The AutoCAD MCP Server exposes eight consolidated tools for AutoCAD LT automation and headless DXF generation through a dual-backend architecture—a File IPC backend for Windows AutoCAD LT 2024+ control via natural language, and an ezdxf headless backend for platform-agnostic offline DXF creation without AutoCAD installed. It solves the problem of programmatically automating AutoCAD drawings and generating DXF files by providing a unified MCP stdio interface that allows Claude and other MCP clients to drive AutoCAD through high-level requests rather than manual command-line operations. The server uses AutoLISP for Windows AutoCAD communication and Python 3.10+ with the uv package manager for the MCP runtime.
