MCP server for controlling AutoCAD/GstarCAD/ZWCAD via COM interface

Project description

CAD-Cowork-MCP

MCP server that lets AI Agents control AutoCAD / GstarCAD / ZWCAD via Windows COM interface.

通过 MCP(Model Context Protocol)让 AI Agent 控制 AutoCAD / 浩辰 CAD / 中望 CAD 的独立 MCP 服务器。

Features

  • 129 parameterized API commands covering drawing, querying, modification, batch operations, etc.
  • Smart command routing with automatic execution method selection
  • Batch execution engine with DAG dependency and cross-command parameter passing (${cmd_id.field})
  • GsLc process flow diagram domain-specific command disambiguation
  • System prompt template guiding Agents to call commands correctly

Prerequisites

  • Windows (requires COM interface)
  • Python 3.10+
  • AutoCAD / GstarCAD / ZWCAD (installed and running)
  • cad-cowork-cstool .NET plugin loaded in CAD

Installation

For Claude Code users

Add to your Claude Code MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cad-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["cad-cowork-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

For other MCP clients

# Install globally
pip install cad-cowork-mcp

# Or run directly with uvx
uvx cad-cowork-mcp

Configuration
