CordFind Generator Compatibility MCP Server

CordFind provides a public Model Context Protocol server for generator cord, plug, connector, and sizing research.

Connect

Installable stdio server

Run the public npm package from Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, or another stdio MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cordfind": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cordfind-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The package is a small read-only stdio bridge to CordFind's canonical hosted MCP endpoint. No API key is required.

You can also run it directly:

npx -y cordfind-mcp

Hosted Streamable HTTP server

Use the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cordfind": {
      "url": "https://cordfind.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Clients that only support local stdio servers can use mcp-remote:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cordfind": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://cordfind.com/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Docker

docker build -t cordfind-mcp .
docker run --rm -i cordfind-mcp

The server is public and does not require an API key. Read the full CordFind MCP documentation.

Tools

search_generator_guides

Search CordFind generator guides by topic or question. Results include titles, descriptions, quick answers, and direct CordFind source URLs.

Inputs:

• query — generator topic or question
• limit — optional result limit from 1 to 10

get_connector_compatibility

Screen a generator receptacle, destination, and cord distance for direct compatibility, adapter needs, verification boundaries, or unsafe paths.

Inputs:

• sourceConnectorId — l1430, l1420, l630, l530, 1450, cs50, tt30, or 520
• targetId — inlet, rv, appliance, or distribution
• distanceFeet — 25, 50, or 100

Use the human-facing generator cord finder to inspect the same workflow.

calculate_generator_cord_size

Compare common American Wire Gauge sizes against planning ampacity and voltage-drop limits.

Inputs:

• amps — 15, 20, 30, or 50
• volts — 120 or 240
• distanceFeet — one-way distance from 10 to 200 feet
• dropLimitPercent — 3 or 5

Open the generator cord-size calculator for the interactive version and methodology.

Registry manifest

The official MCP Registry manifest is available in server.json. It describes both the npm stdio package and the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint. CordFind also publishes the manifest at:

https://cordfind.com/.well-known/mcp/server.json

Safety boundary

CordFind MCP responses are planning guidance, not approval for an electrical installation. Verify equipment labels, listings, ratings, and manufacturer instructions. Building wiring requires approved transfer equipment and qualified installation.
