cnc-control

cnc-control is a skill for Claude Code from brs077/CNC-design-control-MCP. It costs 45 tokens per session (410 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A control interface for operating a computer numerical control (CNC) machine, which moves tools to cut or shape material. It can move the machine, run G-code instructions, manage jobs, and control the spindle and coolant.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to home, unlock, jog, or probe a CNC machine; set work coordinates; load, start, pause, resume, or stop G-code jobs; and adjust feed, spindle, or coolant settings.
Why use it?
It puts common machine controls in one place, but actions can cause physical movement and need user confirmation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cnc-control scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

CNC Machine Control

Control the CNC machine. These tools cause physical motion — always confirm with the user before executing.

Available MCP Tools

Motion & Setup

  • send_gcode — Send raw G-code lines to the machine (HIGH RISK — causes motion)
  • home_machine — Run GRBL homing cycle ($H)
  • unlock_machine — Clear GRBL alarm lock ($X)
  • jog — Jog the machine in X/Y/Z at a specified feed rate
  • set_work_zero — Set current position as work zero for specified axes
  • set_wcs — Switch active work coordinate system (G54-G59)
  • probe_z — Run Z-axis touch probe cycle

Job Control

  • load_gcode — Load G-code content into CNCjs
  • start_job — Start executing loaded G-code
  • pause_job — Pause the running job
  • resume_job — Resume a paused job
  • stop_job — Stop and cancel the current job

Overrides

  • set_feed_override — Adjust feed rate override (percentage)
  • set_spindle_override — Adjust spindle speed override (percentage)

Actuators

  • spindle_control — Turn spindle on (CW/CCW with speed) or off
  • coolant_control — Turn flood/mist coolant on or off

Macros

  • run_macro — Execute a CNCjs macro by name or ID

Safety

  • Always confirm motion commands with the user
  • Check machine position before jogging
  • Use feed_hold or emergency_stop if something goes wrong
  • Verify work zero is set correctly before starting jobs

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cnc-control is a skill published in the GitHub repository brs077/CNC-design-control-MCP (1 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 410 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
