Electrical / runnable MCP tool

Run the Wire Size 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: wire_size.

What it runs: Size a conductor for a load per NEC 310.16 with temperature correction (310.15(B)(1)), conduit-fill bundling (310.15(C)(1)), the 110.14(C) terminal cap, the 240.4(D) small-conductor limit, and the matching EGC (250.122). Copper or aluminum. Returns wire size, breaker, ground, and a verdict.

Ask your assistant

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

What size copper wire and breaker do I need for a 50 A continuous load?
Size the conductor and ground for a 60 A feeder in 90F ambient with 6 wires in the conduit.

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.
