 "title": "Have an AI agent model a part through SolidCraft MCP",
 "page_title": "How to have an AI agent model a part through SolidCraft MCP with Solidcraft",
 "summary": "Connect Claude Code to the SolidCraft MCP server so an agent builds and edits a parametric design.",
 "who": "A mechanical designer or hobbyist who already has a written part spec and wants an AI agent to draft the model.",
 "problem": "Modelling every feature and dimension by hand is slow when the spec is already written down.",
 "outcome": "A parametric design the agent built through MCP, which you can open, inspect and change in SolidCraft.",
 "steps": [
  "Build SolidCraft from source with Rust, or install a desktop build from the downloads page.",
  "Run `cargo run --release -p solidcraft-cli -- commands` to list the command registry the agent can call.",
  "Register the server with `claude mcp add solidcraft -- solidcraft-cli mcp`.",
  "To watch the agent work in the running app, start the server with `solidcraft-cli mcp --connect`. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Ask Claude Code for the part, then check the feature timeline and Parameters in the app."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the SolidCraft MCP server from the tangency-labs/solidcraft repo, model <part description> as a parametric design with named dimensions. Expected output: a design with a feature timeline and a list of parameters. Verify by changing one parameter and confirming the model rebuilds.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "60 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README gives the --connect flag only in prose, so check the exact syntax in docs/mcp.md before relying on it.",
 "category": "Work and operations",
 "tags": [
  "Work and operations"
 ],
 "lang": "rust",
 "requirements": [
  "Windows, macOS or Linux desktop, or a web browser for the browser app",
  "Rust toolchain and the repo cloned from github.com/tangency-labs/solidcraft for the cargo commands",
  "Claude Code installed for the MCP registration step"
