FreeCADBLOCK

Overview

The FreeCAD MCP (Model Control Protocol) provides a simplified interface for interacting with FreeCAD through a server-client architecture. This allows users to execute commands and retrieve information about the current FreeCAD document and scene.

Configuration

To configure the MCP server, you can use a JSON format to specify the server settings. Below is an example configuration:

{
"mcpServers": {
"freecad": {
"command": "C:\\ProgramData\\anaconda3\\python.exe",
"args": [
"C:\\Users\\USER\\AppData\\Roaming\\FreeCAD\\Mod\\freecad_mcp\\src\\freecad_bridge.py"
]
}
}
}

Configuration Details

• command: The path to the Python executable that will run the FreeCAD MCP server. This can vary based on your operating system:
• Windows: Typically, it might look like C:\\ProgramData\\anaconda3\\python.exe or C:\\Python39\\python.exe.
• Linux: It could be /usr/bin/python3 or the path to your Python installation.
• macOS: Usually, it would be /usr/local/bin/python3 or the path to your Python installation.

• args: An array of arguments to pass to the Python command. The first argument should be the path to the freecad_bridge.py script, which is responsible for handling the MCP server logic. Make sure to adjust the path according to your installation.
