Vibe Manufacturing 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.

Available tools 27

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

rfq

create_rfq

Create a structured request for quotation for the human you act for. Call get_rfq_requirements for the process first and upload files with upload_rfq_file; use dry_run to check completeness before sending. The answer contains quote_readiness, missing and recommended items. We match manufacturers, email the ones that opted in, and return direct contact, quote-form and agent links for all matches plus an RFQ id and a token to read quotes later. Only call after the user agreed that the request is shared with matched manufacturers.

get_rfq

Read the matches and the quotes received so far for an RFQ you created. Needs the rfq_id and the token returned by create_rfq.

get_rfq_requirements

What a factory needs to quote a given process (required and recommended items with accepted values). Read this before create_rfq so the request is complete.

get_rfq_thread

Read the conversation of a request: messages from factories (answers, quotes, files) and your own. Pass since=<last message_id> to get only new ones.

design

check_design

Check a design against typical manufacturing rules before you request quotes. Returns pass, warn or fail per check with the limit and the reason. Supported processes: sheet-metal, laser-cutting, cnc-machining, 3d-printing, injection-molding, die-casting, casting, metal-stamping, pcb-assembly. Parameters are in millimetres/degrees, for example thickness_mm, bend_radius_mm, flange_length_mm, hole_diameter_mm, hole_to_edge_mm, hole_to_bend_mm, wall_thickness_mm, pocket_depth_mm, inside_corner_radius_mm, draft_deg, material.

get_design_rules

Design-for-manufacturing rules for one process (sheet metal, CNC machining, injection molding, 3D printing, casting, welding, PCB assembly and more): typical tolerances, file formats, the rules with their reasons, a pre-RFQ checklist and common mistakes. Typical rules of thumb; the manufacturer's own guidelines override them. Omit process to list all.

profile

get_my_profile

For a manufacturer's agent (needs the supplier token): what the directory stores about your company, and the allowed values for each field.

update_my_profile

For a manufacturer's agent (needs the supplier token): change processes, materials, certs, formats, industries, signals, machines, lead_time_days, min_order_qty, notes or notify_email. Fields you leave out keep their value; a field you send replaces it whole (a processes list replaces the stored list, so send the complete list, not only additions). Name, domain, country and address cannot be changed here. Set authorised: true only after the manufacturer confirmed the change.

project

create_project

Start a prototype project for the human you act for: we make the sourcing plan (as plan_prototype) and, once the person confirms by a click in their own mailbox, send one quote request per make-part to the matching manufacturers. Needs the requester e-mail and user_consent; nothing is sent before the confirmation click. Returns the project id, a token to read it and the plan.

get_project

Read a prototype project you created: the plan and, per part request, how many manufacturers were reached and how many quotes arrived. Needs the project_id and the token from create_project.

send

send_message

For a manufacturer's agent (needs the supplier token): write to the buyer of a request you were matched to — a question, an answer or an update, optionally with file_ids from upload_rfq_file. Draft it for the manufacturer and send only after they confirm.

send_rfq_message

Write to the matched factories about a request (buyer token) or to the buyer (supplier token): a question, an answer or an update, optionally with file_ids. We relay it by email or API and keep the thread.

submit

submit_quote

For a manufacturer's agent: answer an RFQ the company was matched to. Needs the supplier token issued when the company registered. Replaces any existing quote from this supplier for this RFQ, adds a thread entry and notifies the buyer by email and an optional callback; repeating the call sends notifications again. Only call with the supplier's authorization.

submit_quote_request

Send a quote request for the human you act for. Only call after the user agreed that the request and email may be shared with suitable manufacturers. A person reviews it and replies by email.

estimate

estimate_product_cost

Estimate landed cost per unit and the price needed for a target margin for a custom product. All money values in USD per unit.

fetch

fetch

Fetch the full text of a document or manufacturer profile by the id returned from search.

manufacturing

list_manufacturing_tools

List tools and factories with pros and cons. Optional category: Fabrication, Electronics, Sourcing, Prototyping, Measuring, Design, Review.

match

match_manufacturers

Rank manufacturers for a structured part spec. Returns scored matches with the reasons, so an agent can explain the choice to its user.

plan

plan_prototype

Turn a product description into a sourcing plan for a prototype or first batch: parts split into make (process, material, what a factory needs, matched manufacturers) and buy (module class, where such parts come from), integration steps, gaps and assumptions. Read-only, needs no e-mail; use it before create_rfq when the user has a product rather than a single part. States no prices or lead times.

playbook

get_playbook_step

Get one of the 13 playbook steps (summary, explanation, checklist, related tools).

registered

find_registered_businesses

Find manufacturing businesses you can contact directly, including official-registry establishments without a website (Mexico: INEGI DENUE). Returns how to reach each one: contact form, phone and email (published only for legal entities), website. Filter by ISO country code (MX, US, ...), process and city. Use next_after to page.

request

get_request

For a manufacturer's agent (needs the supplier token): one request in full — spec, what is missing, why you matched, file download links for your company, and the conversation so far.

requests

list_my_requests

For a manufacturer's agent (needs the supplier token): the open quote requests your company was matched to, newest first, with readiness, whether you answered, your quote and unread buyer messages.

search

Search the Vibe Manufacturing playbook, guides, tool reviews and the manufacturer directory. Mention a process (for example CNC machining) or a country to get matching manufacturers. Returns result ids for fetch.

site

search_site

Search the playbook, guides, tool reviews and comparisons on vibe-manufacturing.com.

suppliers

find_suppliers

Find contract manufacturers in the directory by country and process. Processes: laser-cutting, cnc-machining, sheet-metal, 3d-printing, injection-molding, pcb-assembly, die-casting, welding, waterjet-cutting, metal-stamping, forging, heat-treatment, grinding-polishing, casting, wire-forming, steel-construction, surface-finishing. Country as ISO code (DE) or slug (germany).

upload

upload_rfq_file

Upload a design file (STEP/STP, IGES/IGS, STL, 3MF, OBJ, DXF, DWG, PDF, ZIP (Gerber files go in a ZIP); up to 6 MB as base64 here, up to 100 MB with POST /api/v1/rfq/files?name=...). Returns a file_id to pass in create_rfq file_ids. Unused files expire after 24 hours. Only upload files the user agreed to share with manufacturers.

Vibe Manufacturing — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Vibe Manufacturing do?

It exposes 27 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_design, create_project, create_rfq, estimate_product_cost, fetch, find_registered_businesses 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 Vibe Manufacturing mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around rfq, send and design. 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 Vibe Manufacturing 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 280 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Vibe Manufacturing?

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 Vibe Manufacturing need an API key?

No. Vibe Manufacturing 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 Vibe Manufacturing?

It answers our handshake in 280 ms on average, which is faster than 50% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
