What it does

Give your coding agent the ability to design real, manufacturable parts. Hand Claude Code or Codex a prompt, a sketch, or image. It writes build123d or CadQuery scripts, then runs agentcad to check its own work, catching broken code, confirming the geometry is watertight and dimensionally correct, and rendering it from every angle so your agent fixes its mistakes before you ever see them. You get back an interactive viewer plus STEP / STL / GLB files — ready to inspect, edit, or print.

Give your coding agent the ability to design real CAD output with build123d by default. Open-source MCP server and CLI with CadQuery compatibility, previews, STEP/STL/GLB export, validation, and version diffs.

An open-source MCP server and CLI that lets your coding agent design, render, and export real CAD output. On CADGenBench, GPT-5 Nano scored 48% higher with agentcad, produced 2.5 times as many valid outputs, and cost 21.8% less to run. Paste this prompt into Claude Code , Cursor , or any coding agent. It sets everything up and designs your first model — no manual install: Create a Python 3.12 virtual environment, then: pip install agentcad[mcp] agentcad skill install agentcad --help agentcad init --name phone-stand Read the --help output — it's your operational briefing. Use the default build123d runtime unless I explicitly ask for CadQuery compatibility. Then design me a phone stand: a…from agentcad.dev

    Hi HN, I’m Michael, I built AgentGrid with my friend Souren because we were tired of losing our coding sessions and couldn't keep track of what was actually being built across our many projects. Our approach was to use an infinite canvas desktop app for the TUIs we already know and love, mainly claude + codex. We drew inspiration from Figma and Railway. Overtime we added image nodes, notes, terminals, coding editors, source control, etc. I wasn't sure about it at first. It took me a month to give the first version Souren built a real try. What got me was an Apple System Update I've been…

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
