Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted, read-only MCP server that lets an assistant find paper-craft models, explain paper needs, and walk through illustrated folding steps.

What you can do
  • Search and browse paper-craft models by name, difficulty, category or occasion, with ranked results and pagination
  • Look up one model's difficulty, paper size and preparation, materials and lesson links
  • Retrieve every illustrated 2D folding step plus the finish note for a model
  • Suggest projects by occasion, age, time budget, difficulty and category
  • List craft categories with model counts
When to use it
Useful when someone wants to choose a paper-craft project or be guided through folding it in chat, including requests for paper planes, fortune tellers or kid-friendly crafts. It is meant to replace folding instructions the assistant would otherwise recall from memory.
Requirements
A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint at origamitutor.com; no sign-in, API key or environment variables. Clients that only launch local servers need a bridge such as mcp-remote via npx. Interactive catalog and step viewer appear only in hosts supporting MCP Apps.
Before you install
All five tools are read-only and the server stores no personal data. Following a link to the website records the link source, page, time, country and a bot flag, without IP address or cookies. Instructions, paper sizes and difficulty should come from returned data rather than the assistant's memory, and completion times are estimates.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Origami Tutor 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.origamitutor%2Forigami-tutor/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

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

Origami Tutor MCP server

[Origami Tutor]

Origami Tutor is a hosted, read-only Model Context Protocol server for paper folding. An AI assistant can use it to find an origami or paper-craft model, explain the paper it needs, and walk you through every illustrated step. In hosts that support MCP Apps (ChatGPT, Claude), it also shows an interactive catalog and step viewer.

  • Website: https://origamitutor.com
  • MCP endpoint: https://origamitutor.com/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no sign-in)
  • Official MCP Registry name: com.origamitutor/origami-tutor

This repository holds the public server description, icons and connection instructions. The server itself is hosted at origamitutor.com, so there is nothing to install or run locally.
