Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| DXF_MCP_ROOT | No | The root directory containing DXF files. If unset, defaults to the process working directory. |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_drawingsA | List DXF files available under a directory, relative to the configured root. |
| drawing_summaryA | Describe one drawing: DXF version, units, layer and block counts, entity mix. Call this first. It is cheap, and it tells you which of the other tools is worth calling on this file. |
| list_layersA | List every layer in a drawing with its colour, linetype, state and entity count. |
| extract_bill_of_materialsA | Extract a bill of materials from block insertions and their attributes. Each placed block becomes a row and each attribute tag becomes a column, which
is the shape drawing data has to be in before it can reach an ERP or a PLM
record. Pass |
| check_standardsA | Check a drawing against drafting standards. Reports missing required layers, forbidden layers and wrong units as errors,
and empty layers as warnings. |
| find_textA | Search TEXT, MTEXT and block attributes for a substring, case-insensitively. Useful for locating a part number or a revision note when you do not yet know which block or layer it lives on. |

TDQS
Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: listing files, searching text, summarizing drawings, listing layers, extracting BOMs, and checking standards. No overlap or ambiguity.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun lowercase snake_case pattern (list_drawings, find_text, drawing_summary, etc.), making the naming predictable and clear.
With 6 tools, the set is compact and focused on the domain of DXF file inspection and processing. Each tool earns its place without redundancy or bloat.
The tools cover the key workflows: discovering files, searching content, summarizing, inspecting layers, extracting BOM data, and validating standards. No obvious gaps for typical DXF operations.
