PartsTable MCP server

Which MCP servers are PartsTable'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.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.partstable/partstableverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under partstable.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-25 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 249 ms.

  • Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.
  • Checked on 2 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

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.

What an agent can do with it

  • not sure · look up a part number's cross references and vendors
  • not sure · convert pasted part-number lists into a table for Excel
  • not sure · build machine parts sheets with end-of-life dates

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

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 →

  • normalize-pn

    Normalize an IT hardware part number into its standard form. Handles HPE (B21/001/spare), Dell (400-XXXX, DP/N), and IBM/Lenovo (FRU) formats. Critical for deduplication and accurate lookups.

  • validate-pn

    Validate a part number and check whether it exists in the PartsTable catalog (26,182,530 distinct part numbers, measured 2026-10-25), from government, OEM, and commercial authority sources. Returns structural validity and catalog existence.

  • get-part

    Get the part record: identity, manufacturer, description, category, lifecycle, and government classification (NSN/FSC) when present. Sourced from the PartsTable read model.

  • get-substitutes

    Find substitute / equivalent / cross-referenced part numbers in the PartsTable cross-reference graph (2,001,002 cross-references, measured 2026-10-18).

  • search-parts

    Look up a batch of part numbers (max 25) against the PartsTable catalog. Returns per-part identity summary and whether each exists.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

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

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http partstable https://partstable.com/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://partstable.com/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.
