Mesh2Metal’s planned MCP server will let Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients check manufacturability, request quotes, and see lead times during design iteration. Access is planned at up to \~100 free checks per day per user; an account will be required, and the waitlist is open now.

## What can the Mesh2Metal MCP server do?

The Mesh2Metal MCP server is planned as a tool connection for engineers who want useful part feedback without leaving a design conversation. The planned `check_manufacturability` tool will return a verdict in under 60 seconds. When a design needs attention, the result is intended to say what is wrong and how to fix it, rather than returning only a pass or fail.

The planned `get_quote` tool will provide a quote and lead-time information for a selected design. The exact delivery date comes with the instant quote. The planned `list_materials` tool will expose available material families and grades, so a client can help compare a design against a suitable choice. The planned `explain_verdict` tool will turn the verdict into a clearer engineering explanation for a person or an agent reviewing the result.

All four tools are planned. Names, fields, and response details may change before accounts open. The goal is a compact loop: check a design, understand the verdict, choose a material, then request a quote.

## How would an engineer use MCP during design iteration?

Design iteration with Mesh2Metal is intended to keep the client conversation close to the part decision. Drop your CAD into the browser experience, where STL, STEP/STP, 3MF, and OBJ files are analyzed locally in the browser and never leave your device. Then use an MCP client to ask for the next useful result.

A typical sequence starts with a manufacturability check. If the verdict calls for a geometry change, ask for an explanation, revise the CAD, and check again. Once the design is acceptable, request a quote and lead time. Material questions can use the planned materials tool instead of a separate catalog lookup. This makes the MCP connection useful during early design review, supplier comparison, and procurement preparation.

The client should treat each result as decision support, not as a substitute for drawing review or internal approval. Keep your revision, material, quantity, and acceptance criteria clear in the conversation so the returned quote and date have the right context.

## Which details can the planned tools return?

The planned tool set is designed around four common questions: Can the part be made, why did the verdict say that, what material fits, and what will the part cost and timing look like?

| Planned tool             | Intended result                                                       | Useful decision                                     |
| ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| check\_manufacturability | Verdict under 60 seconds, with a reason and suggested fix when needed | Revise geometry before requesting a quote           |
| explain\_verdict         | Plain-language context for the returned verdict                       | Share a clear design issue with an engineering team |
| list\_materials          | Available families and grades                                         | Compare material requirements with the design       |
| get\_quote               | Quote and exact delivery date                                         | Decide whether to proceed and plan the next handoff |

The response should stay tied to the selected design and material. For requirements that depend on drawings, inspection plans, or customer approval, use the returned information as an early check and continue with the applicable review.

## What materials and delivery details should teams expect?

Mesh2Metal supports aluminum, copper, stainless, titanium, nickel, and tool steel families. Examples include AlSi5-class and AlSi12-class aluminum, 316L and 17-4 PH stainless, Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5, CuCrZr, Alloy 625, Alloy 718, H11, and H13\. The planned `list_materials` tool is intended to keep this catalog available inside the client.

Mesh2Metal uses additive manufacturing to build near-net shape, followed by precision machining where needed, inspection, and a quality certificate. Parts are made in under 1 day and delivered the next day up to 5 days, depending on part size; the exact date comes with the instant quote. Every part ships with a quality certificate covering chemical composition, porosity and defect map, 3D deviation from your CAD, mechanical and thermal properties, traceability, and certificate of conformance. See [quality details](https://mesh2metal.com/quality) and [lead times](https://mesh2metal.com/lead-times).

## How do access, limits, and configuration work?

Access to the Mesh2Metal MCP server is planned, not open yet. An account will be required. Free access is planned at up to \~100 checks per day per user, and the current path is the [waitlist](https://mesh2metal.com/contact). The [API page](https://mesh2metal.com/api) will carry connection details as the service becomes available.

**Illustrative — available when accounts open:**

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mesh2metal": {
      "url": "https://mesh2metal.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MESH2METAL_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

The JSON above is an illustrative client configuration, not a live credential or a promise of final field names. Use an account-specific token when access opens, and keep credentials out of prompts, source repositories, and shared logs.

## What should teams do before connecting?

Teams evaluating MCP can start by reviewing [manufacturability](https://mesh2metal.com/manufacturability), [materials](https://mesh2metal.com/materials/aluminum), and the [quote flow](https://mesh2metal.com/quote). The planned server is best suited to repeatable design questions: check a revision, understand the verdict, compare a material, and request timing. Keep the design source and approval record in the systems your organization already uses.

## Questions

What is the Mesh2Metal MCP server?

The server is a planned Model Context Protocol connection for design assistants and agents. It is intended to provide manufacturability checks, quotes, material details, and lead times in a client conversation.

Which AI clients can connect?

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients are the intended audience. Client support depends on the account and connection options available when access opens.

Do MCP requests require an account?

Yes. An account will be required, and free access is planned at up to approximately 100 checks per day per user.

Can I send export-controlled technical data?

Please don't send us export-controlled (ITAR/EAR) technical data until we have set up a compliant path with you — contact us first.
