Volumetric Flow Rate Converter (m³/h / L/min / gpm / cfm)

Convert volumetric flow rate between m³/h (cubic metres per hour), L/min (litres per minute), gpm (US gallons per minute, 1 gal = 3.785411784 L), and cfm (cubic feet per minute, 1 ft³ = 28.3168466 L). Converts via m³/s to the target unit and also lists the equivalent value in all four units for reference. Used for pumps, HVAC, compressed air, and piping.

      "args": [],
      "env": {},
      "isActive": true,
      "type": "sse"
    }
  }
}

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": "flow-rate-volume-converter",
    "arguments": {
  "inputUnit": "L/min",
  "value": 100,
  "outputUnit": "gpm",
  "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).
