MCPUsing MCP

Using MCP

After setup, this is the recommended way to work with CADBuildr MCP in any code client.

Typical workflow

  1. Start a new project folder.
  2. Connect the cadbuildr MCP server in your client.
  3. Ask the assistant for a first part with explicit constraints (dimensions, units, intent).
  4. Iterate in small steps (base geometry, then features, then details).
  5. Validate and export using available MCP tools.

Prompting tips

  • Provide constraints first: dimensions, references, expected behavior.
  • Ask for one change at a time to keep geometry edits predictable.
  • Request a short explanation of each modeling choice when learning.

Good first prompt

Create a parametric mounting bracket in Python with width=60, height=40, thickness=5,
two M4 holes centered 10 mm from left/right edges, and rounded outer corners (R3).
