Sketch and feature modelling
Build bosses, cuts, revolves, sweeps, lofts, patterns, sheet-metal features, and more.
Open-source MCP bridge · Early alpha
Give AI real tools inside SOLIDWORKS.
SolidPilot turns higher-level CAD intent into controlled feature operations while keeping the live SOLIDWORKS model as the source of truth.
Working prototype for Windows and SOLIDWORKS 2026. Expect rough edges and breaking changes.

Describe. Build. Inspect. Correct.
- 01
Connect
An agentic coding tool such as Codex or Claude Code talks to the local execution service through MCP.
- 02
Model
Controlled sketch and feature operations change the real document.
- 03
Inspect
Topology, properties, screenshots, and responses report the current state.
- 04
Verify
The client checks the result, corrects problems, and can export the model.
Current tool surface
Feature-level CAD, not mouse-position theatre.
Inspection and visual capture
Read model structure and mass properties, then capture views of the actual document.
Drawings and exports
Create drawing views and export supported CAD, mesh, drawing, and document formats.
Assembly and simulation helpers
Use the developing assembly slice and supported simulation operations where licensed.
Batch execution and a Feature Graph compiler are exploring reproducible CAD builds.
The forward compiler workflow is still experimental. Durable references across topology-changing edits and some advanced operations remain active development areas.
Before you install
A local engineering toolchain.
SolidPilot does not provide SOLIDWORKS. It connects an MCP client to software and licences already available on your Windows workstation.

Found a repeatable failure? Bring the evidence.
Include the SOLIDWORKS release, SolidPilot commit, tool request, response, and the smallest reproducible model you can safely share. Never post licence keys, credentials, or confidential CAD.
