Subsea Robotics Survey MCP Server

NPM Version License: MIT Standards: API 17D / DNV-RP-B401 Knowledge Base: Gulf Coast Subsea

A deterministic, open-access Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing authoritative engineering specifications and calculations for offshore ROV tooling interfaces, resident autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) bathymetric surveying, cathodic protection (CP) electrochemical evaluation, and ASME PCC-1 subsea bolted flange preloads.

Grounded directly in the canonical technical whitepaper:

Gulf Coast Subsea Technical Insights: Autonomous Subsea Robotics, Resident AUV Systems, and Remote Operations: Decarbonizing Gulf of Mexico IMR Campaigns (2026–2030)
Permanent Academic DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.23029080


Capabilities & Available Tools

Tool Name

Governing Standard / Basis

Primary Function

api17d_torque_tool_interface

API Spec 17D / ISO 13628-8 (Table 14)

Looks up authoritative dimensional and torque ratings for ROV rotary intervention tools (Class 1 through Class 7), including socket geometries (11/16" Double-D to 3.5" square) and compatible ROV classes.

auv_multibeam_survey_coverage

Acoustic Bathymetric Geometry

Calculates AUV multibeam sonar line spacing, coverage rate ($km^2/\text{hour}$ and $km^2/\text{day}$), and carbon emission abatement metrics versus conventional DP2 dive support vessels.

evaluate_cathodic_protection

DNV-RP-B401 / NACE SP0176

Evaluates subsea structural steel electrochemical potential readings ($Ag/AgCl$), detecting active corrosion, optimal polarization, and hydrogen-induced stress cracking (HISC) risks in high-strength steels.

subsea_bolting_torque_preload

ASME PCC-1 / API 17D App G

Computes subsea bolted flange makeup torque (ft-lbs and N.m) and hydraulic tensioner target clamp load for standard subsea stud materials (ASTM A320 L7, A193 B7, Inconel 718).

    A3.5/5.0

    Scored across 4 tools

    Disambiguation4/5

    The four tools target distinct activities, but api17d_torque_tool_interface and subsea_bolting_torque_preload both involve subsea torque and API 17D, which could cause selection confusion for agents focused on torque values. Descriptions help differentiate lookup vs. calculation, but the overlap is noticeable.

    Naming Consistency3/5

    All names use snake_case, but the structure is mixed: two are domain-prefixed noun phrases, one begins with a verb ('evaluate_'), and one uses a 'subsea_' prefix. This inconsistency makes the set less predictable than a uniform verb_noun convention.

    Tool Count4/5

    Four tools is slightly thin for the broad 'subsea robotics survey' domain, but each tool is distinct and purpose-specific. It stays well below overcrowding and avoids triviality.

    Completeness3/5

    The surface covers specific engineering calculations and one specification lookup, but there are clear gaps for a survey-focused server, such as ROV survey planning, data processing, or other common subsea inspection workflows. The mix of torque, CP, and coverage tools feels more like a partial toolkit than a complete domain surface.
