Give AI tools expert CAD knowledge

An MCP server that plugs SolidProfessor's training content directly into Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot.

MCP Configuration 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "solidcontext": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@solidprofessorhub/solidcontext-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The Problem

AI tools hallucinate when answering CAD questions. They invent menu paths, suggest deprecated workflows, and give vague answers.

Without SolidContext
"How do I create a swept boss in SOLIDWORKS 2024?"
Go to Insert > Boss/Base > Sweep. Select your profile sketch and path sketch. Click OK.
Vague, missing critical steps. Engineer wastes 20 minutes.
With SolidContext
"How do I create a swept boss in SOLIDWORKS 2024?"
Create your profile sketch on a plane perpendicular to the path start. Sketch a single contiguous path curve that pierces the profile plane. Go to Features tab > Swept Boss/Base. Select profile, then path. Set Orientation to "Follow Path"...
Step-by-step, version-accurate, from SolidProfessor instructors.

How It Works

Engineers add SolidContext to their AI tool config. The AI automatically pulls relevant docs when answering CAD questions.

1

Engineer asks

"How do I add assembly mates in SOLIDWORKS 2024?"

2

AI resolves software

Calls resolve-software to match "solidworks" to a SolidContext ID

3

AI queries docs

Calls query-docs with the software ID and the question

4

Accurate response

AI responds with expert-level guidance sourced from SolidProfessor

ToolPurposeInputs
resolve-software Fuzzy-match a software name to a SolidContext ID name (string) — e.g., "solidworks", "autocad"
query-docs Search and retrieve relevant documentation softwareId, query, version?

Why This Matters

New Distribution Channel

SolidProfessor content surfaces in every AI interaction about CAD software. Engineers discover SP through their tools.

Brand Authority

Position SolidProfessor as THE source of truth for engineering AI. First mover in engineering-specific MCP servers.

Subscription Funnel

Free tier hooks engineers with accurate answers. Premium tier converts them to SolidProfessor subscribers.

Data Flywheel

Query analytics reveal what engineers need most — informing new course development and content priorities.

Next Steps

1

Define doc generation pipeline

Separate effort — transforms course content into queryable docs

2

Build MCP server prototype

TypeScript + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk with sample docs

3

Test with real queries

Validate with Claude Code and Cursor using SOLIDWORKS questions

4

Define content boundaries

Determine public vs. premium content split

5

Publish and register
