GlaziersEdge Knowledge MCP

A free, hosted MCP server providing AI agents with a cited reference for US commercial glass and glazing. It offers tools to browse topics, search knowledge, lookup glass performance data, cross-reference equivalent glass and aluminum systems, and estimate budget ranges. All tools are read-only and answers include confidence tags and source citations.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

GlaziersEdge Knowledge: commercial glass & glazing reference knowledge base (34 topics, US national coverage, prepared Oct 2026). Start with search_glazing_knowledge for free-text questions, list_topics/get_topic to read full sections, lookup_glass_performance for makeup data, cross_reference_glass / cross_reference_aluminum_system for equivalents, and budget_price_range for [Expert] budget ranges. Every answer carries confidence tags ([V], [V-mfr], [UNVERIFIED], [inference], [Expert]); pass them on to the user. Reference info; verify with manufacturer data, local code, and a licensed professional.

list_topics — List glazing knowledge-base topics

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-only

List the 34 topics in the commercial glass & glazing knowledge base (glass types, safety glazing codes IBC 2406, storefront/curtain wall, energy codes IECC/ASHRAE 90.1/Title 24, fire-rated, hurricane/impact, wind load ASTM E1300, butt-glazed partitions, shower door hardware and installation, mirrors and mirror safety backing, railings, sealants, testing, specs, warranties, discontinued products, glass performance data, aluminum system cross-reference, budget pricing). Returns topic numbers, titles, one-line summaries and UNVERIFIED counts. Call this first if you are unsure which topic covers a question. Responses keep the KB's confidence tags: [V] verified, [V-mfr] manufacturer claim, [UNVERIFIED], [inference], [Expert] field experience.

get_topic — Read a topic or one section

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-only

Read the full text of a knowledge-base topic, or a single section of it, with tables and verification tags intact. Use after list_topics or search_glazing_knowledge when you need the complete context (e.g. a whole code table). `topic` accepts a number (30), 'T30', 'Topic 30', or a title phrase ('butt glazed'); `section` accepts a section id like '30.4', 'sources', 'key', or a heading phrase like 'summary table' or 'bid-day checklist'. Long topics are paged: follow the continue_from hint. Responses keep the KB's confidence tags: [V] verified, [V-mfr] manufacturer claim, [UNVERIFIED], [inference], [Expert] field experience.

search_glazing_knowledge — Search the glazing knowledge base

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-only

Keyword search (BM25 relevance ranking) across all 34 topics; returns the best-matching sections with cited snippets (topic + section id), relevant tables, and the verification tags present. Best for free-text questions: code requirements ('IBC 2406 hazardous locations', 'IECC 2021 zone 2 SHGC'), sizing rules ('max size 1/2 tempered butt glazed', 'shower door hinge clamp rating'), definitions ('LSG', 'heat soak'), estimating red flags, lead-time drivers, testing standards. Use specific technical keywords. For numeric glass makeup data use lookup_glass_performance; for product equivalents use cross_reference_glass / cross_reference_aluminum_system; for budget $ use budget_price_range. Responses keep the KB's confidence tags: [V] verified, [V-mfr] manufacturer claim, [UNVERIFIED], [inference], [Expert] field experience.

Filter manufacturer center-of-glass performance data for 1 in. insulating glass units: Vitro (Solarban 60/70/72/90/R67/R77/R100, Sungate 400, Solarcool, Vistacool on Clear/Starphire/Acuity/Solexia/Atlantica/Azuria/Solarblue/Pacifica/Solarbronze/Optigray/Solargray/Optiblue/Graylite II; 145 makeups), Guardian SunGuard (SNX 62/27, SNX 51/23, SNE 50/25, SN 68, SN 54, SNR 50/43/35 on UltraClear/Clear/Green/CrystalGray/Gray) and Viracon (VNG-5024, VNG-4022, VNE-53, VRE-4725, VRE-4423 by substrate). Returns VLT, exterior/interior reflectance, U (air/argon), SHGC, LSG, catalog status and tags. Filter by maker, product, substrate, or limits (e.g. max_shgc 0.25 to meet IECC CZ 2). Old names like 'Solarban 70XL' or 'Solarban 67' are mapped to current names. Values are COG, not NFRC whole-product ratings. Responses keep the KB's confidence tags: [V] verified, [V-mfr] manufacturer claim, [UNVERIFIED], [inference], [Expert] field experience.

cross_reference_glass — Find equivalent glass coatings across makers

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-only

Given a glass coating/product (e.g. 'SNX 62/27', 'Solarban 70', 'SN 68', 'VNE-53', or an old name like 'Solarban 70XL'), return equivalents from other makers with a match rating (Close / Approximate / Not supported by the numbers). Uses (1) the KB's Guardian↔Vitro chart with tested deltas (Topic 32 §32.9), (2) computed nearest makeups across Vitro, Guardian and Viracon on the same substrate color family using the KB rating rule, and (3) Topic 29 renamed/discontinued notices. Use for 'or-equal' and substitution screening (e.g. 'SNX 62/27 Vitro equivalent'). Responses keep the KB's confidence tags: [V] verified, [V-mfr] manufacturer claim, [UNVERIFIED], [inference], [Expert] field experience.

cross_reference_aluminum_system — Find equivalent aluminum framing systems

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-only

Given an aluminum storefront, curtain wall, entrance door, window, interior or specialty framing series (e.g. 'Kawneer Trifab 451', '451T', '1600 Wall System 1', 'Tubelite E14000', 'YKK YES 45 TU', 'EFCO 403', 'Trifab 400'), return the equivalent series from Arcadia, OBE, Kawneer, Tubelite, EFCO/Wausau, YKK AP, CRL-U.S. Aluminum and Manko for the same family (54-row Topic 28 cross-reference), with basis (face x depth, glazing plane, thermal), Verified/Flagged status, notes, and Topic 29 discontinued-series notices. Equivalent does not mean identical: always check depth, plane, glass thickness, thermal tier, performance. Responses keep the KB's confidence tags: [V] verified, [V-mfr] manufacturer claim, [UNVERIFIED], [inference], [Expert] field experience.
