 "repo_slug": "tangency-labs-solidcraft",
 "title": "Let an AI agent model a part you can still edit",
 "page_title": "How to let an AI agent model a part you can still edit with solidcraft",
 "summary": "Steer an agent through the built-in MCP server and get a real parametric model, not a mesh you can't fix.",
 "who": "Maker who tried text-to-3D tools and got meshes they could not adjust",
 "problem": "Text-to-3D tools give you a frozen mesh, so a wrong hole size or wall thickness means starting over.",
 "outcome": "You get a feature-timeline model where every dimension is still editable after the agent is done.",
 "steps": [
  "Download the app for your OS from the README, or use the browser version.",
  "Register the MCP server with Claude Code: claude mcp add solidcraft -- solidcraft-cli mcp",
  "Ask the agent to model your part and describe the key dimensions.",
  "Open the result and change a dimension in Parameters to confirm it rebuilds."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the solidcraft MCP server, model <part description with dimensions> as a parametric design. Expose the key sizes as parameters and tell me which ones to change. Verify the model rebuilds when one parameter changes.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "field",
 "caveat": "The README calls SolidCraft early but usable for simple parts, so complex assemblies from an agent may need manual cleanup.",
 "category": "Content & Creative",
 "tags": [
  "Content & Creative"
 ],
 "lang": "rust",
 "requirements": [
  "Windows, macOS or Linux desktop, or just a modern web browser (no install needed)",
  "Rust toolchain only if building from source",
  "An MCP-capable agent such as Claude Code only for the agent-driven uses",
  "No paid keys or accounts"
