ARCAT MCP API key. Discovery (initialize, tools/list) is open and needs no key; tool execution requires one. Request a key from [email protected].
Requests go through mcptry because browsers can't call most MCP servers directly. Header values are sent to the server for that request only and are never stored or logged.

Browse CSI MasterFormat building product categories. No parameters: list all divisions (e.g., "07 - Thermal and Moisture Protection"). Division only: list all entries under that division. Division + level: filter by hierarchy depth: Level 1 = Groups (e.g., 07 10 00 Dampproofing and Waterproofing) Level 2 = Sections (e.g., 07 21 00 Thermal Insulation) Level 3 = Narrowscope (e.g., 07 21 13 Board Insulation) Add section to drill into a specific parent (e.g., division "07", level 2, section "072000").
Hierarchy depth within division: 1=group, 2=section, 3=narrowscope
Parent section code to filter within (e.g., "072000" to see sections under Thermal Protection)
CSI division code (e.g., "07"). Omit to list all divisions.
