### Description (declared)

# CadQuery MCP Server

An [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that enables AI assistants like Claude to execute CadQuery scripts and render 3D CAD models.

## Features

- **render** - Execute CadQuery code and return SVG images of the 3D model
  - Multiple camera angles: isometric, front, back, top, bottom, left, right
  - Multi-view mode for complex models
  - Configurable image dimensions
  - Hidden line rendering

- **inspect** - Get geometry information about a shape
  - Bounding box dimensions
  - Volume and surface area
  - Center of mass
  - Topology counts (solids, faces, edges, vertices)

- **get_parameters** - Extract customizable parameters from CadQuery scripts

- **export** - Export models to various formats
  - STEP, STL, SVG, DXF, AMF, 3MF, VRML, BREP

## Installation

### Prerequisites

CadQuery must be installed first. The recommended method is via conda:

```bash
conda install -c conda-forge cadquery
```

### Install from Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/CadQuery/cadquery-contrib.git
cd cadquery-contrib/mcp-server
pip install .
```

For development (editable install):

```bash
pip install -e .
```

### Run Tests

```bash
pip install pytest
pytest test_cadquery_mcp_server.py -v
```

## Configuration

### Claude Code

Add to your `~/.claude/settings.json`:

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cadquery": {
            "command": "cadquery-mcp"
        }
    }
}
```

### Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS):

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cadquery": {
            "command": "cadquery-mcp"
        }
    }
}
```

**Note:** If using conda, you may need to specify the full path:

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cadquery": {
            "command": "/path/to/conda/envs/yourenv/bin/cadquery-mcp"
        }
    }
}
```

## Usage Examples

Once configured, you can ask Claude to create 3D models:
