88 free engineering calculators: RF link budgets, LoRa/Meshtastic, PCB, solar, homelab. Keyless. Connect the official calc.engineer MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor through gate — one gateway URL, no config files, security-checked.
Free to start · No credit card · No hosting needed
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “fspl”: Calculate free-space path loss (FSPL) in decibels using the ITU-R P.525 standard formula. Given a frequency in MHz and distance in kilometre.”
“Use “link_budget”: Compute a full RF link budget from transmitter power, frequency, distance, and antenna gains. Calculates EIRP, free-space path loss (ITU-R P.”
“Use “dipole”: Calculate physical dimensions of a dipole antenna for a given frequency. Returns half-wave or quarter-wave element length in metres, feet, a.”
“Use “microstrip”: Calculate PCB microstrip trace width for a target characteristic impedance using the Hammerstad-Jensen closed-form equations. Given target i.”
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how calc.engineer holds up.
Operated by calc.engineer (calc.engineer) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If calc.engineer adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose calc.engineer in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
calc.engineer's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

Fetched live from the official endpoint and re-checked daily by gate — not marketing copy.

dbm_convert — Convert a power level in dBm to milliwatts, watts, dBW, and RMS voltage across a given impedance. dBm is the standard unit for RF power refe
noise_figure_cascade — Calculate the cascaded noise figure of a multi-stage receiver chain using the Friis formula. Each stage has a noise figure and gain in dB. T
vswr — Convert between VSWR, return loss, and reflection coefficient — provide any one parameter and get all related impedance-mismatch metrics. Co
attenuator_pi — Design a Pi-topology resistive attenuator pad. Given a desired attenuation in dB and characteristic impedance (default 50 ohm), computes the

https://calc.engineer/mcpYes — calc.engineer operates its own remote MCP server at calc.engineer. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick calc.engineer in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, calc.engineer's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
No. calc.engineer runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect calc.engineer in minutes. No credit card required.
Every server below works through the same gateway URL — connect once, add tools anytime.
