Thin-lens equation solver for image distance, focal length, or object distance with magnification and image properties. Use it to add this utility without rebuilding formulas, validation, examples, and documentation.
1 credit per successful call. Failed calls (validation errors, 5xx) don't bill.
Required fields: (none). Full schema at /v1/openapi.json.
Yes — same input, same output, forever. Tool version 2026-04-22; output shape is stable within a major version.
Yes. Connect to https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp over the Model Context Protocol. The agent discovers `lens-equation-calculator` with its JSON Schema automatically, so the model can plan while MiniWebtool handles the exact tool result.
JSON with a stable envelope: `{request_id, tool, tool_version, credits_used, result}`. Errors are RFC 7807 `application/problem+json`.
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
(lens-equation-calculator)
and its JSON Schema automatically — no client codegen.
