What this MCP does

Provides reference information on frontier technologies, sensors, companies, file formats, format conversion, and related design jobs.

Capabilities

Tools

7 tools
compare_formats
Compare two file formats (by slug, extension, or filename) — extensions, category, and a verdict on when to choose each. Use for 'X vs Y' / 'difference between X and Y'.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['a', 'b'], 'properties': {'a': {'type': 'string'}, 'b': {'type': 'string'}}}
convert_file
Find the in-browser converter (if any) that turns one format into another, e.g. from='fbx' to='glb'. Returns the tool URL and notes, all client-side (files never upload). Use for 'how do I convert X to Y'.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['from', 'to'], 'properties': {'to': {'type': 'string'}, 'from': {'type': 'string'}}}
get_company
Profile of a frontier company: what they build, why it matters for frontier design, competitors and technologies from the knowledge graph.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['slug'], 'properties': {'slug': {'type': 'string'}}}
get_definition
Get the definition and reference copy for a dictionary term, technology, sensor, or file format by slug (use `search` to find slugs).
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['family', 'slug'], 'properties': {'slug': {'type': 'string'}, 'family': {'enum': ['dictionary', 'technology', 'sensor', 'format', 'standard'], 'type': 'string'}}}
identify_format
Identify a file format from an extension, filename, or slug (e.g. 'step', 'scan.mcap', 'gltf') and get how to open or convert it: what it stores, its extensions/MIME/spec, whether a free in-browser viewer exists, and available client-side conversions. Use for 'what is this file' / 'how do I open X'.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['file'], 'properties': {'file': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'An extension, filename, or format slug'}}}
list_design_jobs
Latest design/UX/HMI roles at frontier companies (defense, robotics, space, industrial, health), refreshed from company job boards.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'limit': {'type': 'number'}, 'industry': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Industry slug (e.g. defense, robotics) — omit for all'}}}
search
Full-text search across Falcon's frontier design reference: terms, technologies, file formats, sensors, companies, tools, standards.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['query'], 'properties': {'query': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Search query'}}}
