MCP server
Ask your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, ...) about EVE industry in plain words. Connected to this site through MCP, it uses our calculator and answers with real numbers: build costs, the cheapest system near Jita, which rigs to fit, invention and BPO payback, prices in every region, and, if you sign in, how your own industry jobs are doing. Free, nothing to install.

Industry calculator, no login
What your AI can do
- Calculate any build: materials, job cost, time, shopping list, profit
- Find the cheapest system around Jita for your build
- Pick the best rigs for your structure
- Invention, research and BPO payback
- Market prices, order books and price history in every region
- Profitable builds and hauling trades
Good for
Planning builds and answering industry questions. It only sees public game data and prices.
With your account
Everything in Public, plus your industry jobs
Also lets your AI
- Count your running, ready and paused jobs, per activity and location
- Show progress and finish times, the next jobs to finish, and when all are done
- Show used and free job slots per character
- Read your characters' skills and tell which of them can build or invent a blueprint
- Cover every character you linked here, and the corporation jobs they installed
What it needs

What you can ask
What does it cost to build 100 Hobgoblin II from an invented copy (ME 2, TE 4%) in a Raitaru in Perimeter with a Drone and Fighter ME I rig?
| Materials | 19.21M |
| Job installation | 1.22M |
| Total | 20.43M (204k each) |
| Jita sell | 306.7k each |
| Profit | 102k each, 33% |
One job of 100 runs takes 1d 10:00 without skills. Biggest buys: Guidance Systems 7.8M, Robotics 7.8M, Morphite 1.7M; 1,304 m³ to haul. Plus a link that opens this calculation on evecookbook.com.
Which system near Jita is cheapest for 2,200 Large Shield Extender II in my Raitaru with Equipment ME II, Advanced Component ME II and Equipment TE II?
| System | Security | Jumps | Index | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kedama | low 0.3 | 5 | 0.14% | 1.05B |
| Oiniken | high 0.7 | 4 | 0.14% | 1.08B |
| Jita | high 0.9 | 0 | 16.7% | 1.27B |
Kedama saves 217M ISK over Jita: a minimum index, and low sec boosts rig bonuses ×1.9. Oiniken is the best if you'd rather stay in high sec.
Which rigs should my Azbel in Tama fit for 10 Ishtars, with reactions in a Tatara?
| Fit | Saves per build | Rigs cost |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced Medium Ship I, Advanced Component I, Basic Medium Ship I + Reactor I | 79.0M (6.5%) | 10.1B |
| The same in T2 | 105.1M (8.6%) | 96.9B |
The T1 fit pays for itself after about 128 such builds, the T2 fit after about 920. Go T1 unless you build a lot more.
What is the cheapest way to invent Ishtar blueprints?
| Decryptor | Chance | Runs | ME | Per Ishtar |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Augmentation | 22.8% | 10 | 0 | 738k |
| Parity | 56.9% | 4 | 3 | 843k |
| Attainment | 68.3% | 5 | 1 | 846k |
Augmentation is cheapest per Ishtar, but its copies are ME 0. With all skills at V. Want me to compare the build at ME 0 and ME 3?
Is a Vexor BPO worth buying? I have 3 manufacturing slots.
| Investment | 107.3M (BPO 90.0M + research to ME 10 / TE 20%) |
| Profit | 219k per Vexor after tax and fees (1.9%) |
| Sales | 16.5 a day (10% of Jita volume; 3 slots could build 39.7) |
| Payback | about 105 days, research included |
It pays back, but slowly: about 108M a month, and with a 1.9% margin a small price drop wipes the profit out.
Which modules are profitable to build right now, with real buy orders?
| Module | Build cost | Jita sell | Margin | Buy orders |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entropic Radiation Sink II | 606k | 2.40M | 75% | 1,350 units |
| Medium Energy Locus Coordinator II | 482k | 3.01M | 84% | 1,897 units |
| Medium Vorton Projector II | 19.4M | 195M | 90% | 20 units |
These leave out invention and taxes; pick one and I'll run the full calculation with your setup.
Where are Large Shield Extender II cheapest, and how many sell in Amarr's region?
| Region | Lowest sell | Units | At |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metropolis | 725.4k | 1,594 | Hek 8-12 |
| Derelik | 799.0k | 440 | Faspera |
| The Forge | 799.9k | 17,189 | Akora |
Hek is about 9% under The Forge. Domain trades about 412 a day at 1.02M on average over 30 days, against 3,892 a day at 895k in The Forge.
What can I haul from Jita 4-4 to Amarr VIII for a profit right now?
| Item | Units | Investment | Profit | Cargo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy Water | 10.8M | 1.08B | 102.7M (9.5%) | 4.33M m³ |
| Photonic Metamaterials | 137,322 | 1.34B | 61.7M (4.6%) | 137k m³ |
| Terahertz Metamaterials | 60,404 | 800M | 40.9M (5.1%) | 60k m³ |
After 3.375% sales tax, filling Amarr's buy orders from the top and only as many units as they still want. 34 jumps through high sec; Heavy Water takes 73 trips in a 60,000 m³ hauler, the metamaterials 2 or 3.
How are my industry jobs doing, and when is everything done?
| Jobs | 14 over 3 characters: 11 running, 2 ready to deliver, 1 paused |
| Next to finish | 10× Large Shield Extender II at Jita 4-4, in 2h 30m |
| All done | in 2d 07h (3 Oct, 21:28 UTC) |
| Free slots | Pilot One: 3 manufacturing · Pilot Two: 1 science |
Deliver the 2 ready jobs to free their slots. Want the list per location?
Example with made-up characters.
Which of my characters can build and invent Loki blueprints, and what are the others missing?
| Character | Build | Invent | Missing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pilot One | yes | yes | — |
| Pilot Two | yes | no | Sleeper Encryption Methods I |
| Pilot Three | no | yes | Minmatar Starship Engineering V (has III) |
Building a Loki needs Industry V, Advanced Medium Ship Construction V, Minmatar Starship Engineering V and Mechanical Engineering IV; inventing it Sleeper Encryption Methods, Plasma Physics and Mechanical Engineering I. A quick skill gives Pilot Two invention too.
