Cable Ampacity Calculator (IEC 60364-5-52)
Estimate copper cable current-carrying capacity per the simplified IEC 60364-5-52 reference method. Combines cross-section, insulation (PVC 70°C / XLPE 90°C), installation method, and ambient temperature to derive the corrected allowable ampacity (A).

}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": "cable-ampacity-calculator",
"arguments": {
"crossSection": "2.5",
"insulation": "PVC",
"installMethod": "E1",
"ambientTemp": 30,
"decimalPlaces": 2
}
}
}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).
