AI
Connect your AI
Let the AI app you already use work with the CadCraft apps. It asks the apps to do things, you decide what it may do, and you can take it out again. The apps contain no AI of their own: the AI is the one you connect.
On a phone or tablet
An AI app on a phone or tablet reaches the CadCraft apps through a connector we host, not through a settings file on the device. The hosted connector is not open yet. Use a computer to connect an AI app for now.
The package behind the cards
Every card starts the same small program, @getcadcraft/mcp, with npx. It needs Node.js 20.19 or newer: open a terminal (on Windows, Command Prompt or PowerShell) and type node --version to check; if it is older or missing, install the LTS version from nodejs.org, then restart the AI app. It gives the AI app tools for the CadCraft apps (open and read drawings, models and takeoffs, and, only where you allow it, edit, save and export) and also installs the cadcraft command line for scripts. It contains no AI and sends nothing anywhere itself.
Check who publishes it before you run it. npm view @getcadcraft/mcp shows the version and the maintainer account (ddgconsultant, the account that owns the @getcadcraft scope on npm), and the package page on npmjs.com shows the same. The scope belongs to CadCraft; the same scope publishes @getcadcraft/studio, the Linux launcher on our download page.
What the AI can reach
The tools return what is in your drawings and models to the AI app you connected. With an AI app that runs in the cloud, that goes to its provider, so choose the app, and what it may do, with that in mind. Each connection is one you chose, and each can be taken out again.
