rigshare-mcp

Model Context Protocol server for RIGShare — browse construction equipment and Robotics & AI hardware rentals from any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, custom agent frameworks).

What it does

Exposes seven tools to your AI agent — four read-only (no auth) and three authenticated (require a RIGShare API key).

Read-only (no API key needed):

Authenticated (require RIGSHARE_API_KEY env var with appropriate scopes):

Read-only tools hit the public API (100 req/min/IP). Authenticated tools hit the /api/v1/agent/* surface using Bearer auth and respect the API key's configured scopes + budget caps.

Use cases

For ML / AI engineers:

• "Find me the cheapest H100 available this weekend"
• "Are there any A100 80GB setups with SSH access right now?"
• "What's the going rate for inference GPUs on RIGShare?"

For robotics researchers:

• "Which humanoid robots can I rent for bipedal locomotion testing?"
• "Show me industrial arms with camera feeds under $200/day"

For construction contractors:

• "Find an excavator under 10 tons in Texas"
• "What scissor lifts are available this week in Salinas?"

For AI procurement agents:

• "Give me a list of all rentable 3D printers in California, sorted by price"

For equipment owners (supply-side recruitment):

• "I have a Unitree G1 humanoid sitting idle — how do I rent it out?"
• "I own a 4x H100 rig — is there a marketplace for this?"
• "We have 3 excavators our crew only uses 60% of the time. Can we rent the rest out?"

For any of these, the agent calls rigshare_get_owner_onboarding (optionally with the equipment type) and gets back the full pitch: commission rates, the right signup URL, the step-by-step process, and the division-specific pitch (remote-access for robotics/AI, GPS + insurance for construction).

Installation

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rigshare": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "rigshare-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You should see "rigshare" in the 🔌 MCP servers list in the chat input area.

~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rigshare": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "rigshare-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Continue extension)

Add to your Continue config under mcpServers:

{
  "rigshare": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "rigshare-mcp"]
