Calculate Max Evacuation Distance for Claude Desktop

The `calculate_max_walking_distance` tool checks if your evacuation paths meet current building codes. It tells you the compliance status and flags exactly where a violation occurs, pointing out which section of code is broken. This helps developers quickly audit designs without needing to run external scripts. You just feed it the dimensions, and Claude Desktop processes the mandatory limits for safe movement.

Determine Minimum Stair Width via MCP Server

Need to know the minimum stair width? The `determine_min_stair_width` function factors in population load and module definitions. It returns not just a number, but a safe design recommendation with an added safety buffer. It’s useful when you're architecting complex systems locally. Your agent handles the math based on current regulations so your build passes inspection.

Specify Extinguisher Requirements for Claude Desktop

The `specify_extinguisher_requirement` tool figures out exactly how many extinguishers you need and what types (A, B, C) they should be. It maps the required distribution based on area size and risk class. This gives you immediate compliance notes for placement planning. When developing a safety system locally, this prevents costly oversights.

Common questions about Fire Safety Calculator MCP in Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop runs the calculations directly on your machine using local tools. You provide the building data, and the MCP handles the complex code mapping for you.

The server primarily deals with spatial dimensions (feet/meters), occupancy loads (person count), and material classifications. Always double-check the input units before running calculations.

The tool doesn't just say 'fail.' It specifies which exact metric is off—like maximum walking distance or required stair width—and tells you the minimum acceptable value.

Yes. You specify the intended occupancy type, and the MCP adjusts the calculation parameters accordingly, ensuring compliance across various uses.

Since it runs via the Desktop App using stdio transport, your local files stay on your machine. The credentials pass through a zero-trust proxy and are never stored.
