Overview

AI-generated overview

Opens CAD and 3D files on CADProps servers to report format, size, volume, area, units and accuracy, with a 3D preview and conversion to STEP, STL or GLB.

What you can do
  • Inspect CAD files: open a file on CADProps servers and get format, size, volume, area, units and accuracy plus an interactive 3D preview, across many formats such as DWG, DXF, STEP, IFC, CATIA, Inventor and mesh files.
  • Convert files: turn an opened file into STEP, STL or GLB and get a download link that expires in 30 minutes.
  • Hand off to the web workspace: get a one-time link to open the file in the CADProps workspace for measuring, sectioning and sharing.
  • Renew the preview token: refresh the read-only token used by the CADProps preview.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to check the geometry or metadata of a CAD or 3D model without local CAD software, or to produce a STEP, STL or GLB copy for review or sharing.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at cadprops.com; no package, environment variables or headers are declared. Files must be reachable by the CADProps servers, and the workspace and download links require a browser to use.
Before you install
Files are uploaded to and processed on third-party CADProps servers, so avoid confidential models unless that is acceptable. Conversion output may be a triangulated STEP that CAD software cannot edit as a solid, and STL/GLB are always meshes. Download links expire after 30 minutes, and opening a file in the workspace permanently disables the chat preview and links for that file.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open CADProps in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.cadprops%2Fcadprops/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

inspect_cad

Inspect CAD file

Open a CAD file on CADProps servers and report its format, size, volume, area, units and accuracy, with an interactive 3D preview. Supported: 3DM, 3DXML, 3MF, 7Z, AMF, ASM, BMP, CATDRAWING, CATPART, CATPRODUCT, CGM, DFT, DRW, DWF, DWFX, DWG, DXF, EMF, F3D, GIF, GLB, GLTF, GZ, IAM, ICO, IDW, IFC, IFCZIP, IGES, IGS, IPT, JPG, JT, NEU, OBJ, PAR, PCX, PDF, PLT, PLY, PNG, PRC, PRT, PSM, RAR, SAB, SAT, SLDASM, SLDDRW, SLDPRT, STEP, STL, STP, SVG, TGA, TGZ, TIFF, U3D, UNV, VDA, VDAFS, VRML, WEBP, WMF, WRL, WRZ, X3D, X3DV, X_B, X_T, ZIP. Creo .prt files with supported saved triangle strips show a partial 3D preview with unverified units and no physical measurements. Other Creo .prt files, Creo .asm files and CATIA .CATProduct files show only the thumbnail saved in the file when available. Call with no file to get a one-time upload link. Files are deleted about one hour after upload.

Parametersreffilewait_secondsupload_ticket

convert_cad

Convert CAD file

Convert a file opened with inspect_cad to STEP, STL or GLB and return a download link that expires in 30 minutes. STEP is a solid B-Rep when the source was read exactly; otherwise it is a triangulated STEP that CAD software cannot edit as a solid. STL and GLB are always triangulated meshes.

Parametersrefrequiredtargetrequiredstep_kindwait_seconds

open_in_workspace

Open in CADProps workspace

Return a one-time link (valid 15 minutes) that opens this file in the CADProps web workspace for measuring, sectioning and sharing. After it is opened, the chat preview and links for this file stop working.

Parametersrefrequired

refresh_view_token

Refresh preview

Used by the CADProps preview to renew its read-only token.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
