Calculate Pool MCP server
Which MCP servers are Calculate Pool's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

- Registry namecom.calculatepool/calculatepoolverified in the MCP registry
The registry name sits under calculatepool.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-29 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 134 ms.
- Its tools do every use case we checked: calculate gallons for an inground or above-ground pool; estimate chemical doses from the pool's volume; size a pump or heater from pool volume.
- Checked on 6 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.
Once connected
- For "calculate gallons for an inground or above-ground pool", the likely first call is pool_volume.
- For "size a pump or heater from pool volume", the likely first call is pool_volume.
Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Worth a look
None of the five warning signs in these definitions.
A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →
pool_volumeUse this when someone wants to know how many gallons (or litres, cubic feet) a swimming pool holds from its shape and size: rectangle, round, oval, Roman, Grecian, kidney, L-shape or freeform, with one depth, a shallow and a deep end, or…
chemical_doseUse this when someone asks how much of a pool chemical to add to go from a current to a target level: chlorine (liquid chlorine 12.5 %, bleach 10 % or 6 %, cal-hypo 65 % or 73 %, dichlor, trichlor) for free chlorine; salt for a salt…
pump_sizeUse this when someone asks what size pool pump they need or what flow rate turns their pool over in a given number of hours. Takes gallons and turnover hours (default 8). Returns gallons per minute, gallons per hour, a rule-of-thumb…
heater_sizeUse this when someone asks what size pool heater (BTU per hour) they need to raise the water a number of degrees Fahrenheit in a given time. Takes gallons, the temperature rise in °F and the hours (default 24), plus an optional buffer for…
pool_factsUse this when someone asks how many gallons a common pool size holds, e.g. a 24 ft round above-ground pool with a 52 in wall or a 16 x 32 inground pool, or wants a table of standard sizes. Returns inground rectangles (12x24 to 25x50 ft at…
How to connect
Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"calculatepool": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://calculatepool.com/mcp?src=mcp"
}
}
}Add it
Claude Code, in a terminal
claude mcp add --transport http calculatepool https://calculatepool.com/mcp?src=mcpclaude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://calculatepool.com/mcp?src=mcp as a custom connector in the settings.
Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
