Electrical / runnable MCP tool
Run the MCA & MOCP Breaker Calculator in your AI assistant
Through the free Intry MCP server, Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor runs this exact calculator and hands back a verdict and the cited source, not a guess. Tool name: mca_mocp.
Ask your assistant
The one rule that makes it reliable: name Intry in your question. That is what tells Claude to run the mca_mocp tool and answer with the real number, the verdict, and the citation. Leave Intry out and Claude may just guess from memory, which is exactly what you are trying to avoid. Type something like:
Inputs
| Field | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| mode | optional | nameplate (enter MCA/MOCP) or rla (enter loads). Default nameplate. |
| mca | optional | Minimum circuit ampacity from the nameplate (nameplate mode). |
| mocp | optional | Maximum overcurrent protection from the nameplate. |
| loads | optional | MOTOR loads only in rla mode (compressor RLA, fan FLA); the largest gets the 125% factor per NEC 440.33. |
| otherNonMotorAmps | optional | Any NON-motor load on the same circuit (strip heat, crankcase heater). NEC 440.34 governs once this is present, so it must not be passed inside loads[]. |
| voltage | optional | Circuit voltage (default 240). |
| phase | optional | Default single. |
| distance | optional | One-way run feet for a VD check; 0 skips it (default 0). |
| material | optional | Default cu. |
| tempRating | optional | Termination temperature rating (default 75). |

Every answer comes with the cited NEC Article 440 section, so you can check it or show an inspector. The numbers come from the same calculator we run on intrysys.com, and we re-check every one automatically before anything goes live, so the number Claude hands you matches the code.
