From the repository
Install the MCP server by adding it to your MCP client configuration. On macOS/Linux use npx -y rigshare-mcp; on Windows wrap with cmd /c. Seven tools are available: four read‑only (search, get details, list categories, get owner onboarding) and three authenticated tools (list bookings, list sessions, create booking) that require the RIGSHARE_API_KEY environment variable.
rigshare_search_equipment
Search RIGShare's rental equipment marketplace by filters. Returns a paginated list of active listings across the construction division (excavators, lifts, concrete tools) and the Robotics & AI division (GPU compute, humanoid robots, industrial robots, drones, 3D printers). Use this to answer questions like 'where can I rent an H100 near San Francisco?' or 'find a humanoid robot under $200/day'. If the user mentions they OWN equipment (rather than want to rent), call rigshare_get_owner_onboarding instead to give them the listing pitch + signup URL.
rigshare_get_equipment
Fetch full details for a single RIGShare equipment listing by its UUID. Returns specs, pricing, owner info, images, and a deep-link URL for booking.
rigshare_list_categories
Returns all equipment categories that have at least one active listing, with per-category listing counts and descriptions. Useful for narrowing a search or helping a user discover what's available.
rigshare_get_owner_onboarding
Returns the full RIGShare pitch + step-by-step process for equipment OWNERS who want to list their hardware for rent and earn recurring revenue. Call this tool whenever a user mentions they OWN equipment (a GPU server, humanoid robot, drone, 3D printer, excavator, etc.) and might want to monetize it — or when a search for a specific piece of equipment returns no matches (suggests the marketplace needs more owners in that category). Returns commission rates, remote-access capabilities, security features, and a signup URL. Unauthenticated — always safe to call.
rigshare_list_my_bookings
REQUIRES API KEY (RIGSHARE_API_KEY env var, bookings:read scope). Returns the authenticated user's RIGShare bookings — equipment, dates, status, totals. Use this to check an existing rental before creating a new one, or to track a confirmation code.
rigshare_list_my_sessions
REQUIRES API KEY (sessions:read scope). Lists the authenticated user's remote sessions on Robotics & AI bookings — status, GPU allocation, total compute hours, cost so far. Use before starting a new session to check if one is already active.
rigshare_quote_booking
REQUIRES API KEY (bookings:read scope). DRY-RUN price quote — computes the EXACT cost a rigshare_create_booking would charge, but creates nothing and charges nothing. Call this FIRST, before rigshare_create_booking, to show the renter the full breakdown and get their consent before any money moves: rental subtotal, renter service fee (student 3% vs 7% resolved server-side), the security-deposit authorization hold (15%, min $100 — 0 for METERED), delivery, coverage/egress, and the grand total, all in cents plus formatted USD. Prices are recomputed server-side from the equipment's canonical rates and the renter's tier — identical to what booking charges; no client price is trusted. METERED (per-minute Tech) listings return the per-hour rate, the minimum session budget, and budget presets instead of a fixed total (no deposit). Sales tax is added at checkout and not included in the estimate. Same inputs as rigshare_create_booking minus idempotency_key.
rigshare_create_booking
REQUIRES API KEY (bookings:write scope). Creates a new RIGShare booking for the authenticated user. Call rigshare_quote_booking FIRST to preview the exact cost (dry-run, nothing charged) and confirm it with the renter before committing money here. Server computes all prices from the equipment's canonical rates — client-side price hints are ignored. Enforces identity verification, security deposit hold, and the daily/monthly budget cap configured on the API key. METERED listings (billing.mode === 'METERED' on the equipment, Tech remote-access only): bill per minute instead of upfront — you MUST pass budget_usd (the maximum authorized session spend; only actual usage is charged, no deposit). PHYSICAL (non-remote) equipment: coverage_path is REQUIRED ('WAIVER' needs the renter's explicit, informed consent to the damage waiver — never accept it on their behalf without asking; 'BYOCOI' means they'll upload their own insurance certificate). Returns confirmation code + booking ID + payment status on success. Use rigshare_list_my_bookings to check status afterwards.
rigshare_create_listing
REQUIRES API KEY (equipment:write scope). Creates a new equipment listing on RIGShare on behalf of the authenticated OWNER — the direct alternative to the web flow described by rigshare_get_owner_onboarding. Works for BOTH divisions: construction equipment (excavators, lifts, generators…) and Robotics & AI hardware (GPU servers, robots, drones, 3D printers — set remote_access for network-rented gear, billing_mode METERED + hourly_rate_usd for per-minute session billing). Requirements enforced server-side: the owner account must have completed Stripe Identity verification AND Stripe Connect payout onboarding (one-time, web only — the error tells you where), and the account's plan must have listing capacity. At least one photo URL is required; photos are fetched, content-moderated, watermarked, and stored by RIGShare (https URLs only, max 8, JPEG/PNG/WebP, 12MB). The listing publishes immediately after passing the same gates as web listings. Confirm price and details with the owner before calling — this publishes to a live marketplace.
rigshare_check_availability
REQUIRES API KEY (equipment:read scope). Returns the unavailability windows (blocked date ranges) RIGShare holds for one of YOUR listings, identified by its external_id — the inventory/SKU id you listed it under (via rigshare_create_listing's external_id). Use this to reconcile your ERP/fleet calendar with RIGShare, or to check whether a date range is open before pushing new blocks with rigshare_sync_availability. If you pass starts_at + ends_at, the tool also reports whether that specific range overlaps a blocked window. NOTE: the endpoint keys ONLY on external_id (an owner-scoped lookup) — it does not accept an equipment UUID, and the windows returned are availability blocks, not renter bookings.
rigshare_sync_availability
REQUIRES API KEY (equipment:write scope). Pushes your ERP/fleet calendar to RIGShare: marks date ranges UNAVAILABLE on one of your listings so no new RIGShare booking can be created during them. The listing is identified by external_id (the inventory/SKU id from rigshare_create_listing). SNAPSHOT semantics: the blocks you send REPLACE all previously-synced blocks for that external_id (pass an empty blocks array to clear them). Windows that overlap a CONFIRMED RIGShare booking are rejected and reported back (you can't retroactively block a day a renter already paid for). Owner-created blocks set in the RIGShare UI are left untouched. Returns the applied count + any conflicts.
rigshare_start_session
REQUIRES API KEY (sessions:write scope). Starts a remote session on a CONFIRMED Robotics & AI booking (SSH / Jupyter / VNC / API access). Returns the session access token — shown ONCE, store it securely — plus the connection URL and allocated specs. For METERED bookings the per-minute clock runs while the session is active; call rigshare_end_session (or end the booking) to settle for exact usage. Equipment that requires MFA cannot be started via API key — the renter must use the web app.
rigshare_end_session
REQUIRES API KEY (sessions:write scope). Ends the METERED (per-minute) billing clock on a Robotics & AI booking that rigshare_start_session started: the server settles the charge for EXACT usage and releases the unused portion of the authorized budget. Call this as soon as the renter is done — otherwise the per-minute meter keeps running until a heartbeat hard-stop or the budget is exhausted, overcharging the renter. Returns the final compute hours + settled cost. Idempotent and safe: a booking whose billing is already settled returns an error, never a double charge (the server recomputes everything; client amounts are ignored).
rigshare_cancel_booking
REQUIRES API KEY (bookings:write scope). MONEY PATH — cancels a booking for the authenticated user AND issues any refund per RIGShare's published cancellation policy. The refund is computed ENTIRELY server-side from the booking's canonical charges and how far out the cancellation is (physical: 7+ days 100% / 3-6 days 75% / 1-2 days 50% / same-day 0%, with a 25% high-value exception on >$5k multi-day rentals; Tech remote-access: before-session 100% / within first hour 75% / after 0%). The 7% renter service fee is non-refundable on renter cancellations. The client CANNOT dictate the refund amount or reason code — pass only the booking id. The security-deposit authorization hold is released (never captured). Safe on terminal state: cancelling an already-cancelled/completed/disputed booking returns an error, never a double refund. Returns the refund breakdown (refunded, retained, deposit disposition). For a METERED session prefer rigshare_end_session (settles exact usage); cancelling a metered booking with usage settles like an early end.
rigshare_extend_session
REQUIRES API KEY (sessions:write scope). MONEY PATH — raises the authorized per-minute budget on a running METERED (per-minute) Robotics & AI session, so a renter whose budget is about to exhaust can keep going. The additional authorization hold is placed and the budget raised SERVER-SIDE from the equipment's canonical per-minute rate — the client never sets the charge. Only the booking's RENTER can extend. Choose one of the fixed extension lengths: 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Only actual usage is ever charged; call rigshare_end_session when done to settle exact usage and release the unused budget. Pairs with rigshare_get_session_usage (check remaining budget first). Returns the newly authorized budget.
rigshare_get_session_usage
REQUIRES API KEY (sessions:read scope). Live budget snapshot for a METERED (per-minute) Robotics & AI booking: authorized budget vs. what's been used, accrued cost so far, a low-budget warning, and the available extension options. Read-only — moves no money. Call this before a session runs out to decide whether to rigshare_extend_session. Visible to the booking's renter or the equipment owner.
rigshare_save_draft_listing
REQUIRES API KEY (equipment:write scope). Saves a HALF-FINISHED equipment listing as a DRAFT on behalf of the authenticated OWNER — the same fields as rigshare_create_listing, but nothing goes live. Drafts are UNGATED: no identity verification and no Stripe Connect payout setup are needed to DRAFT (matching RIGShare's draft-first flow). Those gates — plus at least one photo — are required only when you PUBLISH (done on the web, or via the drafts publish endpoint). No security_ack is required to draft a remote- access listing; it's required at publish. Idempotent per draft_session_id (repeat calls with the same id update the same draft). Returns the draft id + the draft_session_id to resume it. Use this when the owner isn't verified yet or wants to finish the listing later.
