Electrical / runnable MCP tool

Run the MCA & MOCP Breaker Calculator in your AI assistant

Through the free Intry MCP server, ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor runs this exact calculator and hands back a verdict and the cited source, not a guess. Tool name: mca_mocp.

What it runs: From an HVAC nameplate MCA and MOCP (or from compressor RLA + fan FLA in RLA mode), return the minimum wire size (NEC 310.16, copper and aluminum), the breaker (largest standard 240.6(A) rating not exceeding MOCP per 440.22), the ground (250.122), and voltage drop. Surfaces warnings rather than throwing.

Ask your assistant

Once Intry is connected, type a question like these. The assistant recognizes the job and calls the mca_mocp tool, then answers with the number, the verdict, and the citation.

Nameplate says MCA 24.5, MOCP 40. What wire and breaker for this condenser?
Compressor RLA 18, fan FLA 1.5. What's the MCA and the right breaker?

Inputs

FieldRequiredWhat it is
modeoptionalnameplate (enter MCA/MOCP) or rla (enter loads). Default nameplate.
mcaoptionalMinimum circuit ampacity from the nameplate (nameplate mode).
mocpoptionalMaximum overcurrent protection from the nameplate.
loadsoptionalCompressor RLA + fan FLA amps (rla mode); the largest gets the 125% factor.
voltageoptionalCircuit voltage (default 240).
phaseoptionalDefault single.
distanceoptionalOne-way run feet for a VD check; 0 skips it (default 0).
materialoptionalDefault cu.
tempRatingoptionalTermination temperature rating (default 75).

Free inside Claude, on every plan (including the free one) and on your phone. No login on our end, no API key.

Using ChatGPT, Cursor, or a dev tool? See the developer setup on the main page. The endpoint is https://www.intrysys.com/api/mcp.

The tool returns its governing citation with every call (for example the NEC 2023 section or the refrigerant pressure-temperature data). Numbers are computed by the same locked engine the interactive calculator uses, golden-verified in CI and gated on every deploy.
