HardCopy Labs MCP server

Which servers in the official MCP registry are HardCopy Labs's own, 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 namecom.hardcopylabs/hardcopyverified in the MCP registry

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

On 2026-10-24 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 88 ms.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.
  • Checked on 3 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • For "order a replacement bracket printed in PLA or PETG", the likely first call is preview_print_order.

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.

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 (30%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%) and use (15%). 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 →

  • preview_print_order

    MANDATORY before creating any order or checkout, including reorders. Render exact validated geometry and quote the whole order. Display EVERY returned part image with name, dimensions, material/color, quantity, notes and total to the…

  • validate_stl

    Check whether a 3D model can be printed, before ordering. A text validation quote is NOT approval to order. Call preview_print_order next, show its exact model images/options/price to the buyer, then obtain confirmation. Use this when the…

  • submit_print_job

    Create an order ONLY AFTER preview_print_order, image display and buyer confirmation. First present every preview image (or the viewer fallback), dimensions, material/color, quantity and quote. Obtain explicit buyer confirmation for that…

  • check_job_status

    Look up the current status of a print job (submitted, approved, printing, QC, shipped) and its UPS tracking number once shipped. Use when the user asks about an order they placed with HardCopy Labs.

  • reorder_print_job

    A REORDER ALSO REQUIRES A NEW VISUAL PREVIEW AND BUYER CONFIRMATION. First call preview_print_order with reorder_of and any desired changes, show every image/options/price to the buyer, and obtain confirmation. Then call this with…

How to connect

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hardcopy": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.hardcopylabs.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http hardcopylabs https://mcp.hardcopylabs.com/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://mcp.hardcopylabs.com/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.
