## ๐Ÿš€ Quick Start
PlantHire AI is an MCP server for UK construction equipment rental, built by [MEOK AI Labs](https://meok.ai).
It provides intelligent search across a plant hire catalog, rental quote calculation,
real-time availability checking, booking creation, HSE-compliant pre-use safety
checklists, and transport cost estimation for equipment delivery and collection.

**Use cases:** excavator/dumper/roller hire quotation, site equipment availability
checks, LOLER/PUWER safety compliance, transport planning for heavy plant,
and multi-item rental booking workflows.

## Tools

| `search_equipment` | Search the construction equipment catalog by type, capacity, or keyword. Returns matching plant with specs and daily/weekly rates. |
| `get_rental_quote` | Calculate rental pricing for a piece of equipment over a given hire period, including delivery and collection costs. |
| `check_availability` | Check whether specific equipment is available for a requested date range across depots. |
| `create_booking` | Create an equipment rental booking with delivery address, hire dates, and contact details. |

TDQS

A3.5/5.0

Scored across 7 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Tools have distinct purposes, but rent_equipment subsumes the functionality of search, quote, availability, booking, and safety, creating potential ambiguity for agents whether to use the composite tool or the granular individual tools.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., calculate_transport, check_availability, create_booking). No mixing of conventions.

Tool Count5/5

7 tools is well within the optimal 3-15 range for a plant hire server. Each tool serves a distinct part of the workflow without being excessive or minimal.

Completeness3/5

Core workflows (search, quote, availability, booking, safety, transport) are covered, but there are notable missing operations such as update/cancel booking or modify transport. The end-to-end tool partially mitigates this but doesn't provide full CRUD.
