Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

MCP server for SurfCAD: Fully featured script CAD built on Manifold, with helpers for AI agents

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "surfcad": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "surfcad-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add surfcad -- npx -y surfcad-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "surfcad": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "surfcad-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "surfcad": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "surfcad-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Surfcad safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.0.1) reached the registry 31 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

surfcad-agent

Bring-your-own-agent SurfCAD skill and helper library. SurfCAD is a web CAD app on a custom Manifold kernel. Agents bring their own model. This repo has no API keys and does not call a hosted model.

Pre-release. Version 0.1.0 is the tree layout, the vendored helper runtime, and the skill. The MCP server in packages/mcp-server is a placeholder (the stdio process is a later revision). server.json and the registry publish flow are not in this revision. Nothing here is published to npm from this tree.

npm surfcad and npm surfcad-mcp already exist as 0.0.1 placeholders ("coming soon"). This repo's packages are 0.1.0 and are not published yet. The plugin .mcp.json points at surfcad-mcp@0.1.0, which will not resolve from the registry until that version is published.

License: Apache-2.0.

There is one skill folder. There is no .claude/skills or .agents/skills copy.

Helper library

packages/surfcad re-exports loadManifold, runScript, helperScope, and the STL / 3MF / STEP exporters. The wasm is vendor/built/manifold.wasm, resolved from the package directory, so it works from node_modules/surfcad without depending on the process working directory. It is the custom kernel shipped with 3dculos, not npm manifold-3d.

The pin is the full SHA in packages/surfcad/UPSTREAM. npm run sync downloads that commit from GitHub, copies every runtimeFiles and catalogFiles path from sync-files.json into vendor/ (paths kept), and writes vendor/MANIFEST.json. CI runs the sync again and fails if the tree differs.

npm test

Run that from this directory. The headless test builds a filleted box, a two-body assembly, and a bent sheet, and checks status, bounding box, volume, body count, and non-empty STL, 3MF, and STEP.
