Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Mcp Openscad Render LoopCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Configure and invoke the MCP server; the available tools include render_stl, render_png, parametric_sweep, validate_scad, list_modules, and compute_metrics. No installation or configuration details are provided in the README.

OpenSCAD wrapped as an MCP server. Render .scad source with parameter overrides, run parameter sweeps,
validate syntax, extract module signatures, compute STL geometry metrics.
## Tools
- render_stl — render with -D parameter overrides
- render_png — preview render with camera + image-size control
- parametric_sweep — Cartesian sweep over multiple parameter ranges
- validate_scad — syntax check without rendering
- list_modules — extract module/function signatures + defaults
- compute_metrics — bbox, volume, surface area, triangle count from STL
