best-cad-mcp
A local, handle-first MCP server for agents that work with real AutoCAD drawings. It exposes high-level tools for drawing, editing, querying, annotation, layout, plotting, metadata, 3D solids, and CAD workflow guidance through the Model Context Protocol. The server runs on the same Windows account as AutoCAD and communicates over MCP stdio.
