inventor-modeling

inventor-modeling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NeonGlay/inventor-mcp. It costs 184 tokens per session (5,811 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for building and inspecting parametric 3D parts in Autodesk Inventor 2026, a computer-aided design program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for parts such as flanges, shafts, nuts, and brackets, including operations like extrusions, holes, revolves, fillets, chamfers, patterns, saving, and exporting.
Why use it?
It provides the prescribed way to create or change Inventor models through the project's connected tools.

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

inventor-modeling 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 10d 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.

Autodesk Inventor 2026 — Parametric Modeling via MCP

When this skill applies

Any task involving the inventor-mcp server: mcp__inventor__connect, create_part, extrude, revolve, hole, chamfer, fillet, circular_pattern, etc. Also any direct Python work against src/inventor_api.py in the inventor-mcp project root\.

Keep explanations concrete; the result that matters is the model in Inventor, not the code.

Token-efficient workflow (USE THESE FIRST)

The MCP server has power tools that replace ad-hoc console scripts:

  • execute_python(code) — runs Python against live inv/app/doc/comp/body/tg objects with a persistent namespace and auto-connect. Use this instead of python -c "..." console scripts with 10 lines of import boilerplate.
  • reload_api() — hot-reloads inventor_api.py after editing it. No Claude Code restart needed (new TOOL schemas still need a restart; new wrapper METHODS don't — call them via execute_python).
  • inspect() — one-call part snapshot (features, volume, bbox, sketches).
  • list_edges(min_length=...) / list_faces(min_area=...) — compact topology tables; no more hand-written vertex-iteration loops.
  • transaction("begin"/"commit"/"abort") — wrap risky multi-step builds; abort rolls back everything in one call (no manual feature deletion).

Feature tools (extrude, hole, flange, ...) return an auto-report suffix like | V 23497 (-503 mm³) | F7 E14 — separate volume-check calls are unnecessary.

Core mental model

Notes
Units API takes millimeters; Inventor stores internally in cm (the wrapper handles ÷10 automatically)
Coordinates XY is the default sketch plane. Z = "up"/axial in most templates
Workflow connect → create_part → create_sketch → draw_* → extrude/revolve → hole → fillet/chamfer → save
Feature indices 1-based, in creation order (list_features() to see them)
Edge indices 1-based, in Inventor's internal order — change after every feature that adds/removes edges

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.

inventor-modeling is a skill published in the GitHub repository NeonGlay/inventor-mcp (23 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 184 tokens to every session and 5,811 once invoked, about $0.0009 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 2026-08-30.
