Expert AI · for Architecture, Engineering & Construction

Building codes, answered.
Cited. Inside Claude.

Connect once and ask Claude anything about building codes, standards, sustainability and energy — grounded in the largest curated AEC knowledge base, with sources you can verify. Pay only for what you ask.

Available on Claude · powered by Anthropic

Three steps. No new app to learn.

You already have Claude. We just give it expertise it doesn't have on its own.

1

Connect once

Paste your private link into Claude → Settings → Connectors. Name it AEC. Done.

2

Ask in plain English

"AEC — concrete cover for coastal exposure." No commands, no syntax. Just ask.

3

Get cited answers

Verbatim code excerpts with sources — and Claude's reasoning on top. ₹1 per query.

What's inside the knowledge base

Curated and updated daily — the kind of authoritative depth a general AI simply doesn't have.

Global codes & standards

National Building Code of India 2016, plus IBC, Eurocode, BS and international references.

Sustainability & energy

Frontier research, energy studies, thermal & daylighting performance, high-performance glazing.

Structure & materials

Seismic design, loads, durability, material specs and detailing references.

Full B.Arch / M.Arch corpus

Semester-wise curriculum, building science and professional practice — study to site.

Why Claude does the thinking

We don't replace Claude — we make it an expert. Anthropic's frontier model reads our cited excerpts and reasons over your drawings and questions. You get the best AI available, grounded in real codes instead of guesswork.

₹1 / query

Prepaid credits. No subscription. Pay only for what you ask.

✓ No subscription ✓ Cited sources ✓ Misses are free ✓ Your data stays yours

Answers are grounded in our knowledge base and cite their sources. For a final compliance submission, always confirm against the official published code. Expert AI is a research assistant, not a substitute for a licensed professional's sign-off.

Ask the AEC Knowledge Base

Plug 10,000+ curated AEC documents — NBC 2016, IS codes, Eurocode, frontier research and the full B.Arch / M.Arch curriculum — straight into your own Claude or ChatGPT. Add the connector once, then just ask.

Add the connector in Claude

Works in Claude Desktop and Claude on the web (Pro / Team / Enterprise). Takes about a minute.

Get your connector link

After purchase you receive a private URL that carries your prepaid key. It looks like this:

https://expert-ai-gateway.arthouse.workers.dev/mcp?k=YOUR-KEY

Keep it private — the link is your key.

Open connector settings

In Claude go to Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.

Paste & save

Paste your /mcp?k=… URL as the connector URL and save. Claude fetches the tools automatically.

Just ask

Start any message with “aec …” or ask any building-code / standards / sustainability question — Claude calls the aec tool, retrieves verbatim source excerpts, and answers with citations.

i
Renamed or added a tool? Toggle the connector off and on once so Claude re-fetches the tool list. A “no matching documents” miss never costs a credit.

Add the connector in ChatGPT

Custom MCP connectors are available on ChatGPT Pro, Business, Enterprise & Edu. Enable them, then add the same URL.

Turn on connectors

Open Settings → Connectors (Business/Enterprise: an admin enables custom connectors first). Pro users enable it under connector settings.

Add a custom connector

Choose Add / Create connector and select the MCP option.

Paste your MCP URL

Use the same private link — name it “AEC Knowledge Base”:

https://expert-ai-gateway.arthouse.workers.dev/mcp?k=YOUR-KEY

Use it in chat

Enable the AEC connector for the conversation (or in Deep Research), then ask your code / research question the same way — mention aec to nudge it.

i
Same key, both apps. One prepaid balance powers Claude and ChatGPT. The connector only retrieves sources — your own model does the writing.

How to prompt for great answers

The knowledge base searches the documents' own words — think Ctrl+F across every code book at once. Phrase questions the way the source would, and they land.

The one rule: use the code's language. “coastal” finds nothing in a chapter that says “very severe exposure.”

1 · Ask like a heading, not a sentence

✗ can you tell me how buildings stay cool in hot places?
✓ passive cooling strategies hot-dry climate courtyard ventilation

2 · Name the code, use its vocabulary

✗ what's the rule for stair width?
✓ NBC 2016 minimum staircase width residential buildings
You'd say on siteThe code says
exit / escape routemeans of escape, travel distance
coastal / near the seasevere / very severe exposure
concrete covernominal cover to reinforcement
FSI / FARfloor area ratio
setbackopen spaces
fireproof ratingfire resistance
earthquake designseismic, zone factor

3 · Know a clause or table? Say it

The strongest query there is — it lands on the exact spot: NBC 2016 Table 16 nominal cover durability. And one question at a time — each question searches once, so ask three things as three questions.

Got a partial answer that says “as given in Table 16”? Just chase it: “NBC 2016 Table 16 values for each exposure class.”

Copy-ready query patterns

Tap any chip to copy it, paste into Claude or ChatGPT (with the connector on).

Build your own query

Pick a code and drop in your topic keywords — it assembles a source-shaped query.
