Available tools 10

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

bid
bid_calculator
Electrical bid price from materials, markup, labor hours and rate, job costs, overhead and a target net margin (price = break-even / (1 − margin)).
box
box_fill
Minimum outlet box volume from NEC 314.16(B): conductor, device (2 each), clamp and grounding allowances times the Table 314.16(B) volume for the largest conductor.
conduit
conduit_fill
Percent fill and maximum number of THHN/THWN-2 conductors of one size in EMT or PVC Schedule 40, from NEC Chapter 9 Tables 1, 4 and 5.
load
load_calculator
Dwelling service load by the NEC 220.82 optional method: 3 VA/ft² lighting, small-appliance and laundry circuits, fixed appliances, demand factor, heating or cooling, and the minimum standard service size. Leave an appliance out to count it as 0 VA.
nec
nec_ampacity
Allowable ampacity of one insulated conductor from NEC Table 310.16 (not more than three current-carrying conductors in a raceway or cable, 30°C ambient), before any adjustment or correction factors and before the 240.4(D) small-conductor limits.
ohms
ohms_law
Ohm's law and power: give exactly two of voltage, current, resistance and power; the other two are calculated.
panel
panel_schedule
Lays circuits out on a 120/240 V single-phase or 208Y/120 V three-phase panel and totals the load per phase with the imbalance.
voltage
voltage_drop
Voltage drop for a given conductor size, current and one-way length, single- or three-phase, from NEC Chapter 9 Table 8 circular mils (VD = 2·K·I·L / CM, or √3 for three-phase).
watts
watts_to_amps
Current drawn by a load in watts at a voltage and power factor, single- or three-phase, plus the 125% continuous-load value.
wire
wire_size
Minimum conductor size for a circuit: NEC Table 310.16 ampacity at the termination temperature rating, the 240.4(D) small-conductor limits, voltage drop over the run, and the Table 250.122 equipment grounding conductor, increased in proportion under 250.122(B) when voltage drop upsizes the conductors.

SparkQuote NEC calculators — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can SparkQuote NEC calculators do?
It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: bid_calculator, box_fill, conduit_fill, load_calculator, nec_ampacity, ohms_law and 4 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 →
Is SparkQuote NEC calculators 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 94 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists SparkQuote NEC calculators 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 SparkQuote NEC calculators?
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 SparkQuote NEC calculators need an API key?
No. SparkQuote NEC calculators completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
