Tools observed via MCP handshake

connection_route — Work out which ENA connection procedure a domestic installation of solar panels, batteries or both falls under: connect first and notify the distribution networ
get_document — Fetch the full text of one guide, article or set of questions by its slug, as Markdown, not HTML. Slugs come from search_documents or list_documents. The answe
heat_pump_noise — Calculate the sound pressure level an air source heat pump produces at an assessment position, and whether it meets the 37 dB(A) permitted development noise lim
heat_pump_running_cost — Compare what a household spends heating on its current fuel with what the same heat would cost from a heat pump. The heat demand is worked out from the househo
heat_pump_size — Estimate the heat pump a UK house needs, and what it would cost to run against the fuel it burns now. IMPORTANT: MIS 3005-D requires a heat pump to be sized fr
hot_water_cylinder — Work out the daily hot water demand of a dwelling and the size of cylinder a heat pump needs, using the formula in MIS 3005-D 3.5.2 and the BS 6700 guidance rep
list_calculators — Lists every calculator on this server, with the standard behind it and whether it is the whole-system sizing calculator or one of the single-method ones, plus t
list_documents — Lists every document, optionally filtered by kind ('guide', 'article' or 'faq'), by category, or, for guides, by the reader they are written for. Guides are she
radiator_flow_temperature — Work out the flow temperature a heat pump must produce to heat a room through a given radiator, and the resulting MCS Heat Emitter Guide star rating, following
room_heat_loss — Calculate the design heat loss of a single room in watts, following BS EN 12831 as MIS 3005-D applies it. This is the figure a heat pump is sized from and the f
search_documents — Search the guides, articles and questions for material on a UK home energy subject. Use this first, before answering from memory, whenever a question concerns
solar_pv_output — Estimate the annual AC electricity output of a UK solar photovoltaic system, in kWh, using the standard estimation method that MIS 3002 requires every MCS certi
solar_pv_self_consumption — Estimate what proportion of a domestic solar PV system's annual output is consumed in the house and what proportion is exported, using the lookup tables in MGD
solar_pv_shading — Convert a completed MCS sunpath shading assessment into a shade factor, using the procedure in MGD 005. The MCS sunpath chart is divided into 84 segments, each
solar_pv_system_size — Work out the solar PV system a UK home needs: the capacity in kWp, the number of panels, the battery to go with it, and what it would do to the electricity bill
