Drives SOLIDWORKS through its COM API to sketch, extrude, mate components and set materials, then reads back volume, mass and interference so the agent can check its own result.
Generates drawing packages from one call, including views, dimensions, GD&T frames, BOM tables and a PDF.
Includes lookup tools that search the SOLIDWORKS API help for the release you name with --year.
Can log every tool call to a local SQLite file and export the session as a runnable Python script.
A guided setup command detects SOLIDWORKS and installed MCP clients and writes their configs.

Driving SOLIDWORKS needs Windows 10 or 11; Linux and WSL run only the mock mode, docs and tests.
Only SOLIDWORKS 2026 has been tested by the author.
Mock-mode output is simulated and not engineering data.
