faq frequently asked
What does the Heat Transfer Calculator API do?+

Calculate heat transfer by conduction, convection, or radiation. Use it to add this utility without rebuilding formulas, validation, examples, and documentation.

How much does one call to Heat Transfer Calculator cost?+

1 credit per successful call. Failed calls (validation errors, 5xx) don't bill.

What parameters does the Heat Transfer Calculator API require?+

Required fields: (none). Full schema at /v1/openapi.json.

Is the Heat Transfer Calculator API deterministic?+

Yes — same input, same output, forever. Tool version 2026-04-22; output shape is stable within a major version.

Can an AI agent call the Heat Transfer Calculator API?+

Yes. Connect to https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp over the Model Context Protocol. The agent discovers `heat-transfer-calculator` with its JSON Schema automatically, so the model can plan while MiniWebtool handles the exact tool result.

What format does the API return?+

JSON with a stable envelope: `{request_id, tool, tool_version, credits_used, result}`. Errors are RFC 7807 `application/problem+json`.

mcp use from an AI agent

Every endpoint on this site is also exposed via the Model Context Protocol at https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp. Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-capable agent can discover this tool (heat-transfer-calculator) and its JSON Schema automatically — no client codegen.

# List tools the agent can call
