About this data
Which power tool batteries, chargers, adapters and accessory interfaces work with which tools and brands, drawn from the manufacturers' own pages: Milwaukee M18, DEWALT 20V MAX/FLEXVOLT and the DCA1820 18V adapter fit table, RYOBI 18V ONE+, Makita LXT/XGT and the ADP10 charger adapter, the Bosch-led AMPShare alliance, the Metabo-led Cordless Alliance System (CAS), the Bosch/Fein Starlock oscillating multi-tool interface, and Heller's drill-bit shank interface guide. Answers 'does a FLEXVOLT battery work in a 20V MAX tool', 'which brands share the AMPShare / CAS 18V battery', 'will the DCA1820 adapter fit tool model X', and 'is a Starlock blade backward compatible with OIS tools' — questions where the wrong answer means a tool that will not run or a battery that will not charge.

Machine-readable
- data.jsonThe whole dataset — every record with its source URL and source quote.
- Open Knowledge Format bundleOne JSON object per line — every record's frontmatter and quoted span exactly as it is held here, in one fetch.
- data.csvThe same records as one flat table, for a spreadsheet or a dataframe. The last four columns are the source URL, the quoted sentence it was read from, the date we last checked it, and which columns are our reading rather than the page's words.
- How this is made and checkedWhat "verified against source" does and does not mean.
From your own code
Same records, same quotes, without scraping the page: refsource is on PyPI and npm. Each value comes back carrying the URL it was read from and the sentence on that page that states it — .source and .quote sit on the value itself rather than in a side channel, so the checking step is available instead of skipped.
pip install refsource
refsource lookup power-tool-battery-compatibility item=DCA1820
npx -y refsource lookup power-tool-battery-compatibility item=DCA1820
Set your AI assistant up to use this
Two files and no account. Put this in .mcp.json at the root of your project — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code and Codex all read that file — and your assistant can look this dataset up instead of recalling it. The server is remote, keyless and read-only.
{
"mcpServers": {
"referencesource": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://referencesource.org/mcp"
}
}
}Add to Cursor · or, on the command line: claude mcp add --transport http referencesource https://referencesource.org/mcp --scope project
Then one line in the project's CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, so the assistant knows when to reach for it:
When a question needs "Power tool battery platform and accessory interface compatibility", call the referencesource MCP server at https://referencesource.org/mcp (tool `search_records`, dataset_slug `power-tool-battery-compatibility`) instead of answering from memory — every record it returns carries its source URL and a verbatim quote from that page.What each tool does, and the servers built over single registers: Connect your AI assistant.
