BHX Fab Quote MCP

An MCP server that allows AI agents to measure and price manufacturing jobs from DXF, G-code, and STL files. It provides tools to analyze DXF for cutting parameters, estimate G-code run times, estimate CNC costs from STL models, and retrieve example machine rates, enabling automated quoting for laser, plasma, and CNC operations.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Tools that measure and price laser, plasma, waterjet and CNC jobs from DXF, G-code and STL files. The default machine and material figures are examples, not a shop's real rates.

analyse_dxf_for_cutting — Analyse a DXF for laser, plasma or waterjet cutting
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Reads a flat 2D DXF (text DXF, as exported by AutoCAD, Fusion, Inventor and most CAD) and returns the parts, cut length, number of pierces and drawing problems (duplicate lines, open contours, near-miss gaps, holes smaller than the thickness). With a cutting speed it also returns the cutting time per part, including acceleration and pierces; with pricing it returns a price. Sheet nesting is not included.

estimate_gcode_run_time — Estimate the run time of a G-code program
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Simulates a CNC, laser or plasma G-code program (G0-G3 with arcs and helixes, drilling cycles G73/G81-G89, dwell, tool changes, inch/mm, absolute/incremental) with the machine's rapid speeds, acceleration and tool-change time. Returns the run time, time per tool, the program's size, and warnings such as rapid moves below Z0 or a program bigger than the machine. Accepts programs of up to 3,000 lines.
