 "title": "Let an approved MCP agent revise an open CAD project",
 "page_title": "How to let an approved MCP agent revise an open CAD project with Partmode",
 "summary": "Connect Codex to PartMode so the agent works on your open project after you approve it in the browser.",
 "who": "An engineer who wants an AI coding agent to propose and commit CAD changes while staying in control of approval.",
 "problem": "Agents editing CAD through opaque scripts are hard to review, and giving an agent direct access to a model is risky.",
 "outcome": "A browser-approved agent session where the agent inspects the current state, previews a change, and commits it against the matching revision.",
 "steps": [
  "Create a revocable key from Agent access at https://partmode.com/account and store it in the secret environment for your MCP client, not in a prompt or repository file.",
  "Run `codex mcp add partmode --url https://partmode.com/mcp --bearer-token-env-var PARTMODE_AGENT_KEY`. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Start a new Codex session, read the PartMode Help resources, and call `cad_capabilities` before building a transaction.",
  "Sign in to PartMode in a browser tab and approve the project-scoped agent session when prompted.",
  "Review the detached preview in the browser, then accept or reject the commit, and revoke the key when finished."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the PartMode MCP server configured for this repository, call cad_capabilities, then inspect the open project at <project-name> and create a detached preview of the change <change-description>. Report the operations you proposed and the document revision they target, and verify that no commit happens until the person approves it in the browser.",

 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Browser-approved sessions use a relay that is not end-to-end encrypted, and the browser project itself is not stored on the relay.",
