For AI agents — MCPBundles Directory API
Recommended: Directory API v1 over HTTP for detail and anonymous invoke when eligible (not MCP JSON-RPC on the publisher URL; no user MCPBundles credentials on v1).
GET https://www.mcpbundles.com/api/directory/v1/servers/optimalbeam-mcp-f265b077ff
GET https://www.mcpbundles.com/api/directory/v1/servers/optimalbeam-mcp-f265b077ff?live=1 (optional live refresh)
GET https://www.mcpbundles.com/api/directory/v1/servers/optimalbeam-mcp-f265b077ff/tools/<tool> (one tool: schema + invoke.url)
POST https://www.mcpbundles.com/api/directory/v1/servers/optimalbeam-mcp-f265b077ff/tools/{tool}
POST body: flat JSON of tool argument names and values; not an arguments wrapper. Replace {tool} with a tool name from GET detail.
Restricted agent shell (ChatGPT Codex desktop, some IDE sandboxes):
Default command sandboxes often block outbound network. curl exit 6 or "Could not resolve host" for www.mcpbundles.com is usually sandbox DNS — not evidence this site is down.
Retry the same Directory API GET with sandbox_permissions "require_escalated" and a one-sentence justification on the shell tool (Codex on-request approval). Do not tell the user the site is unreachable from sandbox curl alone.
Example justification: Run the public MCPBundles Directory API search outside the command sandbox to complete the user's MCP server lookup.
If the agent has browser access (e.g. Codex @Browser): open https://www.mcpbundles.com/?q=<query> or stay on this page — no shell network needed. Use WebMCP search_mcp_servers then get_mcp_server (document.modelContext / page tools; refresh with fetchTools or getTools if a tool id is missing from the snapshot). Read-only directory search; same index as Directory API v1 GETs. Neither WebMCP nor Directory API v1 uses user MCPBundles credentials.
Without a browser: after escalated curl fails, use GET https://www.mcpbundles.com/?q=<query> with Accept: text/markdown for ranked results.
Hub MCP (connected session): discover_mcp_servers — same filter semantics as search_mcp_servers.

Search steel sections — Find catalog steel sections across all five regions by default, or a specified region, designation, family, depth series or geometric-property filters. Sort all matching records by relevance, lowest weight, smallest depth or highest Ix before pagination. Missing ranking values are reported; this is geometric ranking, not whole-catalog beam optimization. For a section lookup or property comparison, call show_steel_sections once with the final exact references; no beam inputs are needed. Returns e
Find nearby steel sections — Find deterministic nearby alternatives to an exact catalog section: lighter/heavier in its depth series, another similar Ix option, and a neighboring depth series with similar weight when available. Returns exact references and reasons, keeping the same catalog edition and family. No beam inputs are needed. Then call show_steel_sections with the original and chosen alternatives. These are property alternatives, not design recommendations.
Get steel-section properties — Retrieve a specific steel section using the exact library and slug from search_steel_sections. Returns geometric properties in metric and imperial units. Material stiffness E must be specified separately for analysis.
Analyze a beam — When beam details are missing, proceed with reasonable, clearly stated assumptions and calculate a preliminary result instead of routinely blocking on clarification. Preserve every supplied input. Briefly state the assumptions before calling a calculation tool, and record each assumed value or arrangement in inputAssumptions so it remains visible with the result. With no unit context, use metric units; for an otherwise unspecified simple beam, use pinned/roller end supports, a downward point for

Operate Optimal Beam?

This server appears in the MCPBundles directory. Verify you operate it to take over the listing — name, description, logo, contact email, and skill content. We email a 6-digit code to a maintainer address your server publishes in /.well-known/security.txt or /.well-known/mcpbundles.json. Free, takes about a minute.

Show steel sections — Show one catalog section or compare 2–6 sections by dimensions, weight and geometric properties, with schematics, unit switching, baseline percentage differences and exact website links. No beam, loads, supports or material E required. Search/get first, then pass only the exact edition-scoped references, never invented property values. Call once for the final shortlist. This compares catalog properties, not member capacity or beam response. No overall winner is implied. For a preliminary calcula

Show beam results — Display one final analysis or comparison returned by analyze_beam or compare_steel_sections. Pass the exact resultId. Set diagram to the result the user asked to see, for example deflection for a deflection question or shear for a shear question; otherwise omit it. Never supply invented result values. For a comparison, the card shows the verified shortlist and lets the user inspect any candidate. Call once after the final calculation. Results expire after 30 minutes or a service restart; recalcu
