Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “estimate_part”: Instantly estimate the should-cost of a manufactured part using natural language. Returns P50 (median), P80 and P90 cost-at-risk per unit ba.”
“Use “search_materials”: Search the Costable materials database (37 materials with LME-sourced pricing). Returns material name, category, price per kg, density, and.”
“Use “search_processes”: Search the Costable manufacturing process database (41 processes). Returns process name, category, machine rate ($/hr), and cycle time model.”
“Use “get_labour_rates”: Get manufacturing labour rates ($/hr) for all skill levels in a given country. Data covers 16 skill levels across 25 countries (ILO/BLS/ABS.”
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Costable — Parametric Should-Cost Analysis holds up.
Operated by Costable — Parametric Should-Cost Analysis (costable.ai) 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 Costable — Parametric Should-Cost Analysis 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 Costable — Parametric Should-Cost Analysis in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Costable — Parametric Should-Cost Analysis's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

create_cost_model — Create a new parametric cost model in Costable. Returns the model ID which is used by add_material_to_model, add_process_to_model, calculate
add_material_to_model — Add a material (BOM line) to an existing cost model. Searches the materials database by name query — no need for exact IDs.
add_process_to_model — Add a manufacturing process step to an existing cost model. Searches the process database by name query — no need for exact IDs.
calculate_cost_model — Run the Monte Carlo should-cost calculation on a cost model. Returns P50 (median), P80 and P90 cost-at-risk per unit, plus a full cost break

https://costable.ai/api/mcpYes — Costable — Parametric Should-Cost Analysis operates its own remote MCP server at costable.ai. 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 Costable — Parametric Should-Cost Analysis in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Costable — Parametric Should-Cost Analysis's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
No. Costable — Parametric Should-Cost Analysis 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 Costable — Parametric Should-Cost Analysis in minutes. No credit card required.
Every server below works through the same gateway URL — connect once, add tools anytime.
