Available tools 18

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

quote

create_quote

Create a quote. items: [{part_id, quantity, config: {units, process, material, color, finishes, finish_color, services, infill, layer_height}}]. See get_capabilities for valid ids. Returns prices, speed options with ship/arrival dates, and next_steps.

get_quote

Current pricing, speeds, shipping options, warnings and next_steps for a quote.

update_quote

Change speed (economy|standard|fast|faster|fastest), ship_to, shipping_option, items. update_items: [{item_id, quantity?, config?, notes?}] where config is merged into the item's config.

account

get_account

The authenticated account: contact email, default ship_to, credit balance, spending limits.

update_account

Change the agent account's name, organization, email, default ship_to or callback_url; omitted fields stay. A new email or callback_url is emailed to the previous account email. Agent accounts only.

upload

get_upload_url

Get a one-time URL to HTTP PUT a large file directly (no auth header needed). Returns the part on upload.

upload_part

Upload a CAD file (STL, 3MF, OBJ, STEP) from an https URL or base64 content (filename required for base64). MCP requests are limited to 4 MB, so base64 works for files up to about 3 MB; use a URL or get_upload_url for larger files. no_controlled_data must be true: confirms the file has no CUI/ITAR/export-controlled data. Returns a part with status 'pending'; poll get_part until 'ready' (usually seconds), or pass wait_seconds.

agent

create_agent_account

Create an autonomous agent account and API key. accept_terms must be true (Terms of Sale + Agent Terms). ship_to: {name, line1, line2?, city, state, postal_code, country: 'US', phone?}. The api_key is shown once.

capabilities

get_capabilities

Processes, materials, colors, finishes, services, speeds, file formats, limits and payment methods.

checkout

create_checkout_link

Option A: get a Stripe Checkout URL for a human to pay by card (tax added at checkout). Each new link stops earlier links for the same quote from working.

discard

discard_quote

Close a quote you no longer need, so it stops counting toward the open-quote limit. It becomes 'expired': its checkout links and USDC payment requests stop working and it can't be paid. Discarding it again is harmless. An ordered quote, or one with a USDC payment received, can't be discarded.

order

get_order

Order status, ship-by and arrive-by dates, tracking.

orders

list_orders

Orders for this account, newest first. Filter by quote_id to check whether a checkout link was paid.

part

get_part

Part status, measured geometry (mm), suggested units, DFM warnings, and processes that fit it. Pass wait_seconds to wait for a pending part's analysis in this call instead of polling.

pay

pay_with_crypto

Option B: pay autonomously in USDC via x402 (agent accounts only). Call without payment_signature to get the payment requirements (amount, asset, pay_to, network); nothing is charged. Then sign an x402 'exact' payment and call again with payment_signature (the base64 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE value). If account credit covers the whole total, you get status 'credit_confirmation_required' and a credit_confirmation token instead; call again with confirm_credit to place the order.

quotes

list_quotes

Your quotes, newest first: id, number, status, item_count, expires_at and the last priced total_before_tax. Nothing is repriced; use get_quote for current prices. Use it to find quotes to discard when you hit the open-quote limit.

refund

set_refund_preference

For USDC orders: receive refunds as 'usdc' (sent to the paying wallet) or 'credit' (account credit).

request

request_order_cancellation

Ask the shop to cancel an order that hasn't shipped. A person reviews it; production may already have started. Asking again within 24 hours adds the reason without notifying the shop twice. The order.status_changed webhook and get_order show the outcome.

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

It exposes 18 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_agent_account, create_checkout_link, create_quote, discard_quote, get_account, get_capabilities and 12 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Make Parts Now: 3D Printing & CNC Machining Quotes mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around quote, upload and account. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Make Parts Now: 3D Printing & CNC Machining Quotes working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 643 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Make Parts Now: 3D Printing & CNC Machining Quotes?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Make Parts Now: 3D Printing & CNC Machining Quotes need an API key?

No. Make Parts Now: 3D Printing & CNC Machining Quotes completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 18 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Make Parts Now: 3D Printing & CNC Machining Quotes?

It answers our handshake in 643 ms on average, which is faster than 16% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
