Calculates true cost per hour to own and operate machinery, compares repair versus replacement options, checks state and federal compliance requirements for vehicles, reviews fleet health, generates inspection checklists, decodes VINs, looks up safety recalls, and finds equipment manuals.

Example request: "Should I repair my excavator or buy a new one, and what will it really cost me per hour to operate?"

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use Torgix Free Equipment Tools to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://mcp.torgix.ai/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.

Tools:
- equipment_cost_per_hour: Calculates what a machine really costs per hour to own and operate: depreciation, cost of capital, insurance/taxes/storage, fuel, lubricants, repairs and wear parts. Same math as the Torgix calculator at torgix.ai/learn. Purchase price and hours per year are required; anything el
- repair_rebuild_or_replace: Decides whether to repair (or rebuild) a machine or replace it, by comparing cost per hour. The repair is priced by the hours it buys before the next major event. Uses the method on torgix.ai/learn/repair-rebuild-or-replace. Give the replacement either as a cost per hour or as a 
- state_compliance_requirements: Lists registration, IFTA, IRP, DOT inspection, emissions, permit and highway-use-tax requirements for a US state (or DC) plus the federal items, each with its official source link and the date it was checked. Give a GVWR (and axles, and whether it crosses state lines) to also che
- fleet_health_check: Reviews a pasted fleet list (one machine per line: make, model, year, hours; a header row and CSV or tab-separated text both work, up to 200 rows) and flags old machines, high hours, possibly underused units, missing information and duplicate unit IDs, with a fleet summary. Plain
- inspection_checklist: Returns a ready-to-use inspection checklist for a type of equipment or inspection: daily pre-use, DOT pre-trip, DOT annual, forklift, aerial and scissor lifts (ANSI A92), telehandler (ANSI/ITSDF B56.6), crane, trench, scaffold, harness, ladder, rigging, fire extinguisher, skid st
- decode_vin: Decodes a 17-character VIN with NHTSA's free vPIC database: year, make, model, body class, GVWR class, engine and more. On-road vehicles only; off-highway equipment uses serial numbers instead.
- recall_lookup: Lists the safety recalls NHTSA has issued for a vehicle's year, make and model, or for a VIN (decoded first). Shows campaign number, component, summary and remedy. It cannot say whether a recall is still open on one specific vehicle; that is checked by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or
- find_equipment_manual: Finds an operator, service or parts manual (or spec sheet) for a make and model in the Discount Equipment library and returns its title and link. Searches that library only; if it has nothing for the machine, the answer says so.
