Call this server's tools from your browser. Nothing to install.
Requests go through mcptry because browsers can't call most MCP servers directly. Header values are sent to the server for that request only and are never stored or logged.

Convert a file opened with inspect_cad to STEP, STL or GLB and return a download link that expires in 30 minutes. STEP is a solid B-Rep when the source was read exactly; otherwise it is a triangulated STEP that CAD software cannot edit as a solid. STL and GLB are always triangulated meshes.
The ref from an inspect_cad result. An upload_ticket is not a ref.
This tool isn't marked read-only, so it may change something on the server or in an account you connected.

}Open a CAD file on CADProps servers and report its format, size, volume, area, units and accuracy, with an interactive 3D preview. Supported: 3DM, 3DXML, 3MF, 7Z, AMF, ASM, BMP, CATDRAWING, CATPART, CATPRODUCT, CGM, DFT, DRW, DWF, DWFX, DWG, DXF, EMF, F3D, GIF, GLB, GLTF, GZ, IAM, ICO, IDW, IFC, IFCZIP, IGES, IGS, IPT, JPG, JT, NEU, OBJ, PAR, PCX, PDF, PLT, PLY, PNG, PRC, PRT, PSM, RAR, SAB, SAT, SLDASM, SLDDRW, SLDPRT, STEP, STL, STP, SVG, TGA, TGZ, TIFF, U3D, UNV, VDA, VDAFS, VRML, WEBP, WMF, WRL, WRZ, X3D, X3DV, X_B, X_T, ZIP. Creo .prt files with supported saved triangle strips show a partial 3D preview with unverified units and no physical measurements. Other Creo .prt files, Creo .asm files and CATIA .CATProduct files show only the thumbnail saved in the file when available. Call with no file to get a one-time upload link. Files are deleted about one hour after upload.

| ref | string | Reference returned by an earlier inspect_cad call. |
| file | object | |
| wait_seconds | integer | |
| upload_ticket | string | Ticket from a previous upload link, after the user says the upload is done. |
