For AI tools

Use Afterware with your AI.

Afterware has a free MCP server, so your AI assistant can search every build here and pull the parts list, tools, cost and time estimates, AI-buildability score and a starter prompt, then help you make your own. No sign-up, no key.

MCP server

https://afterware.xyz/mcp

Remote MCP over streamable HTTP, read-only. Tools: search_builds, get_build, get_device, get_part, recent_vibe_coded.
