About build123d MCP

build123d-mcp is not a standalone chatbot or CAD program. It is a CAD toolbox that an AI/LLM app can use through MCP. With an LLM app such as Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Continue, Cline, or Codex CLI, build123d-mcp lets the assistant create build123d CAD models, render previews, measure geometry, fix mistakes, and export files such as STEP, STL, SVG, and DXF. Instead of writing a whole CAD script blindly, the assistant can build a part in small steps and check the result as it goes.
