printables-mcp
English · Русский
An MCP server for Printables.com: lets an AI agent search 3D models, read model cards, list files and get direct download links.
It talks to the public Printables GraphQL API directly: no HTML scraping, no browser, no account. All tools are read-only and return structured results (JSON with an output schema), so agents get exact fields instead of prose.
Installation
uv tool install printables-mcp
Then register the printables-mcp command with your MCP client. Claude Code:
claude mcp add printables -s user -- printables-mcp
Any other client that speaks stdio:
{
"mcpServers": {
"printables": { "command": "printables-mcp" }
}
}
Without installing: uvx printables-mcp.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_models |
Text search with pagination (limit, offset, total count) and filters: category, price (free / paid), licenses, published within N days, has user prints. Orderings: best match, popular, latest, rating, makes count. |
get_model |
Full model card: description as Markdown, tags, category path, license, materials, printer, print time, filament weight, images, PDF, remix sources, stats, price. |
list_model_files |
Every file group in one request: model files (STL/3MF/STEP…), G-code with printer, material, layer height, nozzle and print time, SLA files, other files, ZIP packs. |
get_download_links |
Direct download URLs (valid 24 h) for all or selected files, fetched in parallel. Files of paid or club-only models come back with a per-file reason instead of failing the call. |
list_categories |
All categories with their full paths (IDs for the search filter). |
list_licenses |
All licenses (IDs for the search filter). |
get_author |
Author profile by ID, handle or profile URL. |
list_author_models |
An author's models, cursor-paginated, ordered by newest, oldest, likes, downloads, rating or makes. |
Models and authors can be passed as IDs or as printables.com URLs (locale prefixes such as /de/ are fine).
Limitations
- Anonymous access only: paid and Printables Club models are visible, but their files cannot be downloaded.
- The API is undocumented and may change without notice; the end-to-end suite (
just test-live) checks it against the live service.
Development
uv sync
just lint # ruff format/check + ty
just test # pytest with 100% branch coverage
just test-live # end-to-end tests against the real API
