What it does and how it connects

gNucleus Text To CAD MCP server connects MCP clients to the gNucleus API, so they can generate CAD parts or assemblies from text input using gNucleus's generative models. It exposes one MCP tool, text_to_cad, and works with any MCP-compatible client.

Setup needs Python 3.7 or later, a gNucleus developer account, and a gNucleus API key in a .env file, with an organization ID for enterprise users. Each account starts with 200 free API credits, per the README. Prompts work in any language, though the README says English generally works better.

Generated results include the design spec with key parameters and a description, plus a shared URL with a 3D display viewer that expires in 24 hours. Example prompts cover blocks, spur gear shafts, elbow flanges, tapered roller bearings, and differential gear boxes.
