loom
Allows validation, rendering, and exporting of OpenSCAD models.
This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
loom
An MCP server that lets an agent (e.g. Claude Code) validate, render, and export OpenSCAD models it's editing directly as files, so it can visually verify what it built.
Reading, writing, and listing .scad files is left to the agent's normal file tools (Read,
Write, Edit, Glob) — this server only wraps the parts Claude Code can't do on its own: invoking
the openscad binary and handling its image/binary output.
Requirements
Node.js 18+
openscadon your PATH (or setOPENSCAD_BINto its full path)

openscad-version— confirm the OpenSCAD CLI is available.validate-model— compile a.scadfile without producing a visual export, to catch syntax/geometry errors. Fast sanity check before rendering.render-preview— render a.scadfile to PNG and return it inline for visual inspection. Supports image size, camera, projection, color scheme, render mode (full vs. throwntogether), and view overlays (axes/edges/etc). Defaults to saving next to the source file.export-model— export a.scadfile to STL/OFF/3MF/AMF/DXF/SVG/CSG/POV. Defaults to saving next to the source file.
All three model tools take a path to the .scad file (any location — no fixed workspace
directory) and an optional output path to override where the rendered/exported file is saved.
Environment variables
OPENSCAD_BIN— path to the openscad executable (default:openscad).
