swapi-pilot MCP - Your SolidWorks API Navigator

swapi-pilot gives AI agents accurate, up-to-date SolidWorks API documentation, reducing errors and improving automation precision — think of it as dedicated context for SolidWorks coding.

Still searching the web for VBA Macros? Asking SolidWorks experts online to write them for you? Just install swapi-pilot MCP and build whatever Macro you need yourself — no more waiting for help!

Demo Videos

Video 1: Batch Export — SLDPRT to .XT Format

Scenario: A folder contains multiple SolidWorks part files (.SLDPRT) that need to be batch-exported to Parasolid (.XT) format for use in other CAD systems.

One instruction is all it takes. Claude Code with swapi-pilot MCP automatically finds the correct SolidWorks API, generates a C# automation script, and runs it to complete the batch export. No manual doc searching. No coding required.

Video 2: Smart FeatureManager Control — Move Rollback Bar Above Parting Line

Scenario: Editing a SolidWorks mold part and need to move the FeatureManager Rollback Bar to just above the first Parting Line feature in order to edit earlier features.

One instruction. Claude Code with swapi-pilot MCP instantly looks up the API, identifies the correct method and parameters, and executes — no manual dragging, no digging through SolidWorks API documentation.

Video 3: Free LLMs Can Do It Too — Kimi 2.5 with swapi-pilot

Scenario: The same task — moving the FeatureManager Rollback Bar above the first (earliest) Parting Line feature — this time using the free Kimi 2.5 model.

Without swapi-pilot, this kind of task is extremely difficult for any LLM. SolidWorks API documentation is massive, and LLMs almost never have the right methods and parameters in their training data. swapi-pilot closes that gap: it delivers precise, real-time API context at the moment of the call, enabling even free LLMs to complete tasks that would otherwise be out of reach.

swapi-pilot is not tied to any AI platform. Any MCP-compatible tool can use it.
