Beam Reaction Force Calculator (Simply Supported)
Calculate support reactions of a simply supported beam via static equilibrium. UDL: RA=RB=q·L/2. Center point load: RA=RB=P/2. Off-center point load at a: RA=P·b/L, RB=P·a/L. Also returns max shear Vmax and max moment Mmax.

}List available tools
After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:
tools/list
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/list"
}Call this tool
Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:
tools/call
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "beam-reaction-force",
"arguments": {
"loadType": "udl",
"L": 10,
"q": 10,
"P": 0,
"a": 0,
"decimalPlaces": 4
}
}
}Chain multiple tools in one session with a comma-separated toolId list, e.g. /mcp/sse?toolId=png-to-webp,jpg-to-webp,gif-to-webp (max 20).
