FoundryNet Forge

The cross-manufacturer industrial MCP server. Talk to any CNC, robot, or industrial machine in natural language — machine identity, telemetry normalization across 18 OEM families, plain-English automation, and tamper-evident work records.

Hosted MCP over Streamable HTTP. 30 tools wrap the Forge v1 API: provision a stable machine identity, normalize raw OEM telemetry into a canonical schema, query operational history, parse and activate plain-English automations, predict failures (TimesFM), score fleet health, and record every state-changing action as a verifiable, tamper-evident work record.

What it does

It normalizes raw OEM telemetry from 18 manufacturer families into one canonical vocabulary with thousands of confirmed field mappings — so an agent writes against one set of field names whether the machine is a Fanuc CNC, a KUKA arm, or a Universal Robots cobot. On top of that it turns plain-English instructions into structured automations (review then activate), and records every state-changing action as a tamper-evident work record.

Architecture

Pure HTTP proxy. Every tool is a thin wrapper around https://forge.foundrynet.io/v1/* using a configured fnet_ Bearer key. No state, no shared imports with forge-prod — separate Railway service, separate dependencies (fastmcp + httpx).

Tools (30)

Identity & data: identify_machine, normalize_telemetry, query_machine_history, get_coverage, correct_mapping. Automation: create_automation, activate_automation, list_automations, disable_automation, delete_automation, restore_automation, query_webhook_history. Prediction (TimesFM): predict, predict_breach, remaining_life, predict_batch, fleet_health, detect_anomalies, machine_intelligence, prediction_accuracy. Operations: calculate_oee, fleet_oee, energy_consumption, shift_report, diagnose_machine, health_index. Agents on your kernel: get_agent_card, list_agents. Work records: verify_record. Demo: fire_sandbox (the full watch → fire → settle loop, no card).

get_agent_card and list_agents are scoped to the agents connected to your kernel instance (their capabilities, trust scores, and machine access) and are included in your subscription — there is no per-call charge. They are operational tools for coordinating agents on your own equipment, not cross-platform discovery. For cross-platform agent trust across any framework, see Assay (assay.foundrynet.io). verify_record creates a tamper-evident, hash-verified record of completed work.

Free tier exposes the read-only tools; metered pay-per-use unlocks the premium prediction and diagnostics tools (see https://forge.foundrynet.io/pricing?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=forge-mcp-readme).

Connect (Claude Desktop, Cursor, any MCP client)

claude mcp add --transport http foundrynet-forge \
  https://mcp.foundrynet.io/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer fnet_YOUR_KEY"

Or via claude_desktop_config.json with the mcp-remote bridge:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "foundrynet-forge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote",
               "https://mcp.foundrynet.io/mcp",
               "--header", "Authorization:Bearer ${FNET_KEY}"],
      "env": { "FNET_KEY": "fnet_…  (get a free key at foundrynet.io/signup)" }
    }
  }
}

Legacy SSE (--transport sse against https://mcp.foundrynet.io/sse) remains supported for existing configs, but new integrations should use the Streamable HTTP /mcp endpoint above.
