Construction Server

Ultra-lightweight MCP server for construction calculations and material estimation.

Features

• Material Calculator: Calculate concrete, steel, brick requirements
• Cost Estimator: Quick material cost calculations
• Structure Types: Foundation, walls, slabs, beams

Quick Start

npm install
npm start

Tools Available

calculate_materials

Calculate materials for construction elements:

{
  "structure": "foundation",
  "dimensions": {
    "length": 10,
    "width": 8,
    "height": 0.5
  }
}

estimate_cost

Estimate material costs:

{
  "material": "concrete",
  "quantity": 40,
  "unit": "m³"
}

Architecture

• Zero dependencies beyond MCP SDK
• In-memory calculations - no database overhead
• Stateless design for maximum performance
• JSON-based material database

Material Database

Material	Density	Cost/Unit
Concrete	2400 kg/m³	$120/m³
Steel	7850 kg/m³	$800/m³
Brick	1800 kg/m³	$0.5/piece
Cement	1440 kg/m³	$180/m³

Performance Notes

• Sub-millisecond calculation responses
• Minimal memory footprint (~10MB)
• No external API calls
• Pure computation - no I/O blocking

Usage Example

Connect to Claude Desktop by adding to your config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "construction": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/construction-mcp-server/server.js"]
    }
  }
}
