Bambu Printer MCP vs Codebase Memory MCP
A side-by-side look at the Bambu Printer MCP and Codebase Memory MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Bambu Printer MCP for industrial & iot work as a local process; choose Codebase Memory MCP for knowledge & memory as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose Bambu Printer MCP when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Industrial & IoT domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- Its auth model fits you: API key required.
- You have the keys it needs:
PRINTER_HOST, BAMBU_MODEL, BAMBU_SERIAL, BAMBU_TOKEN. - You want tools like
get_printer_status, get_printer_filaments, resolve_3mf_ams_slots.
Choose Codebase Memory MCP when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Knowledge & Memory domain.

Bambu Printer MCP tools 46
get_printer_statusGet the current status of the Bambu Lab printerget_printer_filamentsGet the live AMS/external filament inventory from the printer over MQTT, including loaded/empty slot summary, resolved slicer profile paths, match confidence, and recommended load_filaments when the printer model is known.resolve_3mf_ams_slotsInspect a sliced 3MF and match its tray_info_idx filament requirements against the live AMS inventory. Does not upload or start a print.list_3mf_plate_objectsList object IDs from a sliced 3MF plate. Use these IDs with skip_objects during a running print.extend_stl_baseExtend the base of an STL file by a specified amountscale_stlScale an STL file by specified factorsrotate_stlRotate an STL file by specified angles (degrees)get_stl_infoGet detailed information about an STL file (bounding box, face count, dimensions)list_templatesList saved slicing templates from the local template registry directory.save_templateCopy a 3MF, JSON, or config file into the local template registry and register it under a template name.get_slice_settingsInspect slicer settings from a saved 3MF template or a JSON/config slicer profile without slicing anything.slice_with_templateSlice an STL or 3MF using a named template from the local registry. This is a higher-level wrapper around slice_stl for template-based workflows.- +34 more on the listing page

index_repositoryIndex a repository. full/moderate add semantics; fast omits them; cross-repo-intelligence links services. Reports coverage gaps.search_graphFind symbols via BM25 query, regex name/qn filters, or semantic_query. Rows keep qn/file/lines and in/out over CALLS/USAGE/CALL_REFERENCE/INHERITS/IMPLEMENTS.query_graphRead-only Cypher for multi-hop, aggregation, complexity, or cross-service analysis. Default: 200 visible rows with exact/lower-bound totals and truncation; continue safely with next_cursor. graph=missed is a file tree of flagged coverage gaps; absence is not proof of completeness. Use get_graph_schema(diagnostics=full) for properties.trace_pathTrace callers/callees, data flow, or cross-service paths. Defaults exclude tests and resolver evidence. Rows keep qn/hop with explicit totals, relations, and continuations.get_code_snippetRead a search_graph symbol. auto bounds source and outlines large containers; full restores up to 500 lines. Source/outline pages continue; coverage_note marks gaps.get_file_outlineDeclaration outline of one exact repository-relative file: optional exact label filter, source order, exact total/offset/limit paging; file/folder/container nodes excluded.get_graph_schemaGet node-label and edge-type counts. diagnostics=full also lists queryable properties.compare_graphsCompare two indexed snapshots: deterministic target-only additions and base-only removals of stable node/edge identities; each set capped by limit and a 512 KiB budget with exact totals and truncation reasons.get_architectureCompact counts, languages, packages, entry points. Request structure, dependencies, routes, hotspots, boundaries, layers, clusters, cycles, or file_tree; path scopes a directory.search_codeGraph-ranked text search: compact symbols, full bounded source, or file paths.list_projectsList projects with stable paging. Identity is lean; stats adds graph sizes.delete_projectDelete a project from the index- +5 more on the listing page

Frequently asked questions
Bambu Printer MCP is categorized under Industrial & IoT and uses a local stdio subprocess. Codebase Memory MCP belongs to Knowledge & Memory and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Bambu Printer MCP for industrial & iot work and Codebase Memory MCP for knowledge & memory.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Bambu Printer MCP is listed as free. Auth: api key required. Codebase Memory MCP is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add bambu-printer-mcp and deusdata-codebase-memory-mcp as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
