## Description

This MCP server provides essential engineering tools for structural steel fabrication. It allows AI agents to determine allowable deviations for steel components based on international regulatory standards. Use `calculate_member_tolerances` to find specific limits for length, straightness, and hole positioning. You can also use `get_code_guidelines` to understand the philosophy of AISC or EN 1090, or `validate_component_fit` to check if a manufactured part meets its required specifications.

## Tools

### lookup_section_defaults
Provides the default base dimensions and scaling factors for common steel shapes

### calculate_member_tolerances
Provides the core set of acceptable fabrication tolerances for a specific steel component

### get_code_guidelines
Retrieves the high-level tolerance philosophy and general rules for a specific regulatory code

### validate_component_fit
Checks if a manufactured component's measured deviations are within the acceptable limits

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the tolerances for a 6m I-Beam, primary structural, using AISC for a bolted connection?
```

**Response:** 
```
The allowable tolerances for your 6m I-Beam are a length deviation of 2.5mm, a straightness deviation of 4.0mm, and a hole position deviation of 1.5mm.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Get the general philosophy for the EN 1090 standard.
```

**Response:** 
```
The EN 1090 standard focuses on execution classes to ensure structural integrity across European construction projects, primarily using metric units.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a component with 3mm straightness deviation acceptable if the limit is 2mm?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, the component is not acceptable because the measured straightness exceeds the target tolerance.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Which standards are supported?**
The server supports AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) and EN 1090 (Eurocode) standards.

**How do I check if a part is within tolerance?**
You can use the `validate_component_fit` tool by providing the target tolerances and the actual measured values.

**Does it handle bolted connections?**
Yes, for bolted connections, the tool provides a specific `holePositionTolerance` to ensure assembly alignment.
