What is the E-factor, and why do I need it?

The E-factor measures the ratio of waste mass to product mass. It's a key metric in green chemistry because it accounts for all waste, including solvents and catalysts, giving a full picture of environmental cost.

Does this MCP only calculate theoretical efficiency?

No. It provides both theoretical calculations, like atom economy, and practical comparisons, allowing you to see the difference between ideal performance and real-world impact.

Can I include solvents in the calculation?

Yes. The environmental impact capability specifically accounts for auxiliary substances, such as solvents, ensuring your waste metrics are accurate and comprehensive.

What kind of input does the MCP require?

You need to provide the chemical reaction details, including the reactants, the target product, and any auxiliary materials like solvents, to get accurate results.

How do I calculate the E-factor?

You can use the get_environmental_impact capability. Provide the reaction equation, the target product, and optionally the mass of solvents used to get the E-factor.

Does this account for catalysts?

Yes, the get_environmental_impact capability allows you to specify a catalystRecoveryRate to account for any unrecovered catalyst in the waste mass.

What is the difference between atom economy and E-factor?

Atom economy is a theoretical measure of how many reactant atoms end up in the product, while E-factor is a practical measure of total waste generated, including solvents.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Atom Economy Calculator.

01
Get environmental impact
This calculates the E-factor, accounting for both stoichiometric waste and auxiliary substances like solvents and catalysts.
02
Analyze reaction efficiency
This capability compares a reaction's theoretical efficiency against its actual environmental impact, giving you a high-level overview.
03
Get atom economy
Use this to calculate the theoretical atom economy percentage for a specific target product in a reaction.
04
Get waste metrics
This capability determines the exact mass of waste products generated by the reaction.

Real work

What teams actually run

Optimizing Synthesis Routes

A chemist needs to compare two possible reaction pathways. They use this MCP to calculate the E-factor for both, selecting the one that generates less waste.

Meeting Green Standards

An environmental engineer must certify a new industrial process. They use the MCP to calculate the atom economy, proving the process is highly efficient.

Waste Stream Analysis

A research team needs to know the exact mass of byproducts from a large batch. They run the reaction through the MCP to get precise waste metrics.

Feasibility Studies

A materials scientist is evaluating a novel compound. They use the MCP to analyze the reaction's overall efficiency, determining if it's viable for commercial production.

One connector, every AI

Atom Economy Calculator works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Atom Economy Calculator to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
