Model Context Protocol
Connect your agent to the supplier graph.
Weld indexes thousands of US contract manufacturers — CNC machining, sheet metal, stamping, welding, finishing, PCBA, and adjacent processes — with capability profiles, certifications, and federal contract history. The MCP server lets your agent search that graph directly. Your agent runs the loop; Weld returns the shops.
Endpoint
One stateless Streamable-HTTP endpoint. No API key required to search.
https://weldsourcing.com/api/mcpTools
- search_suppliers(query, limit?, explain?)
Search the graph with a natural-language sourcing brief — process, materials, certifications, industry, location, volume. Returns a ranked shortlist of US manufacturers with location, certifications, industries, and a profile slug.
- get_supplier(slug)
Pull one shop's full capability profile by slug: capabilities, materials, certifications, equipment, industries, contact details, and federal contract history when on record.
Add it to your client
Most MCP clients (Claude, Cursor, and the MCP Inspector) take a server URL directly. Drop this into your client's MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"weld": {
"url": "https://weldsourcing.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}Or call it directly
It's plain JSON-RPC 2.0 over POST — reachable from any HTTP client.
curl -s https://weldsourcing.com/api/mcp \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
"params":{"name":"search_suppliers",
"arguments":{"query":"5-axis CNC, AS9100, titanium, near San Jose"}}}'
