Tan Solutions MCP server
Which MCP servers are Tan Solutions'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.

On 2026-10-29 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 658 ms.
- Its tools do none of the product's use cases we checked: compare intended product CSV prices with current Shopify prices; download a dated receipt of expected and current values.
- Checked on 6 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.

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 →
find_crossings_nearFind US railroad crossings near a point. Give a latitude and longitude, and a distance of up to 2 miles (1 mile if left out). Returns up to the 25 closest crossings, each with its crossing ID, road, city, equipment, daily trains, distance…
get_crossingLook up one US railroad crossing by its 7-character FRA crossing ID. Returns its road, place, equipment, daily trains, road traffic, a link to its page, a link to this version of the record and a link to the FRA record.
county_summaryGet the totals for one US county. Returns the number of public railroad crossings, how many have gates, lights or signs, the most trains a day and the other facts shown on the county page, with a link to that page.
state_summaryGet the totals for one US state: the number of public railroad crossings and how many are equipped with gates, with flashing lights only, with signs only, or with other or unreported equipment. Returns a link to the state page.
train_activityGet the train activity number for one US point: a number from 0 to 100 for the trains that pass within 1 mile, built from the train counts railroads report to the FRA. Give a latitude and longitude, or the point as at, like…
How to connect
Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"crossings": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://railcrossingatlas.tansolutions.org/mcp"
}
}
}Add it
Claude Code, in a terminal
claude mcp add --transport http tansolutions https://railcrossingatlas.tansolutions.org/mcpclaude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://railcrossingatlas.tansolutions.org/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.
