TechDraw AI tools (6)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
check_creditsThe authenticated account's credit balance, plan, and what each operation costs. Call it before a batch so you know how far the balance goes.
generate_technical_drawingTurn a photograph of a physical object into a dimensioned, standards-compliant 2D technical drawing (orthographic views, dimension lines, projection symbol).
identify_productName the main object in a photo with a short, specific label (e.g. "L-shaped wall bracket").
image_to_dxfTrace a raster image — a generated technical drawing, a scan, a sketch, a logo — into real CAD vector contours and write a DXF file.
photo_to_3dTurn a photograph of a single object into a textured 3D mesh, downloadable as GLB (and FBX, OBJ, USDZ, STL).
render_productThe reverse of drafting: take a 2D technical drawing and produce a photorealistic image of the finished, manufactured product.

TechDraw AI Skills
AI agent skills for turning a photograph of a physical part into engineering documentation with TechDraw AI. Draft a dimensioned 2D technical drawing, trace it into CAD-ready DXF and DWG, reconstruct the part as a 3D mesh, or render it as a finished product shot. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf and anything else that loads Markdown skills or speaks MCP.
Each user authenticates with their own TechDraw AI API key, and every generation is billed to their account credits. The skills call the public TechDraw AI API directly, so there is nothing extra to install and no CAD kernel to build.
One photograph, three outputs: a dimensioned drawing, CAD geometry, and a 3D model.
Install
Pick one. Each method sets the skills up for your agent.
npx skills (recommended, cross-agent)
npx skills add MeltFlexDevs/techdrawai-skillsGitHub CLI (v2.90+)
gh skill install MeltFlexDevs/techdrawai-skillsClaude Code marketplace
Inside Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add MeltFlexDevs/techdrawai-skills
/plugin install techdrawai@techdrawaiMCP server only
If you want the tools without the skills, add the MCP server directly:
claude mcp add techdrawai -- npx -y techdrawai-mcpConfiguration for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Codex, VS Code and Windsurf is on the MCP page.
Setup script
Universal fallback:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/MeltFlexDevs/techdrawai-skills.git
cd techdrawai-skills
./setupMore options in INSTALL.md. Agent-driven install, to paste into your agent: INSTALLFORAGENTS.md.
Authenticate
Programmatic access is part of the Studio plan. Once you are subscribed, the simplest way to sign in is the browser flow, which mints a key from your session and hands it back over loopback so you never copy or paste a secret:
npx -y techdrawai-mcp auth loginOr create one by hand at techdrawai.com/app → Settings → API keys and export it:
export TECHDRAWAI_API_KEY="tda_sk_..."The key is shown exactly once at creation. Only its SHA-256 is stored, so nobody can recover it afterwards, including us. An account may hold five live keys and revoking one takes effect on the next request.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
Install directly
Runs npx -y techdrawai-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.
