r"""Blocking FreeCAD Robust MCP Bridge Server.
SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
Copyright (c) 2025 Sean P. Kane (GitHub: spkane)
This script starts the MCP bridge server and blocks with run_forever().
It works with both freecad (GUI) and freecadcmd (headless) modes.
Use this script when you need FreeCAD to keep running (CI, background servers).
For interactive GUI sessions, use startup_bridge.py instead (non-blocking).
Usage:
# Headless mode (no GUI features):
freecadcmd ~/.local/share/FreeCAD/Mod/FreecadRobustMCPBridge/\
freecad_mcp_bridge/blocking_bridge.py
# GUI mode (full features including screenshots):
freecad ~/.local/share/FreeCAD/Mod/FreecadRobustMCPBridge/\
freecad_mcp_bridge/blocking_bridge.py
# On macOS:
/Applications/FreeCAD.app/Contents/Resources/bin/freecadcmd \
~/Library/Application\ Support/FreeCAD/Mod/FreecadRobustMCPBridge/\
freecad_mcp_bridge/blocking_bridge.py
Note: In headless mode (freecadcmd), GUI features like screenshots are not available.
For full functionality, run with the freecad GUI executable.
