Initial Public Beta - 2026-01-05

MCP Server v0.5.0-beta

Initial public beta release.

Added

  • Document management: Create, open, save, close, recompute documents
  • Object manipulation: Create primitives (box, cylinder, sphere, cone, torus, wedge, helix), boolean operations, transforms (scale, rotate, copy, mirror)
  • PartDesign workflow: Bodies, sketches, pads, pockets, revolutions, fillets, chamfers, holes, patterns, lofts, sweeps
  • Import/Export: STEP, STL, 3MF, OBJ, IGES, BREP formats
  • View control: Screenshots, camera positioning, zoom, visibility, display modes
  • Macro support: List, run, create, and manage FreeCAD macros
  • Undo/Redo: Full undo/redo support with status queries
  • Connection modes: XML-RPC (recommended), Socket, and Embedded (Linux only)

Installation

  • GUI mode support: Full 3D view integration with screenshots
  • Headless mode support: Console-only operation for automation

Cut Object for Magnets Macro v0.5.0-beta

Initial public beta release.

Added

  • Smart cutting: Cut objects in half with aligned magnet holes for easy reassembly
  • Hole placement: Automatic hole placement with overlap detection
  • Object support: Works with solid and hollow objects
  • Hole methods: Parametric PartDesign::Hole or boolean hole methods
  • GUI dialog: Interactive parameter configuration

Multi Export Macro v0.5.0-beta

Initial public beta release.

  • Batch export: Export multiple objects with progress feedback
  • GUI dialog: Interactive format and option selection

Project Infrastructure (v0.5.0-beta)

Added

  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions workflows for testing, Docker builds, and PyPI releases
  • Quality: Pre-commit hooks with Ruff, MyPy, Bandit, and secrets detection
