FreeCAD MCP Overview
The FreeCAD MCP MCP server connects an AI agent to a running FreeCAD installation through the AICopilot workbench and a local socket bridge. It exposes more than 30 tools for parametric design, PartDesign, sketches, meshes, measurements, Boolean and transform operations, diagnostics, exports, and CAM workflows. Reach for it when an agent needs to inspect or modify FreeCAD documents, investigate modeling errors, iterate on parts, or prepare models for printing or CNC work. Most tools support FreeCAD 1.1.x, while CAM requires a current weekly development build because of Path API changes.
Primary Use Cases for FreeCAD MCP:
- Design parametric parts from dimensions and constraints
- Diagnose FreeCAD modeling errors and broken references
- Inspect and modify imported mesh models
- Generate CNC toolpaths and manufacturing exports
