Reticle Red MCP server

Which MCP servers are Reticle Red'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.reticle-red/laser-jobsverified in the MCP registry

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

  • Answered on only 3 of 16 daily checks.
  • Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.

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 · generate engraving art fitted to a photo of a part
  • not sure · trace photos into vector art for laser engraving
  • cannot · export Lightburn or EZCAD files for CO2, fiber and diode lasers

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 →

    List every job in Reticle Red's public job index, grouped, with the tool, output formats and published credit cost for each.

How to connect

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "laser-jobs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://reticle-red.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http reticle-red https://reticle-red.com/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://reticle-red.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.
