About CordFind Generator Compatibility
CordFind Generator Compatibility is a read-only MCP server for generator cord, plug, and connector research. It searches guides, screens compatibility, and compares cord sizing against planning limits.
Key features
- 01Search generator guides
- 02Screen connector compatibility
- 03Compare wire gauges
- 04Check voltage-drop limits
Use cases
- 01Find guidance on generator connections
- 02Check receptacle and destination compatibility
- 03Plan cord size by current and distance
MCP support
The public server requires no API key and is available as a stdio package or hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint. It exposes guide search, connector compatibility screening, and cord-size calculation tools to MCP clients.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMECordFind 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 questionlimit— 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, or520targetId—inlet,rv,appliance, ordistributiondistanceFeet—25,50, or100
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, or50volts—120or240distanceFeet— one-way distance from 10 to 200 feetdropLimitPercent—3or5
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.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
