensions, loft conversions and change of use.

Engineering — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Engineering do?

It exposes 27 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: assess_epbd_score, building_carbon_footprint, building_readiness, calculate_carbon, calculate_pue, check_grid_feasibility_uae and 21 more. 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 →

What is Engineering mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around uae, calculate and eurocode. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Engineering 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 228 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Engineering?

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

Does Engineering need an API key?

No. Engineering completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 27 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Engineering?

It answers our handshake in 228 ms on average, which is faster than 57% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
