A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for SolidWorks automation (in python)

Agent
Use when creating or refining custom skills/services for SolidWorks MCP tool selection, building orchestration guidance for LLMs, updating delegation rules between specialist agents, and generating or correcting how-to docs and demos for SolidworksMCP-python using sample SOLIDWORKS models.

Agent
Use when reverse-engineering SolidWorks sample parts or user-supplied parts: inspect the real feature tree first, classify the part family, map parent-child feature dependencies, and then generate a step-by-step MCP or VBA reconstruction plan. Best for Paper Airplane, Baseball Bat, U-Joint, Mouse, and other…

Use when designing 3D-printable parts and assemblies with SolidWorks MCP workflows, validating tolerances and clearances, selecting joints/features for printability, checking print-bed/build-volume fit, and evaluating print orientation/material tradeoffs.

Agent
Use when quickly validating external facts for SolidWorks + 3D printing workflows, including material properties, tolerance/clearance ranges, printer build-volume specs, and purchasing options (McMaster-Carr vs commodity alternatives).

This is a reference guide showing exactly how to invoke agents with full logging, including copy-paste command templates.

This documents a simple local SQLite strategy to help agents avoid repeated failures and recover from broken design states.

This page outlines practical UI options for visually guiding users through agent decisions like hinge selection, sourcing, and printability checks.

This guide is written for people who know SolidWorks well but are new to LLM agents and AI-assisted workflows.

You know SolidWorks. You know the click path for a boss extrude, you know what a fully-defined sketch looks like, and you have a feel for which features will cause a rebuild error before you even run it.

This page documents hard-won lessons from debugging the SolidWorks COM bridge. If you are an AI coding assistant (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Copilot, etc.) working on this codebase, read this page before touching any COM-related code. Every entry below caused a real runtime failure that required hours to diagnose.

This page defines how the orchestration agent should shortlist tools by feature family, so the LLM does not reason over the full tool surface at every step.

This guide explains how to enable, configure, and use the logging infrastructure for SolidWorks MCP tool execution and multi-turn conversational design workflows.

You know SolidWorks. This guide shows you how to describe what you want to build in plain language, let an LLM translate that into the right tool calls, and have SolidWorks build it — without clicking through menus.

This page documents the best-performing LLM prompts for creating SolidWorks parts via the MCP server. Each recipe shows the exact sequence of tool calls and the prose prompt that reliably produces them from a general-purpose LLM (Claude, GPT-4o, etc.).

This tutorial shows how to take a screenshot or rendered image of a part — including the sample parts that ship with SolidWorks — and use prompting to recreate it from scratch using the MCP server.

This guide describes the SolidWorks 2026 learn samples shipped with SolidWorks and explains which MCP tools and prompting strategies best recreate each part from scratch. Reference files live at.
