# MFG Calcs

> MFG Calcs publishes live U.S. manufacturing data and 5,384 deterministic manufacturing calculators, all free and keyless. The data half tracks what it costs to make things in America: observed effective calculated-duty rates and reported calculated-duty totals, tariff exposure by product family and origin country, sourcing shifts and supplier concentration, customs unit-value movers, a manufacturing cost-pressure index and how broadly costs are spreading, manufacturing PMI, per-state manufacturing cost indices, factory wages by trade, industrial energy prices, six-month forecasts published with their own accuracy ledger, and reshoring readiness and indexed break-even comparisons. Every series is computed from committed public data (USITC, BLS, EIA, Census, BEA) rather than a model, states its method, and is reproducible point-in-time: supported past readings are recoverable with ?asOf=, recorded restatements are exposed, artifact hashes are published, and series answers carry Ed25519-signed receipts. The calculator half spans 241 categories, among them CNC machining, injection molding, welding and fabrication, additive manufacturing, quality and metrology, maintenance and reliability, OEE, cost estimation, packaging, supply chain, and energy and sustainability, each page carrying the formula, worked examples, and industry benchmarks. Also here: 60 formula references, 104 downloadable spreadsheet templates, and 2,141 in-depth guides. Everything is reachable over a keyless JSON API, an MCP server for AI agents, and an answer endpoint that returns cited observations, definitions, subject clarification, and guided calculator conversations.

## MCP 2.0 preview (not enabled by default)
MCP 2.0 preview documentation. These tools require an explicitly enabled preview deployment; this inventory does not activate them or prove that a hosted endpoint supports them. Read that endpoint's discovery response before calling.
The active release remains 1.0.0: 17 advertised and 42 callable legacy tools.
The implemented preview profile has 14 preferred tool names:
- `discover_capabilities`: Find capabilities, exact entities, input schemas, and invocation plans.
- `search_mfgcalcs`: Ask manufacturing questions; carry context for follow-ups. Saved history requires user consent.
- `calculate`: Run a declared calculator with canonical references and typed inputs.
- `convert`: Convert using a declared converter and its units.
- `get_data`: Read current, historical, or reference data with evidence.
- `compare`: Compare references or observed U.S.-import duty/freight burdens.
- `forecast`: Read an eligible forecast, horizon, uncertainty, and evidence.
- `assess_tariff`: Read an all-origin tariff reference or exact annual U.S.-import origin observations.
- `analyze_sourcing`: Compare U.S.-import burdens with full coverage, or matched annual effective/statutory rates.
- `optimize`: Solve a declared optimization model with validated constraints.
- `run_workflow`: Run a registered workflow; missing inputs stop execution.
- `explain`: Read a formula, definition, methodology, or explanation.
- `verify`: Check a pinned graph, result, workflow step, or signed receipt by dimension.
- `monitor`: Inspect a supported freshness or saved-decision monitor.
Protocols supported by the implemented preview adapters: 2025-03-26, 2026-07-28. Negotiate with the target endpoint; availability depends on deployment flags. Tasks and subscriptions are not advertised.

## Optional
Lower-priority links an agent may skip when context is short: advertising on MFG Calcs and the B2B advertising guides, which serve sponsors rather than manufacturing questions.
- [Advertise on MFG Calcs](https://www.mfgcalcs.com/advertising): sponsor a calculator category or a single calculator at a flat monthly rate, one sponsor per placement, under a published policy that keeps sponsors out of formulas and results
- Rate card: Marquee Category Sponsorship $1,500 a month; Standard Category Sponsorship $850 a month; Single Calculator Sponsorship $150 a month. Minimum term 3 months. A sponsor unit is labeled and sits below calculator results; sponsors never change formulas, inputs, results, rankings, or editorial content. Rates, placements, availability, and the policy: [advertising](https://www.mfgcalcs.com/advertising).
