Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Freecad MCP MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. 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.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
The server publishes 3 tools. What each one is for:
Windows — The Windows tool exposed by this serverLinux — The Linux tool exposed by this servermacOS — The macOS tool exposed by this serverPlenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Freecad MCP's toolset — Windows, Linux, macOS — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by bonninr; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
