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.

laser
find_laser_job
Search Reticle Red's job index by what the user wants to make (for example "photo on wood", "challenge coin", "map of my town", "scrollwork on a pistol slide"). Returns matching jobs with the tool that does each, output formats, published credit cost and a link.
list_laser_jobs
List every job in Reticle Red's public job index, grouped, with the tool, output formats and published credit cost for each.
open
open_fabricator_with_outline
Return a link that opens The Fabricator (AI engraving art fitted to a part) with one of Reticle Red's free, true-scale part outlines loaded: magazines, pistol grips, knife scales, tags. Pass an outline id, or describe the part. The link only opens the editor; AI runs are priced and confirmed in the page before any credit is spent.
open_generator
Return a link that opens one of Reticle Red's free, no-sign-up generators already set to the right mode (box, coaster, polygon, living hinge, flex box, holiday lantern, Christmas ornament, gift tag, puzzle, burn card, kerf test, EZCAD test card, photo dithering, tumbler size chart, price calculator, calculators). Pass a generator id, or describe the job and the best match is used. For box, flexbox and lantern, pass size to open the generator at that size; for ornament and gift-tag, pass mode to open that style. The link only opens the page with those values filled in; it starts nothing and spends nothing, and the user can change every value before downloading.

Reticle Red laser design tools — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Reticle Red laser design tools do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_laser_job, list_laser_jobs, open_fabricator_with_outline, open_generator. 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 Reticle Red laser design tools mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around open and laser. 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 Reticle Red laser design tools working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 127 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Reticle Red laser design tools as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Reticle Red laser design tools?
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 Reticle Red laser design tools need an API key?
No. Reticle Red laser design tools 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.
