Lead times, prices, tariffs and grid interconnection terms for factory and datacenter equipment.
Remote MCP server exposing Open Factory data on equipment lead times, price bands, tariffs and grid interconnection terms for factory and datacenter projects.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.open-factory%2Fopen-factory/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

}Search articles
Search Open Factory articles by topic, equipment class, company, tag or series ID. Returns the best matches with slug, URL, date, pillar, summary and the CSV files behind their charts; the slug identifies an article for a full-text read.

The current public headline number of every Open Factory model (lead time, build cost per MW, book-to-bill, OEM disclosure, energization year), each with its source document and date.
Takes no parameters.
Lead times by class
Current published lead time, in weeks, for factory and datacenter electrical equipment classes (transformers, switchgear, switchboards, MCC, busway, gensets, ATS, drives), each with the OEM or publisher and its date. Optional text filter on the class name. Edition history and per-product OEM rows are paid.
queryBid-tab price bands
Transaction price bands from public procurement awards: pad-mount and power transformers ($/kVA), MV switchgear, gensets ($/kW) and chillers ($/ton), with p25, median, p75, n, buyers and award-date range. Filter by class and window (recent = awards since 2024-01-01). Award rows with document URLs are paid.

US import tariff for factory and datacenter equipment: 22 HTS lines (transformers, switchgear, gensets, chillers, machine tools, robots and parts) by origin country, with MFN, Section 232, Section 301 and total ad valorem rates and the instrument behind each. Filter by HTS prefix, origin or a word in the description.
htsqueryoriginLarge-load interconnection terms

oemcellsThe Record
Every dated, checkable forecast Open Factory has made (lead times, prices, tariffs, power), the public series it is scored against, the date it resolves, and the result once scored. Filter by status.

The source table one Open Factory calculator runs on, with every input's provenance: copper-wire-price-sheet, genset-tco, interconnection-cost, lead-time-schedule, pjm-capacity-bill, quote-check, tariff-exposure-calculator, transformer-sizing-cost. The calculation itself runs in the browser at the tool URL in this version.
toolrequired72% of the applicable checks met
How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
Publish an icon in the registry entry.
Declare a GitHub repository with a README, or serve resource_documentation in the OAuth protected-resource metadata.
A hosted service is used under its provider's terms, so no license is expected here. This check is left out of the percentage.
