AI-powered planthire ai MCP server for agents. Supports search equipment, get rental quote, ... That is what the planthire mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
This MCP server is built with EU AI Act compliance built-in:
The server publishes 6 tools. What each one is for:
search_equipment — Search the construction equipment catalog by type, capacity, or keyword. Returns matching plant with specs and daily/weekly ratesget_rental_quote — Calculate rental pricing for a piece of equipment over a given hire period, including delivery and collection costscheck_availability — Check whether specific equipment is available for a requested date range across depotscreate_booking — Create an equipment rental booking with delivery address, hire dates, and contact detailsget_safety_checklist — Get an HSE-compliant pre-use safety inspection checklist tailored to the equipment type (e.g. excavator, telehandler)calculate_transport — Estimate transport costs for delivery and/or collection of hired equipment based on site postcode and equipment dimensionsThe server ships on npm as @smithery/cli, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Planthire's toolset — search_equipment, get_rental_quote, check_availability and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by CSOAI-ORG; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
