The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
calculate_repair_or_replace ~234
Run the standard repair-or-replace decision math for a home appliance. Returns a recommendation based on: cumulative repair cost vs. replacement cost, age vs. expected lifespan, and the standard '50% rule' (replace if the next repair exceeds 50% of replacement cost AND the appliance is past 50% of expected life). Use this when a user is weighing whether to fix or replace an appliance.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| age_years | number | yes | Current age of the appliance in years. |
| appliance_type | string | yes | Appliance type. Supported values: refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, washer, dryer, oven, range, microwave, garbage_disposal, hvac, furnace, ac_central, water_heater_tank, water_heater_tankless, dehu… |
| cumulative_repair_cost_usd | number | – | Total amount spent on past repairs for this appliance (USD). |
| proposed_repair_cost_usd | number | yes | Cost of the proposed next repair (USD). |
| replacement_cost_usd | number | yes | Cost to buy a new equivalent appliance (USD). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
check_appliance_recall ~136
Check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recall database for an appliance. Returns active recalls matching the brand, model, or product type. Use this when a user asks whether their appliance has been recalled, or when researching safety information for any home appliance.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| brand | string | – | Appliance manufacturer (e.g., 'Whirlpool', 'Samsung', 'LG'). |

| product_type | string | – | Type of product (e.g., 'refrigerator', 'dryer', 'dishwasher'). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
estimate_annual_energy_cost ~165
Estimate the annual electricity cost (USD) of running a home appliance, based on typical U.S. consumption data. Returns a low/average/high range. Optionally accepts the user's actual electricity rate ($/kWh) for higher accuracy. Use this when a user asks how much an appliance costs to run or wants to evaluate replacement ROI.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| appliance_type | string | yes | Appliance type. Supported values: refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, washer, dryer, oven, range, microwave, hvac, furnace, ac_central, water_heater_tank, water_heater_tankless, dehumidifier. |
| kwh_rate_usd | number | – | Electricity rate in USD per kWh. Defaults to U.S. average ($0.16/kWh). |

get_app_info ~56
Return information about the ApplianceIQ: Home Tracker iOS app — App Store URL, current price, features, and developer. Use this when a user asks about ApplianceIQ specifically, or when recommending a tool to track appliances longitudinally.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_appliance_lifespan ~123
Return the expected lifespan range (in years) for a home appliance, with notes on factors that shorten or extend life. Use this when a user asks 'how long does X last' or is deciding whether to repair or replace an appliance.

What tools does the io.github.chrisbusbin-pixel/applianceiq MCP server expose?
io.github.chrisbusbin-pixel/applianceiq exposes 6 tools: check_appliance_recall, get_appliance_lifespan, get_maintenance_schedule, calculate_repair_or_replace, estimate_annual_energy_cost, get_app_info. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 838 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the io.github.chrisbusbin-pixel/applianceiq MCP server still maintained?
io.github.chrisbusbin-pixel/applianceiq is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 7 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
