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

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Or run it on your computer

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "engine": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@cutoptim/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CUTOPTIM_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http engine https://api.cutoptim.com/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add engine --env CUTOPTIM_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y @cutoptim/mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "engine": {
      "url": "https://api.cutoptim.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

}

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": {
    "engine": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.cutoptim.com/mcp",
      "headers": {

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

CUTOPTIM_API_KEY secret env
Your CutOptim API key (co_live_…, co_test_…, or the public demo key). Not needed for validate_*.
Authorization secret HTTP header
Bearer followed by your CutOptim API key (co_live_…, co_test_…, or the public demo key). Not needed for validate_* and tools/list.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is CutOptim Engine 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?

You need to fill in: CUTOPTIM_API_KEY, Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 15 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

CutOptim MCP server

Cutting optimization as tools for AI assistants: 2D panels , 1D bars , timber and true-shape nesting ,

through the CutOptim Engine API and the Model Context Protocol.

MCP guide · API reference · Get a free test key

Two ways to connect

Hosted (no install) — point your MCP client at https://api.cutoptim.com/mcp with the header Authorization: Bearer . Configurations for Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and Claude Desktop are in the MCP guide.

Local (this package, stdio) — runs on your machine and calls the same API with your key:

"mcpServers": { "cutoptim": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@cutoptim/mcp"], "env": { "CUTOPTIM_API_KEY": "co_test_YOUR_KEY" } } } }

Claude Code: claude mcp add cutoptim --env CUTOPTIM_API_KEY=co_test_YOUR_KEY -- npx -y @cutoptim/mcp

Variable	Meaning
`CUTOPTIM_API_KEY`	your key: `co_live_…`, `co_test_…` (never billed) or the public demo key. Without one, only the `validate_*` tools work.
`CUTOPTIM_BASE_URL`	default `https://api.cutoptim.com`

Node 18 or newer.

Tools

Tool	What it does	Cost
`optimize_2d`	rectangular parts from sheets: layout, cut plan, yield	one API call
`optimize_1d`	lengths from bars, tubes, profiles	one API call
`optimize_wood`	timber parts by cross-section	one API call
`optimize_nest`	free-form polygon parts on sheets	one API call
`validate_2d` · `validate_1d` · `validate_wood` · `validate_nest`	check a request without solving it	free
`get_job`	read an async `engine: "max"` job	free
`get_usage`	calls used and left this month	free

The arguments of each tool are exactly the request body of its endpoint — the schemas are generated from the OpenAPI document. Every result carries a short summary for the assistant and the API's JSON answer as structuredContent.

Quota and billing

One tool call is one Engine API call: the same key, quota, rate limits and billing as calling the REST API yourself. The client sends an Idempotency-Key with every optimize call, so its own retries are never charged twice.
