What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 15, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

find_dataset
Search the engineering code-table datasets by keyword (standard, table, quantity, material). Returns up to 10 matches, each with its id, title, standard, edition and table, whether lookups return a value or a pointer (table, row and column only), and the tier at which values are
describe_dataset
Describe one dataset: the key fields a lookup needs, the value columns with units and which need a temperature, the citation (standard, edition, table), whether lookups return a value or a pointer, the tier at which values are returned, and the daily lookup limits. Returns struct
lookup_value
Return one value from one row and one column of a code-table dataset, with its citation (standard, edition, table, row, column), unit and the tabulated entries used. Temperature columns take T in °F; allowable-stress and flange-rating columns interpolate linearly between the two
list_keys
List the key identifiers of a dataset's rows (for example spec, grade, class, size, and the row position `line`) so lookup_value can address exactly one row. Returns identifiers only, never table values, at most 50 per call; `prefix` filters on the first key field. For pointer da
get_pointer
For a quantity whose value this server does not return (for example PVP2011-57100 nozzle allowables, ASCE 7-22 SDS, Ip, CAR and Rpo, AISC Fy/Fu, ACI anchor product values, API 617/611/612 and NEMA SM 23 coefficients, API 650 Annex P coefficients, and any dataset currently returne
get_skey_map
Return the Isogen-style SKEY vocabulary Piping Toolset uses (component prefixes, end-condition suffixes, fitting and support keys) with scope 'isogen', or the PCF record set, substitutions and default SKEYs that import cleanly into CAESAR II with scope 'caesar-safe'. `component`
get_fixture_example
Return one worked example case for a Piping Toolset plugin skill: the inputs, the expected outputs and the pass/fail status from the hand-checked calculation fixtures, with case names removed. `case` selects among the skill's cases (0-based; the result gives the count).
get_aisc_shape
Return the dimensions and section properties of one AISC shape by designation (e.g. W8X31, HSS6X6X3/8, PIPE4STD, L4X4X1/2): weight, area, depth, flange and web dimensions, I, S, Z, r, J and Cw as applicable. Source: AISC Shapes Database v16.0; L, HSS and Pipe computed from nomina
get_pipe_dimensions
Return the outside diameter and nominal wall thickness (in) for a nominal pipe size per ASME B36.10M / B36.19M: one schedule with its wall and inside diameter when `schedule` is given (e.g. 40, STD, XS, 80, 10S), otherwise the walls of every schedule listed at that size.
verify_connector
Report whether the caller is signed in, the caller's tier, how many datasets return values at that tier, and the remaining daily lookups when the server tracks them. Returns no email, name or account id.

Common questions

Is Piping Toolset Engineering Data safe?

It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 3 days ago, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 3 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

PipingToolset for Claude, ChatGPT and Codex

B31 calcs you can reproduce and defend in review, with the assistant you already use. The assistant does the interview. A script does the math. You read the table.

Six piping engineering skills, one plugin, installable in Claude Code and Claude Cowork, in ChatGPT and OpenAI Codex, and in any assistant that reads the Agent Skills format (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and others), from the people who build the free calculators at pipingtoolset.com. Written and maintained by a practicing piping engineer at Flexible Piping Solutions LLC. The same folder carries both a Claude manifest and an Agent Plugins 1.0 manifest, so the install you pick changes nothing about what the skills do.

The plugin is free and the skills run entirely on your side. An optional Engineering Data connector can hand the assistant a cited code-table value instead of making you look it up, within what your pipingtoolset.com plan covers. Every skill works without it.

	Claude	ChatGPT / Codex
Landing page	pipingtoolset.com/claude/	pipingtoolset.com/openai/
Install file	`piping-toolset.plugin` (drag into Cowork)	`codex plugin marketplace add pipingtoolset/pipingtoolset-claude`
Invoke	`/piping-toolset:pipe-stress-check` or name it in Cowork	`$pipe-stress-check` in Codex, name it in ChatGPT
Manifest read	`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`	`plugin.json` (Agent Plugins 1.0, `extensions.com.openai`)
Engineering Data connector	Declared by the plugin in `.mcp.json`	Not declared; you add it by hand (see Add the connector)

Skill	What it does
`pipe-stress-check`	Sustained, occasional and expansion hand checks, the f factor by edition, which document supplies the SIFs, the formal-analysis exemption, support spans and spring variability, the ASCE 7 occasional-load build and the ASD position, owner practices (PIP PNC00004 / PNC00001 / RECE002), and a cold-eye review protocol for a CAESAR II or AutoPIPE run or a received calc package: traceability chain, modelling and documentation findings with severity, verdict recommendation. Replaces `stress-screening` (0.10.0); its eight engine modules are unchanged
`load-case-builder`	Complete B31.1 / B31.3 static load case sets for CAESAR II and AutoPIPE, generated symbolically so references never go stale, with a QC gate and a report extraction matrix
`pipe-support`	Pipe support assemblies (arm, column, welds, bolts, base plate, anchors, pier) checked for CAESAR II restraint loads: ASCE 7-22 combinations, AISC 360-22, ACI CODE-318-25 Chapter 17 (ACI 318-19 selectable) and AWS D1.1 detailing, with a PE-style review, ranked code-passing alternatives (lighter, less field work, stocked sizes) and an engineer-ready calc report. The pipingtoolset.com PiperSTR engine, verified against a published PiperSTR report value for value
`stress-import`	Any piping source into an analysis-ready CAESAR II or AutoPIPE model with every support on a node: PDF stress isometrics transcribed and built in exact fractions, Revit / Fabrication PCF exports de-duplicated, re-vocabularied and healed, Navisworks NWC hangers and trapezes mined and snapped to the centreline, rule-placed supports, a pre-import checker (pieces and anchors, free ends, slivers, supports off node, spans over the project table), an SVG plot, the AutoPIPE translator's bend and loop-closure checks (E726-15, W726-8, E751-1), and the CAESAR II neutral-file repair after APCF import (node bands per line, T/P, fluid density, anchor codes) with an independent proof. Replaces `iso-to-pcf` (0.10.0); its builder and validator are unchanged
`nozzle-load`	Piping forces and moments on equipment nozzles, checked the way the vendor will: API 610 Table 5 and Annex F for pumps, the API 617 / 611 / 612 and NEMA SM-23 combined form for compressors and turbines, API 660 / 661 / 560 per-component and header-sum checks for exchangers and heaters, API 650 Annex P ordinates for tank shells, and the PVP2011-57100 method as the default for a pressure vessel with no API allowable. The user reads every table row; the script applies the scaling rules and the ratios. PIP RECE002 design-stage margins as an owner practice
`bolted-flange`	Piping loads on a bolted flanged joint in a fixed order: the pressure-equivalent screen first, always, against the B16.5 rating the user reads, then the BPVC VIII-2 Part 4.16 (formerly VIII-1 Mandatory Appendix 2; pre-2025 paragraph map shown) analysis for integral and loose flanges, with bolt area, hub, radial and tangential stresses and rigidity. Flange dimensions, gasket factors, ratings and allowables all come from the user's copies

How it works

The assistant never does the arithmetic. Each skill ships standard-library Python scripts. Every number a skill states comes from a script run on inputs you supplied. The scripts reproduce the pipingtoolset.com calculation engine's locked test cases (tests/fixtures/calc-core; a red parity test blocks a release).
The assistant never recalls a code table value. Allowable stresses, moduli, SIFs, spans, ASCE 7 coefficients: the skill names the table, row and edition and takes the value from one of two places, your own copy of the standard or, if you have enabled the optional connector and your plan covers the table, a connector lookup that arrives with its citation. Asking it for "just the number" with neither is a pinned test, and the answer is no. The one exception is pipe-support, which bundles the AISC 360-22 tables and the AISC Shapes Database (both published free by AISC) and the ASCE 7-22 and ACI CODE-318-25 / 318-19 factors it uses; its references/code-basis.md lists every one.
The edition is an input, never a silent default. Anything you leave unanswered is marked ASSUMED on the calc sheet.

The skills make no network calls. Their scripts run in your own assistant's environment, and what you type goes to Anthropic or OpenAI under the terms of your own account with them. The only part of the plugin that talks to pipingtoolset.com is the optional Engineering Data connector, and it sends only what a table lookup needs. Leave it disconnected and nothing you enter is sent to PipingToolset or Flexible Piping Solutions.

Install

In Claude Cowork

Download piping-toolset.plugin from the latest GitHub Release of pipingtoolset/pipingtoolset-claude.
Drag the file into a Cowork chat. A preview card appears; press Accept.

Or, in the app's plugin settings, add the marketplace pipingtoolset/pipingtoolset-claude.

To update, install the new .plugin from the latest release. An installed copy keeps any defect it shipped with until you update it, so UNCONSERVATIVE-FIX releases (see CHANGELOG.md) are the recall channel.

In Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add pipingtoolset/pipingtoolset-claude

/plugin install piping-toolset@pipingtoolset

For a local checkout: /plugin marketplace add .

In ChatGPT and Codex

The plugin folder carries an Agent Plugins 1.0 manifest (plugins/piping-toolset/plugin.json) with the OpenAI listing block, and the repository carries .agents/plugins/marketplace.json, so OpenAI's tools read it directly.

With the Codex CLI installed, register the marketplace:

   codex plugin marketplace add pipingtoolset/pipingtoolset-claude

Install PipingToolset from the plugin picker: /plugins in the Codex CLI, or Customize › Plugins in the ChatGPT desktop app, where it shows with the PipingToolset mark and "By Flexible Piping Solutions LLC". The Codex IDE extension does not install plugins (OpenAI's plugin docs); there, add the skills on their own as described under Other assistants.
Invoke a skill as $pipe-stress-check (or /skills) in Codex, or name it in plain words in ChatGPT, as in Cowork. The Codex CLI runs the scripts with your machine's Python 3.9+; the ChatGPT desktop app runs them in its own sandbox.

The OpenAI plugin directory listing is submitted from the same archive (piping-toolset.zip, the .plugin under a .zip name, from the latest release); until it is listed, the marketplace route above is the install.

Other assistants

The skills are plain Agent Skills, so the same repository installs into any host that reads that format.

Assistant	Command
Any Agent Skills host via the `skills` CLI (Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI and others)	`npx skills add pipingtoolset/pipingtoolset-claude`
GitHub CLI	`gh skill install pipingtoolset/pipingtoolset-claude`
Manus, Perplexity and other skills-upload hosts	Upload `piping-toolset-skills.zip` from the latest release; it holds only the `skills/` folder, no manifest, no connector declaration and no logo

Where the skills land after a CLI install:

Scope	Path
Project (default)	`.agents/skills/ /` in the current repository
User (`--global` / `-g`)	`~/.agents/skills/ /`

Hosts without a /piping-toolset: prefix see the six skills by name (pipe-stress-check, stress-import, load-case-builder, pipe-support, nozzle-load, bolted-flange); name the one you want in plain words, as in Cowork. Each skill's frontmatter states its only requirement, Python 3.9+ with the standard library, so a host can check it before running a script.

Requirements

Python 3.9 or newer wherever the skills run: your own machine for Claude Code; Cowork's built-in sandbox provides it (confirmed on a live Cowork session with tests/e2e/COWORK-CHECKLIST.md, 2026-10-27). There is nothing else to install. The skills and their scripts send nothing anywhere. With the connector declared, your assistant contacts pipingtoolset.com when a session starts and when a skill asks for a value; every skill works with it disconnected. The connector is optional and has its own section below.

Invoking a skill

In Cowork, pick the skill from the skills menu or name it in plain words, for example "use the pipe support skill to check PS-201" or "use the pipe stress check skill: B31.3-2024, which document ...". Naming it matters, because other installed skills on the same topics would otherwise compete.

In Claude Code, use the slash form: /piping-toolset:pipe-stress-check, /piping-toolset:stress-import, /piping-toolset:load-case-builder, /piping-toolset:pipe-support, /piping-toolset:nozzle-load, /piping-toolset:bolted-flange. The plugin shows as PipingToolset in the plugin list; its id (and the command prefix) stays piping-toolset so existing installs keep working.

Engineering Data connector

An optional remote server for the Model Context Protocol (MCP): pipingtoolset-data at https://pipingtoolset.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, stateless). The plugin declares it in .mcp.json for Claude Code and Cowork, so those hosts offer it. It does not declare it for Codex or the ChatGPT desktop app: in 0.7.0 a declaration there made Codex ask for a sign-in at install, which an optional connector must not do, so in those hosts you add it by hand (below). Installing the plugin does not contact it or ask you to sign in. The plugin stays free, every skill works without the connector, and the refusal prompts behave the same with it off. Setup and the dataset list: [pipingtoolset.com/docs/connector/](https://pipi
