FreeCAD Robust

About

This tool provides a robust Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that seamlessly connects AI assistants, such as Claude and GPT, with FreeCAD. It empowers users to leverage AI for designing, developing, and debugging 3D models, macros, and workbenches within FreeCAD. Offering over 80 comprehensive CAD operations, it supports flexible connection modes (XML-RPC, JSON-RPC, embedded) and operates in both GUI and headless environments, making it suitable for both interactive use and automation. Additionally, the repository includes a collection of valuable standalone FreeCAD macros to enhance productivity for common tasks.

Key Features

• Enables both GUI-based modeling and headless automation for FreeCAD tasks.
• 1 GitHub stars
• Provides 82+ MCP tools for comprehensive CAD operations, including primitives, PartDesign, and booleans.
• Facilitates AI-assisted development, editing, running, and templating of FreeCAD macros.
• Supports multiple connection modes: XML-RPC (recommended), JSON-RPC socket, and embedded (Linux only).
• Includes a set of standalone FreeCAD macros for common tasks, independent of the MCP server.

Use Cases

• Leveraging AI assistants for rapid design, development, and debugging of 3D models in FreeCAD.
• Automating complex FreeCAD modeling and export tasks in CI/CD pipelines or scripting environments.
• Extending FreeCAD's functionality with pre-built or custom standalone Python macros for common operations.
