What it can do

  • Analyze Vibration: Analyse a mass-spring-damper system. Returns natural frequency (rad/s and Hz), damping ratio, damped natural frequency, system classification, logarithmic decrement, and engineering
  • Tune Pid: Generate PID tuning parameters using Ziegler-Nichols and Cohen-Coon methods from a FOPDT process model. Returns Kp, Ki, Kd for the selected controller type and method, with reliability flags
  • Analyze State Space: Analyze an LTI system in state-space form. Evaluates stability, controllability, and observability. Automatically catches ragged matrices and dimension mismatches.

What data it sees

Do you need an account

No: the server works without sign-in

A precision engineering calculation server for AI agents. Provides license-free mechanical engineering tools covering dynamics and control systems. Current tools: vibration analysis for mass-spring-damper systems (natural frequency, damping ratio, system classification) and PID tuning parameter generation using Ziegler-Nichols and Cohen-Coon methods from FOPDT process models. All inputs validated in strict SI units. More modules coming: fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer

How to connect

How to connect mechanical-engineering-mcp to Claude

The server address to paste into Claude settings:

https://mechanical-engineering-mcp.run.tools

  1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
  2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
  3. Click Add custom connector.
  4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
  5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

Authorization

After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

How to connect mechanical-engineering-mcp to ChatGPT

The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

https://mechanical-engineering-mcp.run.tools

  1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
  2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
  3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
  4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
  5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
  6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

Authorization

On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

How to connect mechanical-engineering-mcp to Cursor

The server address to paste into Cursor settings:

https://mechanical-engineering-mcp.run.tools

Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.

Manually:

  1. In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
  2. Paste the JSON copied below into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (per project: .cursor/mcp.json in the repo root).
  3. Save the file. The server appears in the MCP list; authorize it there if asked.

Authorization

If the service needs sign-in, an authorize button appears next to the server in the MCP list.
