A place to share CadQuery scripts, modules, tutorials and projects

Contents

Tools

• MCP Server - Model Context Protocol server for AI assistants (Claude, etc.) to execute CadQuery scripts and render 3D models. Enables natural language CAD modeling.

  cd mcp-server && pip install .

Examples

• Braille.py - Configurable braille label/sign generator where user inputs text and the braille dots are generated automatically
