SolidEdge MCP
Solid Edge MCP server for AI assisted CAD design, covering creation, analysis, modification and export of parts, sheet metal, assemblies and drafts over COM.
What it does and how it connects
SolidEdge MCP is an MCP server for AI-assisted CAD design in Solid Edge, over COM automation on Windows. It exposes 119 tools, 53 resources plus 2 guides, and 4 prompts, and it works from Claude or any MCP client. Coverage includes connecting to a running Solid Edge or starting one, creating, opening, saving, and closing parts, sheet metal, assemblies, and drafts, sketching 2D profiles, and building features from extrude and revolve through sweep, loft, helix, holes, patterns, and sheet metal.
Assemblies support placing components, relations, transforms, BOM, and interference checks; drafts support drawing views, annotations, dimensions, and parts lists; queries cover geometry, mass properties, feature trees, variables, and materials; and exports cover STEP, STL, IGES, JT, Parasolid, PDF, DXF, and images. Lengths are in meters and angles in degrees, and every result is a dict where an error key means failure.
The README measures how much of it works, rather than asserting it: 164 of the 213 create backend methods verify their own result, and the other 49 refuse before touching COM with the evidence for the refusal. Every tool has been driven against a real Solid Edge, with a live sweep recording 116 OK, 16 honest refusals, and 2 deliberate error probes across 134 cases on Solid Edge 2026. Requirements are Windows 10 or 11, a licensed Solid Edge installed and launched at least once, and Python 3.11 or later with uv.
What engineers report
Hi, I stumbled across your MCP server while looking for a way to drive Solid Edge with Claude. Thanks for your work! It generally worked well, but I found some issues. How I found them: I had Claude build a large assembly (a bicycle with 14 parts, fully dimensioned and driven by a variable table) through the server on Solid Edge 2026 (226.00.01.04, German UI), had it report every tool that failed or refused, and then let it investigate and fix the causes on its own.
