### Description (declared)

# Printable

**MCP server for AI-driven 3D modeling, optimized for FDM-printable geometry.**

Connect any MCP-capable agent (Claude Code, Goose, Cursor, Codex, Cline, etc.) to a 3D modeling backend and get tools tuned for the design loop that actually produces parts you can print.

## Why this exists

LLMs are good at writing geometry code but bad at the things that make a part actually printable: clearances on moving joints, overhangs, bridging, units, watertight meshes. Printable encodes those constraints into both the tool surface (typed booleans, printability checks, clearance sweeps, cross-sections) and the prose rules the agent reads (cardinal print-path rule, FDM clearance values, mechanism patterns).

The result: you can ask any MCP-aware agent "build me a hinge with 5mm barrel and 20×15mm flanges" and get a part that comes off the bed working.

## Backends

- **Blender** (`blender_*` tools, 25 of them). Full design loop with rendering, cross-sections, printability validation. Requires Blender 3.6+ installed and the included addon enabled.
- **OpenSCAD** (`scad_*` tools, 5 of them, see [`docs/openscad/README.md`](docs/openscad/README.md)). Code-first parametric backend. No app, no addon — shells out to the `openscad` CLI and uses [`trimesh`](https://github.com/mikedh/trimesh) for mesh validation. Requires OpenSCAD installed.

Cross-backend handoff happens via STL — both backends import and export it.

## Architecture

```
Agent  <--stdio/MCP-->  server.py  <--TCP :9876-->  Blender addon
                              \
                               +----shell-out------>  openscad CLI + trimesh
```

- `server.py` — FastMCP server. Exposes the tool surface and embeds the always-on rules in the MCP `instructions` field, with pointers into `docs/` for deeper guidance.
- `addon/` — Blender addon. TCP server on `127.0.0.1:9876`. Commands run on Blender's main thread via `bpy.app.timers`.
- `docs/` — agent-agnostic prose guidance: print-in-place rules, design loop…
