Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for sourcing wire harnesses and cable assemblies: search manufacturers and cross-reference component part numbers for alternatives.

What you can do
  • Search a directory of wire-harness and cable-assembly manufacturers, filtered by country, industry, capability or partial name, returning profiles with location, website, industries, plant count and capabilities
  • Cross-reference a component part number (connectors, terminals, seals, cable protection) against an equivalence graph, optionally disambiguated by manufacturer
  • Read grouped relationship results — verified replacements, functional equivalents, same series or variants, and mates — each with a confidence level and, where available, a public source URL
When to use it
Useful when an assistant has to answer sourcing questions about wire harnesses or cable assemblies — who makes a given type of part, or what part could replace a given part number — where general web knowledge is unreliable. It is a directory and reference service, not a quoting or brokering tool.
Requirements
A remote streamable-HTTP endpoint; nothing to install. No API key or account is required. Network access to the hosted service is needed.
Before you install
Profiles are compiled from public sources and manufacturer self-declaration; capability and certification claims are sourced, not audited, so check the profile's own material before relying on one commercially. Only the verified replacements group should be read as a substitution recommendation, and even that warrants engineering review for safety-relevant applications; other groups are not substitutes. The service does not broker, quote or transact, and listing is not endorsement.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Harness Atlas in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

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/io.github.pawel-kowalczyk%2Fharness-atlas/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.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

Harness Atlas — MCP server

A remote Model Context Protocol server for sourcing wire harnesses and cable assemblies. It answers two questions an agent cannot answer from general web knowledge: who manufactures this, and what part can replace this one.

Hosted, public, no API key, nothing to install.

https://harnessatlas.com/api/mcp

Listed in the official MCP registry as io.github.pawel-kowalczyk/harness-atlas.

The endpoint moved to harnessatlas.com on 2026-08-24 (manifest v0.2.0). The previous Supabase URL still works and is not being retired, so existing clients keep functioning — but this is the address to use.


Why it exists

Wire-harness sourcing data is scattered across trade directories, PDF catalogues and manufacturer sites that general-purpose models summarise badly and cite unreliably. Harness Atlas is a structured directory of the sector with per-field provenance, exposed over MCP so an agent can query it directly instead of guessing.

Tools

find_manufacturer

Search the directory of wire-harness and cable-assembly manufacturers. All parameters optional.

Returns name, HQ country and city, website, industries served, plant count, capabilities and a profile URL.

find_alternative

Cross-reference a component part number — connectors, terminals, seals, cable protection — against the XrefBase equivalence graph. part_number is required; manufacturer is optional and disambiguates an MPN that exists under several makers (aliases such as TE and H+S are accepted). Punctuation and case are normalised, so 1-967616-1 and 19676161 both match.

Results are grouped by relationship strength, and the groups are not interchangeable:

GroupMeaning
verified_replacementsCorroborated drop-in or manufacturer-superseded parts
functional_equivalentsSame job, but needs engineering review
same_series, variantsSame family, different configuration — not substitutes
mates_withThe counterpart it plugs into — specifically not a substitute

Every claim carries a confidence level and, where one exists, a public source URL. The grouping is the point: a tool that returns one flat list of "alternatives" invites an agent to propose a mating connector as a replacement part.

Connecting

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add --transport http harness-atlas https://harnessatlas.com/api/mcp

Claude Desktop / any client taking a remote MCP URL — add to your MCP config:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "harness-atlas": {      "type": "streamable-http",      "url": "https://harnessatlas.com/api/mcp"    }  }}

Straight JSON-RPC, to try it without a client:

bash
curl -s -X POST https://harnessatlas.com/api/mcp \  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{        "name":"find_manufacturer",        "arguments":{"country":"Poland","industry":"automotive","limit":3}}}'

The data, honestly

  • 513 published manufacturers, 715 plants, 65 countries. Coverage is deepest in Europe, with meaningful presence in North America and Asia.
  • Profiles are compiled from public sources and manufacturer self-declaration. Independent verification is in progress and is not yet reflected in most listings — treat capability and certification claims as sourced, not audited, and follow the profile URL to the operator's own material before relying on one commercially.
  • Equivalence claims carry their own confidence level and a source URL where a public one exists. verified_replacements is the only group that should be read as a substitution recommendation, and even that warrants engineering review for a safety-relevant application.
  • Corrections are welcome — open an issue here or use the contact form on the site.

Scope

Harness Atlas is a directory and reference service. It does not broker, quote or transact, and listing is not endorsement.

This repository

The server runs as a hosted endpoint; its implementation is not open source. This repository is the public home for the server: its registry manifest, documentation and examples.

server.json is a mirror published for registry discovery. The canonical copy lives with the implementation and is what mcp-publisher publishes — if the two ever disagree, the version in the official registry is authoritative.

Licence

MIT — covering this repository's contents: the server manifest, documentation and examples.

The licence does not extend to the Harness Atlas directory data returned by the hosted endpoint. That data remains proprietary and is offered for use through the endpoint itself.

Tools

find_manufacturer

Search the Harness Atlas directory of wire-harness and cable-assembly manufacturers. Filter by country, industry served, process capability, or name. Returns listed manufacturer profiles (location, website, industries, capabilities).

Parametersnamelimitcountryindustrycapability

find_alternative

Cross-reference a wire-harness component part number (connectors, terminals, seals, cable protection) against the XrefBase equivalence graph. Results are grouped by how strong the relationship is, and the groups are not interchangeable: `verified_replacements` are corroborated drop-in or manufacturer-superseded parts; `functional_equivalents` do the same job but need engineering review; `same_series` and `variants` are the same family in a different configuration and are NOT substitutes; `mates_with` is the counterpart connector the part plugs into, which is specifically not a substitute for it. Every claim carries a confidence level and, where one exists, a public source URL.
