概要

What is MathCAD MCP Server?

MathCAD MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with PTC MathCAD Prime, enabling AI assistants like Claude to open, edit, calculate, and export MathCAD worksheets. It is built for engineers and users who want to automate MathCAD workflows through a standardized interface.

How to use MathCAD MCP Server?

Install Python dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt, then run python install_standalone.py (optionally with --hide to hide the MathCAD window). This configures Claude Desktop automatically. Alternatively, manually edit Claude Desktop’s configuration file to point to standalone.py with the MATHCAD_VISIBLE environment variable. Once running, the server exposes tools, resources, and prompt templates for worksheet management and calculation tasks.
