Costable — Parametric Should-Cost Analysis MCP server

• add_material_to_modelFree

  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_modelFree

  Add a manufacturing process step to an existing cost model. Searches the process database by name query — no need for exact IDs.

• calculate_cost_modelwrite actionFree

  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 breakdown (material, labour, machine, overhead, margin).

• compare_manufacturing_countrieswrite actionFree

  Run the cost model across multiple manufacturing countries simultaneously to identify the optimal sourcing location. Returns P50/P80/P90 per country and % delta vs baseline.

• create_cost_modelwrite actionFree

  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_cost_model, and compare_manufacturing_countries.

• estimate_partFree

  Instantly estimate the should-cost of a manufactured part using natural language. Returns P50 (median), P80 and P90 cost-at-risk per unit based on Monte Carlo simulation of material price variance, labour rate variance and cycle time uncertainty. Use this for quick feasibility checks before building a full cost model.

• get_labour_ratesFree

  Get manufacturing labour rates ($/hr) for all skill levels in a given country. Data covers 16 skill levels across 25 countries (ILO/BLS/ABS sourced).

• review_supplier_quoteFree

  Analyse a supplier quote against Costable's should-cost benchmarks. Returns a line-by-line delta (% over/under should-cost), verdict (LOW / COMPETITIVE / HIGH / VERY HIGH), and a list of the top items to challenge in negotiation.

• search_materialsFree

  Search the Costable materials database (37 materials with LME-sourced pricing). Returns material name, category, price per kg, density, and strength properties.

• search_processesFree

  Search the Costable manufacturing process database (41 processes). Returns process name, category, machine rate ($/hr), and cycle time model.
