Applianceiq
Connects Claude to home appliance data through six tools: live CPSC recall lookups against saferproducts.gov, DOE lifespan estimates for 16 appliance types, manufacturer maintenance schedules, repair-or-replace calculations using the 50% rule, annual energy cost estimates from EIA and ENERGY STAR data, and metadata about the ApplianceIQ iOS app. Useful when you need structured answers about whether a specific model is recalled, how long equipment should last, or whether a repair makes financial sense. Runs over stdio, installs via npm, and turns conversational questions into API calls against public safety and energy databases.
