odin-print-farm-mcp

Model Context Protocol server for O.D.I.N. — drive an actual print farm with AI agents, or run the bundled reference calculators standalone.

v2 (2026-04-15) splits the surface in two:

  • Live tools (22) — agent-driven farm operation. Require a running O.D.I.N. instance + a scoped token. Queue jobs, pause printers, manage inventory, clear alerts, log maintenance, read the dashboard.

  • Reference tools (4) — standalone calculators. No ODIN deployment required. Print-cost math, printer recommendations, farm capacity planning, software comparison.

Both surfaces ship in the same npm package; the live tools error at invocation if ODIN_BASE_URL / ODIN_API_KEY aren't set, so the reference tools keep working for pre-sales and research use cases.


Quick Start

Standalone (reference tools only)

npx -y odin-print-farm-mcp@2

Wire into Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "odin-reference": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "odin-print-farm-mcp@2"]
    }
  }
}

Agents can now use reference.calculate_print_cost, reference.recommend_printer_for_farm, reference.estimate_farm_capacity, reference.compare_farm_software.

Live (connected to O.D.I.N.)

  1. Mint an API token in O.D.I.N. (Settings → API Tokens → New Token) with scope agent:read or agent:write.

  2. Export the env vars and wire the client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "odin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "odin-print-farm-mcp@2"],
      "env": {
        "ODIN_BASE_URL": "http://192.168.1.100:8000",
        "ODIN_API_KEY": "odin_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

All 26 tools are now available.

Tools

Live reads (scope agent:read or higher)

Tool

Purpose

farm_summary

One-shot dashboard: printer counts by state, queue depth, unread alerts, active jobs. Call this first to orient.

list_printers

Fleet list, optional status filter.

get_printer

Full status + telemetry + AMS + active job for one printer.

list_jobs

Filter by status (pending / printing / completed / failed / cancelled).

get_job

Full job record.

list_queue

Pending jobs in priority order.

list_alerts

Filter by severity + read state.

list_spools

Filter by filament type / availability.

list_filaments

Filament library.

list_maintenance_tasks

Optional overdue-only filter.

list_orders

Customer orders by status.

Live writes (scope agent:write or admin)

Every write tool accepts optional dry_run and idempotency_key.

Tool

Purpose

queue_job

Add a job from a model library ID. Accepts model_id, optional item_name, quantity, priority, and notes; the ODIN scheduler assigns the printer.

cancel_job

Cancel a job. Requires reason on some endpoints.

approve_job

Approve a submitted job.

reject_job

Reject a job (reason required).

pause_printer

Pause the active print.

resume_printer

Resume a paused printer.

mark_alert_read / dismiss_alert

Alert housekeeping.

assign_spool

Bind spool → printer AMS slot.

consume_spool

Log grams used.

complete_maintenance

Log task completion. Requires printer_id, task_id, and task_name.

Reference (no backend)

Tool

Purpose

reference.calculate_print_cost

Material + electricity + depreciation + failure-rate math.

reference.recommend_printer_for_farm

Match printers to farm constraints.

reference.estimate_farm_capacity

Throughput forecasting.

reference.compare_farm_software

Feature matrix vs OctoFarm / Mainsail / Duet / etc.


Agent Primitives

The live surface inherits four retry-safety primitives from the O.D.I.N. v1.8.9 backend:

Idempotency-Key. Every write tool auto-generates a UUID key per call; pass a stable idempotency_key across retries to deduplicate. On replay, the response comes back with _idempotent_replay: true.

X-Dry-Run. Pass dry_run: true to any write tool. The backend returns {dry_run: true, would_execute: {...}} without committing. Per-route opt-in — individual routes land preview branches in subsequent releases.

Structured errors. Failures return an error: {code, detail, retriable} envelope. Stable codes agents can branch on:

Code

Meaning

printer_not_found / job_not_found / spool_not_found / alert_not_found

Resource missing.

scope_denied

Token scope insufficient. Mint a broader token.

permission_denied

Role-based denial (role, not scope).

quota_exceeded

Usage quota hit. extra.used_grams / extra.limit_grams.

idempotency_conflict

Same key + different body. Use a fresh key.

idempotency_in_progress

Concurrent retry in flight. Retry shortly.

idempotency_authz_changed

Role/scope changed since the original call. Mint a fresh key.

idempotency_uncacheable_success

Original succeeded but couldn't be cached. Mint a fresh key.

idempotency_unsupported

Multipart or oversized body — use app-level dedup.

itar_outbound_blocked

ODIN_ITAR_MODE=1 refused a public destination.

rate_limited

retriable: true.

validation_failed

Input schema error.

next_actions hints. Write responses include next_actions: [{tool, args?, reason?}] suggesting follow-up calls. Pure hint — no enforcement. Designed for 7B–32B local models.


ITAR / CMMC Deployment

O.D.I.N. ships ODIN_ITAR_MODE=1 for fail-closed air-gap deployments. Typical stack:

   Ollama (Qwen2.5-32B or similar)
      │
      ▼
   MCP client (Claude Desktop / OpenClaw / etc.)
      │ stdio
      ▼
   odin-print-farm-mcp@2  ── ODIN_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000
      │ HTTP
      ▼
   O.D.I.N. backend  ── ODIN_ITAR_MODE=1
      │ LAN
      ▼
   Printers (LAN-only)

Zero outbound packets. All tokens, prompts, and telemetry stay inside the compliance boundary. See the ITAR / CMMC mode docs.


Migration from v1

v2.0.1 renames the four v1 tools into a reference.* namespace:

v1

v2

calculate_print_cost

reference.calculate_print_cost

recommend_printer_for_farm

reference.recommend_printer_for_farm

estimate_farm_capacity

reference.estimate_farm_capacity

compare_farm_software

reference.compare_farm_software

The behavior of each tool is unchanged — only the identifier. Pin odin-print-farm-mcp@1 if you need the un-namespaced IDs. Upgrade to @2 to access the 22 live tools plus the namespaced reference calculators.


Skill packages

The skills/ directory ships operator-ready prompt packs for Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cline, and other MCP clients. odin-farm/SKILL.md is the baseline "safe farm operator" rulebook — dry-run-first, branch on error codes, never batch cancellations. Drop it into ~/.claude/skills/ (Claude Code) or your client's skills directory, and a local 32B model will stop trying to cancel jobs without confirmation.

See skills/README.md for install + customization.


Development

git clone https://github.com/HughKantsime/odin-mcp
cd odin-mcp
npm install
npm run build
npm test  # 22 integration tests against an in-process mock ODIN

Tests use a node-native http mock server (test/mock_server.ts) — no external fixtures, no ODIN instance required, runs in ~1s.
