What's in it
- Data offered docs-verified
- drawing file operations (create, open, info, save, save_as_dxf, plot_pdf, purge, get_variables, undo, redo) · entity create, read and edit (lines, circles, polylines, rectangles, arcs, ellipses, mtext, hatch, copy, move, array, etc.) · layer management (list, create, freeze, thaw, lock, unlock, set properties) · block operations (list, insert, attributes, define) · annotations (text, linear/aligned/angular/radius dimensions, leaders) · P&ID symbol library operations (insert symbols, equipment, valves, pumps, tanks, instruments, flow arrows) · viewport zoom and screenshot · server status and arbitrary AutoLISP execution
- Formats docs-verified
- DXF · PDF · MCP stdio
- Access llm-inferred
- Free and open under MIT licence. File IPC backend is a local install and needs AutoCAD LT 2024+ on Windows 10/11 with native Python 3.10+ and uv. The ezdxf headless backend runs without AutoCAD on Linux, macOS and WSL.
Useful for
- Use cases llm-inferred
- Drive AutoCAD LT drawing setup and entity edits (lines, polylines, offsets, layers) from natural-language requests · Generate DXF drawings headlessly on Linux or in CI with the ezdxf backend for offline civils or drainage layouts · Add dimensions, text and leaders to drainage or civils drawing sheets · Insert P&ID symbols, equipment tags and flow arrows for water-treatment process diagrams (requires the CTO library)
- Audience llm-inferred
- civils engineers · drainage engineers · BIM/CAD technicians · process engineers (P&ID)
Limitations
- Constraints docs-verified
- File IPC backend requires Windows 10/11, AutoCAD LT 2024+ and native Windows Python (WSL Python not supported) · AutoCAD LT for Mac does not support AutoLISP · offset, fillet and chamfer only work with the File IPC backend · ezdxf backend does not support undo, redo or plot_pdf · P&ID tools require the separate CTO symbol library installed at C:\PIDv4-CTO\ · Changing AUTOCAD_MCP_IPC_DIR also requires editing *mcp-ipc-dir* in mcp_dispatch.lsp
