Electrical / runnable MCP tool
Run the Water Heater Circuit 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: water_heater_circuit.
Ask your assistant
The one rule that makes it reliable: name Intry in your question. That is what tells Claude to run the water_heater_circuit 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 |
|---|---|---|
| watts | yes | Nameplate element/max wattage (e.g. 4500 for a standard hybrid, 2250 for a low-amp unit). |
| volts | optional | Supply voltage (default 240; use 120 for a plug-in unit). |
| sharedCircuitRating | optional | If set, also check whether a 120V unit at this nameplate may share a branch circuit of this rating (15 or 20 A). |

Every answer comes with the cited NEC 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.
