MCP integration

Add this tool to your Model Context Protocol server so AI agents can list and call it.

Server configuration

Add this block to your MCP client configuration:

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elysiatools-section-modulus-calculator": {
      "name": "section-modulus-calculator",
      "description": "Calculate the elastic section modulus W = I/y_max and associated geometric properties. Supports rectangle, solid circle, hollow tube, and I-beam; computes I, distance c, area A, and radius of gyration r. Units in mm.",
      "baseUrl": "https://api.elysiatools.com/mcp/sse?toolId=section-modulus-calculator",
      "command": "",
      "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": "section-modulus-calculator",
    "arguments": {
  "shape": "rectangle",
  "b": 50,
  "h": 100,
  "D": 0,
  "Do": 0,
  "Di": 0,
  "B": 0,
  "H": 0,
  "tw": 0,
  "tf": 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).
