Model Context Protocol

Free Manufacturing Quality Tools
for AI Assistants

The Pareto Base MCP server gives Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant the ability to run Pareto analysis, generate ISO audit checklists, and calculate scrap ROI — all from a natural conversation.

Available Tools

Pareto Scrap Analyzer

Paste your defect counts and get a full Pareto analysis — ranked by contribution, vital few identified, and a campaign target recommendation.

analyze_pareto
identify_vital_few
suggest_campaign_target

ISO 9001 / IATF Audit Prep

Ask what records you need for your upcoming audit, generate a checklist by standard, or get a gap analysis against what you already have.

get_audit_requirements
generate_scrap_data_checklist
check_audit_readiness

Scrap Cost & ROI Calculator

Calculate the dollar cost of your current scrap rate, compare it to industry benchmarks, and compute the ROI of reducing it.

calculate_scrap_cost
calculate_paretobase_roi
benchmark_cost_position

Add to Your AI Assistant

The server is hosted and ready — no setup required on your end.

Claude Desktop

Open claude_desktop_config.json — found at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on Mac or %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows — and add:

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paretobase": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.paretobase.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You'll see a 🔨 icon in the chat input when tools are active.

Cursor

Go to Settings → MCP and add a new server, or edit your .cursor/mcp.json:

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paretobase": {
      "url": "https://mcp.paretobase.com/mcp",
      "transport": "http"
    }
  }
}

Other MCP Clients

Any client that supports the MCP Streamable HTTP transport can connect to:

https://mcp.paretobase.com/mcp

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools and data sources during a conversation. When you ask Claude "what's our scrap rate costing us?" and the Pareto Base MCP server is connected, Claude can call our calculator directly and return a precise answer — without you copying data into a spreadsheet or switching applications.

Want live scrap tracking?

The MCP tools work on data you bring to the conversation. Pareto Base stores and analyses your scrap data continuously — so your AI assistant always has real numbers to work with.
