Material Selection Database

Material Selection Database MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Identify, rank, and compare engineering materials based on environmental conditions and performance requirements.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides a decision-support system for engineering material selection using Ashby-style methodology. It allows AI agents to identify suitable materials by evaluating operating conditions and mandatory constraints. Users can use find_suitable_materials to filter candidates, rank_materials to optimize for specific performance indices like stiffness-to-weight, compare_material_properties for side-by-side data analysis, and evaluate_manufacturability_and_cost to assess production feasibility. It is designed to work with Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, and Windsurf via Vinkius Edge.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

compare_material_properties

Provides a side-by-side comparison of specific properties between two or more materials

evaluate_manufacturability_and_cost

Assesses the economic and production feasibility of the selected materials

find_suitable_materials

Identifies a list of materials that satisfy all mandatory constraints and operating conditions

rank_materials

Orders the suitable materials based on a specific performance goal

Find materials that can withstand 500°C and have a minimum yield strength of 200 MPa.

The following materials meet your thermal and strength requirements: Titanium Alloy Ti-6Al-4V and Nickel-based Superalloy Inconel 718.

Rank these materials for the best stiffness-to-weight ratio: Aluminum 6061, Steel 1018, and Titanium Ti-6Al-4V.

Based on the stiffness-to-weight ratio, the ranking is: 1. Titanium Ti-6Al-4V, 2. Aluminum 6061, 3. Steel 1018.

Compare the density and yield strength of Aluminum 6061 and Steel 1018.

Aluminum 6061 has a density of 2.70 g/cm³ and a yield strength of 276 MPa, while Steel 1018 has a density of 7.87 g/cm³ and a yield strength of 370 MPa.

You can use the `find_suitable_materials` tool by providing a map of your required property thresholds and the expected operating conditions.
