From a pile of lab PDFs to an app Claude can run.
All Island Testing has tested New York's concrete since 1979, and every mix design, trial batch and cylinder break lived in PDFs. We built Mix Search from scratch: AI reads the reports and files everything, the app flags bad data, tracks expirations and writes the reports and invoices, and it's wired into the lab's own Claude so the team can run it all in plain English.

Claude, connected
They ask. Claude does the work.
We built a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server into Mix Search, so the lab's own Claude can search, create, update and file anything the app can. No new screens to learn: the team describes what they need, and Claude calls the right tools and reports back.
- Search and filter mixes, trials and breaks
- File a new lab PDF from a chat
- Recommend mixes for a project
- Create and fix suppliers, materials and readings

Find a 5,000 psi pump mix with slag that hasn’t expired and recommend it for the Atlantic Yards job.

- Done. HRM-5000-SL from Hudson Ready Mix is now recommended for Atlantic Yards. Its latest trial broke at 6,150 psi at 28 days, 23% over its rating. Heads up: that trial expires in 25 days.
AI ingestion
Drop in a PDF. Get a database.
A lab's trial-batch report goes in; suppliers, projects, mixes, ingredients and every cylinder break come out, filed and linked. One AI reads the report, a second checks the reading against the page, and anything it isn't sure of goes back for another pass.

AI extracts the supplier, project, mixes, ingredients and every break from the PDF.

A second AI reviews the result against the report and sends doubtful readings back.

Fuzzy matching ties names to existing suppliers, materials and projects, so nothing is filed twice.

Search, sort, filter
Any mix, in seconds.
Search by code, type, notes or lab report number, then narrow by strength rating, water-cement ratio, the ingredients a mix contains and how much, supplier or expiration. Sort any column and page through every recipe on file.

Tracking
Nothing expires by surprise.
Every trial is good for a year. The home screen leads with what's expiring and what already has, grouped by supplier, and every mix shows its latest 28-day break against the strength it's rated for.

Data checks
Bad numbers get caught.
Mix Search re-does the math on every record: averages that don't match their cylinders, strength that drops with age, truncated or copied breaks, impossible dates. Each issue links to the mix and trial so it's fixed before it lands in a submittal.
Reports and invoices
The paperwork writes itself.
Pick the trials and criteria and Mix Search produces a lab report on the letterhead, linked back to the recommendation it supports. Invoices come out the same way: line items, card fees and payment terms, with a live preview and a saved PDF.

Under the hood
A full-stack build, end to end.
React web app
A fast, keyboard-friendly interface in light and dark, tested end to end in real browsers on desktop and phone before every release.
Python API and Postgres
A typed API over a relational database, with migrations, structured errors and safe deletes that explain what still depends on a record.
Two AI integrations
One model reads and double-checks lab PDFs; Claude drives the whole app through a secured MCP endpoint.
Locked down
Invite-only sign-in, roles, API keys and an audit log of every change, with the AI endpoint behind its own token.
Files and history
Original PDFs stored with their trials, a logo library for invoices, and the full history of every mix.
Shipped continuously
Every change runs the test suites and deploys automatically, so new features reach the lab the day they're done.
