3D Print Everything MCP server

Which MCP servers are 3D Print Everything's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry nameorg.3dprinteverything/print-shopverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under 3dprinteverything.org. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-20 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 64 ms.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.

Once connected

  • Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 3 of 6 tools: check arguments before calling.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

What an agent can do with it

  • not sure · reprint discontinued machine parts from a measured CAD model
  • cannot · make production fixtures and assembly jigs for the shop floor
  • not sure · prototype form and fit parts before committing to tooling

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • get_capabilities

    Services, materials, turnaround, limits, and exactly what you as an assistant can and cannot do here. Read this first if you have not worked with this shop before.

  • submit_job

    Opens a request with the shop. A person reviews it and sends a quote, usually within one business day. The customer is emailed immediately telling them you did this for them. Nothing is charged and no price is agreed. Returns an order id…

  • attach_files

    Send the geometry as base64 bytes. Quotes need it — a job with no file waits for one. Accepts STL, 3MF, OBJ, STEP, IGES, PLY, DXF, SVG, images and PDF. Up to 10 files, 50MB each. We will not fetch a URL for you; send the bytes.

  • check_order

    Where the job has got to. Once a person has priced it this returns the quote, what is outstanding, and links for your HUMAN to approve and pay. Relay those links to them — tapping them is their job, not yours. Poll this when your human…

  • check_geometry

    Send an STL, 3MF or OBJ and get back its real size, volume, roughly how much plastic it needs, and whether it fits on one plate. Instant, no human involved, nothing is ordered. Use this BEFORE submit_job whenever your human has a file. It…

  • escalate_to_human

    Hand a question to a human at the shop. Use it the moment you are asked something you cannot actually know — whether a material is food safe or dishwasher safe, whether a colour can be matched, whether a part will hold a given load…

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "print-shop": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://3dprinteverything.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http 3dprinteverything https://3dprinteverything.org/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://3dprinteverything.org/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
