Overview

What is AutoCAD LT AutoLISP MCP Server?

An MCP server that automates AutoCAD LT and generates DXF files headless. It provides two backends—File IPC (requires AutoCAD LT 2024+ on Windows) and ezdxf (any platform, no AutoCAD needed)—and exposes 8 consolidated tools over the MCP stdio transport, enabling an MCP client to drive AutoCAD through natural-language requests.

How to use AutoCAD LT AutoLISP MCP Server?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with uv sync, load mcp_dispatch.lsp in AutoCAD LT via APPLOAD, then configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) with the command pointing to the Python interpreter in the project venv. Set the AUTOCAD_MCP_BACKEND environment variable to auto, file_ipc, or ezdxf. Verify by calling system(operation="status") from the client.

Key features of AutoCAD LT AutoLISP MCP Server

  • Two backends: File IPC (AutoCAD LT required) and ezdxf (headless, any platform)
  • 8 consolidated tools: drawing, entity, layer, block, annotation, pid, view, system
  • Focus‑free automation: sends keystrokes without stealing window focus
  • Arbitrary AutoLISP execution via execute_lisp
  • Headless DXF generation with matplotlib rendering
  • Screenshot capture even when AutoCAD is minimized

Use cases of AutoCAD LT AutoLISP MCP Server

  • Automate drawing creation and modification in AutoCAD LT using natural language
  • Generate DXF files headless on any platform (Linux, macOS, WSL)
  • Insert P&ID symbols from the CAD Tools Online library
  • Manage layers, blocks, and annotations programmatically
  • Run custom AutoLISP scripts through the MCP interface

Frequently asked questions

1

Do I need AutoCAD LT installed to use this server?

Only for the File IPC backend. The ezdxf backend works on any platform without AutoCAD.

2

Can I use the File IPC backend on macOS?

No. AutoLISP support in AutoCAD LT is Windows‑only (LT 2024+). AutoCAD LT for Mac does not support AutoLISP.

3

How does the server communicate with AutoCAD?

The File IPC backend writes JSON commands to a shared directory (default `C:/temp`) and sends keystrokes to AutoCAD’s MDIClient window via `PostMessageW(WM_CHAR)`, triggering the `(c:mcp-dispatch)` AutoLISP command.

4

Which MCP transport does this server use?

Stdio (JSON‑RPC). No authentication is described.

5

Does the ezdxf backend support all operations?

No. Operations such as `offset`, `fillet`, `chamfer`, `plot_pdf`, undo/redo, and some P&ID operations are File IPC only.
