Engineering missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

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_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.

sap_sbem_precheck

UK SAP 10.3 / SBEM EPC precheck. Maps a known SAP rating (1-100) to its EPC band, and/or computes annual CO2 and primary energy from fuel consumption using validated SAP 10 fuel factors. The official EPC band is cost-based and needs a full SAP/RdSAP assessment.

technical

get_technical_dd_quote

Generate an indicative Technical Due Diligence (TDD) fee estimate. Returns preliminary and full DD fee ranges (GBP), turnaround days, and contact CTA.

thermal

thermal_load

Thermal Load Estimator for data centres / critical facilities. Returns total heat load, cooling capacity, units, airflow, chiller size, PUE estimate, power density, and a CRAC/CRAH/DLC/immersion comparison.

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, building 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 231 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 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 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 231 ms on average, which is faster than 62% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
