CATIA-mcp-ai-automation
Connects Claude Desktop to CATIA V5 so models can be generated through MCP.
What it does and how it connects
CATIClaude is an MCP server that connects Claude Desktop to CATIA V5 through pyCATIA COM automation, so an engineer can design real mechanical parts from natural language and get CATPart files plus STEP, IGES and STL exports. It is built by Pouya Bagheri and runs on Windows with CATIA V5 R20 or later and Python 3.10 or later.
Its layered design translates English into deterministic CAD operations: an intent planner turns the request into a structured design, an execution engine builds it step by step, and a validation step checks geometry before operations run. Tools cover documents, sketches, pads, pockets, holes, fillets, chamfers, parameters, measurement and mass properties, plus a design_from_text tool.
The README calls the project production-grade, but its roadmap still lists assembly generation, drafting automation, multi-agent workflows, AI optimization tools and CATIA V6 support as not built, and notes that only feature_manager.py may need version-specific tweaks across CATIA versions. Its homepage points at a CATIClaude repository name that resolves to this same repository.
Alternatives
Compare side by side- dsh-solidworks (tian-yu200)

- solidworks-mcp (haunchen)
An MCP server that creates SolidWorks engineering drawings from any MCP client through COM automation, rather than driving CATIA V5.
- MCP_CREO_MechDog
Turns Creo into an AI-driven modeling backend that produces editable native feature trees, rather than driving CATIA V5.
- parcad
Parametric CAD written as code with its own exact kernel and MCP surface, rather than an MCP server for CATIA V5.
- cadgang
A CAD viewer and markup tool whose markups and joints are readable by Claude Code over MCP, rather than a CATIA driver.
