A side-by-side look at the Bitbybit CAD MCP and FreeCAD MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Bitbybit CAD MCP for architecture & design work as a local process; choose FreeCAD MCP for architecture & design. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
