Design composite parts with your AI assistant.
Connect to PlyDrop to discover materials, configure a part, check its geometry, see its instant price and generate an approval drawing. Open the same design in the website to inspect it, price new sizes and purchase.
Connect
Add a remote MCP server in your AI client's connector settings. Choose Streamable HTTP and paste:
https://plydrop.parts/api/mcp
No API key is required for these public tools. Clients with an MCP JSON configuration can use:
{
"mcpServers": {
"plydrop": {
"url": "https://plydrop.parts/api/mcp"
}
}
}Configuration fields vary by client. The endpoint supports stateless MCP requests and JSON responses. Start with the server's tool list.
Inputs, tools and outputs
| Tool | Input → output |
|---|---|
get_catalog | No input → materials, cores, laminate presets, capability limits and a default specification. |
list_templates | No input → sample designs and template IDs. |
create_part | Template, dimensions, laminate preset and quantity → editable specification and browser link. |
validate_part | Full specification → checked geometry, calculated thickness, review notes and browser link. |
quote_part | Full specification → the instant price if plydrop.parts has already priced this exact part (every template at its starting size, any listed quantity), otherwise a design link to price and buy it on the website. |
approval_drawing | Full specification → one SVG approval sheet with laminate table, rosette and identity hashes. |
Try it
Use PlyDrop to make an instrument panel from the instrument template. Keep its default dimensions and laminate. Make two parts. Validate the specification, then get a quote once. Show me the price, review notes and link to inspect the design.
To customize a layup, read the catalog and edit the returned specification's materials, ply angles and core. Revalidate before quoting. Dimensions are in mm; positive ply angles run counterclockwise from +X viewed from Face A.
Customer approval stays in the loop.
The tools don't place orders, take payment or access private customer files. Geometry checks don't validate structural performance. Exact quote amounts, review status and expiry must be preserved; shipping and tax follow checkout. AI clients get prices the site already holds; a new size or layup is priced on the website from the design link.
Design links contain the compressed specification and open it in the customer's browser. MCP does not save it to an account.
