CAD-MCP
Natural-language AutoCAD / GstarCAD / ZWCAD control
Runs as a server Claude Code connects to. It needs its own configuration, and some servers need an API key.
Install just this one
Paste into the Claude or ChatGPT desktop app
Set up the CAD-MCP for me in this desktop app. The setup steps are at https://archaiflow.com/f/mcps/cad-mcp.json, and the project's own page is https://github.com/daobataotie/CAD-MCP. If the two disagree, follow the project's page.
It needs Python (python.org) and Git (git-scm.com). Install whichever is missing from its official site. If this app then cannot find one of them, put its full path in the settings.
Check what is already on this computer, add the server to this app's MCP settings, then tell me what is left to do and when to restart the app.Paste it into a new chat in the Claude or ChatGPT desktop app and send it. It adds the server and tells you what is left to do.
Run in your terminal — needs Node
