Simpson Strong-Tie Agent
RemoteAbout Simpson Strong-Tie Agent
Simpson Strong-Tie Agent is a headless service for querying Simpson Strong-Tie's C-C-2024 structural connector catalog. It serves construction and engineering workflows with product search, load checks, sizing, and code references.
Key features
- 01Search connector catalog
- 02Check connector load capacity
- 03Size holdowns for uplift
- 04Select hurricane ties
- 05Classify seismic design category
- 06Map code sections to products
Use cases
- 01Find products by family or application
- 02Check connectors against required loads
- 03Choose holdowns for uplift requirements
- 04Look up products related to code sections
MCP support
The service exposes nine MCP tools over JSON-RPC 2.0 for catalog searches, engineering checks, product selection, and code references.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

New to MCP?
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.
