What it can do

The tools this server listed when we connected to it, in its own words.

  • find_manufacturers — Use this when the user asks who can make a custom part, or needs a manufacturer, factory or machine shop: CNC machining, sheet metal, inject
  • upload_cad_for_quote — Use this when the user wants a custom part made or quoted from CAD: a STEP or STP file for CNC machining, sheet metal or injection molding,
  • check_manufacturability — Use this after uploading CAD files and before quoting, when the user asks whether a part can be made, wants a DFM (design for manufacturing)
  • get_quotes — Use this when the user wants to know who can make their uploaded parts and how fast: CNC machining, sheet metal, injection molding or wire h
  • preview_order — Use this when the user wants to order one of the offers from get_quotes. Returns that offer (process, quantity, ship-from country, lead time
  • place_order — Ordering goes through Maglev and is not open in the API yet: this tool always refuses and orders, pays and sends nothing. Call preview_order
  • search_parts — Search the Maglev parts catalog (compute modules, motors and drivers, robot actuators, drone parts). Match on part number, brand, or spec wo
  • match_requirements — Route a design requirement to parts: give a subcategory (e.g. joint-actuators, strain-wave-reducers, frameless-bldc) and the numbers the des
  • requirement_keys — The requirement keys a subcategory accepts for match_requirements: numeric keys with unit and catalog range, and text keys with their option
  • get_part — Full record for one part: specs, dated prices with sources, maker, origin, HTS, NDAA/Blue UAS/FCC, equivalents and compatible parts.
  • list_categories — Categories and subcategories with part counts and the spec columns each subcategory compares on.
  • compare_parts — Side-by-side comparison of 2-10 parts: shared spec keys, price at a quantity, origin, NDAA.
  • landed_cost — Estimate US landed cost for a part in the Maglev catalog. Needs its catalog id: find it with search_parts first; parts outside the catalog c
  • find_equivalents — Drop-in or near equivalents for a part from other makers, optionally restricted by origin lens, plus parts it is commonly paired with.
  • get_test_protocol — How to bench-test a robot joint actuator: nine tests in run order (what each tells you, method, equipment, values to report, sources) and th
  • check_test_result — Check a bench test result for a joint actuator against the result format (/api/test/result.schema.json, template at /api/test/result-templat
  • build_rfq — Build a request for Maglev to buy listed parts, price unlisted ones, or make custom versions. Returns the request document and a ready-to-se
  • plan_joint — Plan a complete robot joint from targets: peak torque, output speed, bus voltage, mass budget and quantity. Returns complete joint actuators
