 "title": "Watch an agent build a model live in the open app",
 "page_title": "How to watch an agent build a model live in the open app with solidcraft",
 "summary": "Connect the MCP server to your running SolidCraft window so you can see each modeling step as the agent makes it.",
 "who": "Builder who wants to supervise an agent instead of trusting a headless run",
 "problem": "A headless agent gives you only a final file, so you cannot catch a bad step as it happens.",
 "outcome": "You watch the agent's commands appear in the app and can stop or correct it mid-build.",
 "steps": [
  "Open the SolidCraft desktop app.",
  "Register the server: claude mcp add solidcraft -- solidcraft-cli mcp",
  "Configure the server with the --connect option described in docs/mcp.md so it drives the running app.",
  "Give the agent a modeling task and watch the timeline fill in."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Connect to the running SolidCraft app via its MCP server as described in docs/mcp.md and build <simple part> step by step. After each step, tell me what feature you added so I can follow along.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The exact flags for connecting to the running app are in docs/mcp.md, not the main README, so read that page before setting it up.",
 "category": "Software & DevOps",
 "tags": [
  "Software & DevOps"
 ],
 "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"
