Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Deterministic HVAC duct sizing at a fixed or Manual D friction rate; grades existing ducts.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openmep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@openmep/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add openmep -- npx -y @openmep/mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openmep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@openmep/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "openmep": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@openmep/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is OpenMEP duct sizing safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 30 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

@openmep/mcp

An MCP server that gives any agent OpenMEP's deterministic HVAC duct sizing. No editor, CAD host, account, or network access: the agent describes the ducts, the engine sizes them.

{

"mcpServers": { "openmep": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "-p", "@openmep/mcp", "openmep-mcp"] } } }

Claude Code: claude mcp add openmep -- npx -y -p @openmep/mcp openmep-mcp. Requires Node.js 24+. Transport: stdio.

Tools

ToolInputReturns
size_ductcfm, optional role (main/branch/runout), airflowType (supply/return/exhaust/outside-air), existing section ({diameterIn} or `{shape: rect\oval, widthIn, heightIn}`)Recommended standard round diameter, velocity, friction; for an existing section its circular equivalent and ok/undersized/oversized
size_duct_networkitems: terminals with requiredCfm, segments (optionally with existing and lengthFt), fittings (optionally equivalentLengthFt), equipment, linked by connectedItemRefs; optional fan (externalStaticInWg, componentLossesInWg)Every loaded segment's CFM, role, recommendation, and grade; with fan, the Manual D design (available static, total effective length, friction rate, governing paths); findings for missing CFM, disconnected terminals, dangling references, mixed systems, undersized and oversized runs, friction rate outside 0.06–0.18

Both tools are read-only and idempotent. Invalid input comes back as a tool error naming the field (NetworkInputError [invalid-item]: items[2].requiredCfm: ...) so the model can correct it.

Example prompt that works in a fresh Claude Code session with only this server:

I have a furnace feeding a supply trunk that tees into two runouts: bedroom 1

needs 120 CFM, bedroom 2 needs 90 CFM, and the living room is fed off the trunk

end at 200 CFM. All drawn as 6 inch round. One return grille in the hall at

410 CFM on a 10 inch drop. Is anything undersized?

The agent builds the network in one size_duct_network call and reports 7, 6, and 8 in runouts, an 11 in trunk, and a return drop just under size at 10 in.

Engineering basis and limits

Equal friction at 0.08 in. w.g./100 ft, or at the Manual D rate derived from the blower's available static pressure when fan and lengths are given, with role-based velocity caps per system, rounded up to standard round diameters; see @openmep/hvac-domain for the formula, sources, and what is excluded (fitting losses, static pressure summation, fan selection). Airflow is a design input the server never estimates. Treat results as preliminary sizing for an engineer to review.

The server uses the official MCP TypeScript SDK and speaks the initialize-handshake protocol revisions (through 2025-11-25), which current clients support.

Library

import { createOpenMepServer } from "@openmep/mcp";
