### Description (declared)

# nxopen-mcp

**English** | [繁體中文](README.zh-TW.md)

MCP server that gives AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor)
accurate knowledge of the Siemens NXOpen .NET API — eliminating
hallucinated API calls via hybrid retrieval over your own NX installation's
official documentation.

## Why

LLMs hallucinate NXOpen APIs: it's a niche domain (Siemens NX CAM/CAD
automation) with sparse public training data, so models confidently invent
classes, methods, and parameters that don't exist. This server grounds
agents in the real docs instead of guesses:

- **Semantic search** (BGE-M3 dense + sparse embeddings) so natural-language
  queries in English or 中文 find the right API even without exact names.
- **Exact-name channel**: a literal CamelCase name in your query (e.g.
  `CavityMillingBuilder`) is looked up directly and pinned to the top
  (types first) — never left to approximate matching.
- **RRF fusion** available to combine channels — though evaluation made
  dense + exact the default (see [Evaluation](#evaluation)).

Everything runs locally and offline against an index built from your own
licensed NX installation — no Siemens files are ever bundled with this
repo or sent anywhere.

## Quick start

Requires **Python 3.11+**.

```bash
# 1. Install from PyPI (or run without installing: uvx nxopen-mcp)
pip install "nxopen-mcp[embed,reflect]"

# 2. Build the index from YOUR NX installation (one-time — see time note below)
nxopen-mcp index --nx-path "D:\Siemens\NX12.0"

# 3. Register with Claude Code (user scope: available in every project)
claude mcp add -s user nxopen -- nxopen-mcp serve

# 4. Ask Claude Code to write NXOpen code — it now queries real APIs.
```

`index` looks for `NXOpen*.xml` doc files under `<nx-path>\UGII\managed`
(falling back to `<nx-path>` itself), and for `NXOpen*.dll` assemblies in
the same folder.

Extras: `[embed]` pulls in `FlagEmbedding` (downloads the ~2GB BGE-M3
model on first use) — required for indexing and semantic search.
`[reflect]` …
