Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

const child = spawn(uvx, ["orcaslicer-mcp"], {

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Put your own value in place of <ORCA_API_TOKEN> (Remote API token from the OrcaSlicer MCP build (Preferences -> Remote API)). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: ORCA_API_URL (OrcaSlicer Remote API address; defaults to http://127.0.0.1:13130), ORCA_MCP_ALLOW_KEYS (Optional comma-separated config keys the MCP may change even though they run code or drive the printer directly (post_process, *_gcode, print host settings). Wildcards allowed. Blank by default), ORCA_PRINTER_URL (Optional printer address; by default the address in OrcaSlicer's active printer profile is used. A user name and password can be part of it (http://user:[email protected]); percent-encode special characters in them (@ as %40). A password in it is stored as an ordinary setting, so prefer ORCA_PRINTER_API_KEY where the printer accepts a key), ORCA_PRINTER_API_KEY (Optional API key for printers that need one (OctoPrint, or Moonraker with authorization)), ORCA_PRINTER_ID (Optional printer name for the outcome store; defaults to the host name of ORCA_PRINTER_URL when that is set, otherwise the printer profile's name, otherwise unknown).

Orcaslicer MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Orcaslicer MCP?
Orcaslicer MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package orcaslicer-mcp was installed 2 141 times last week.
How do I connect Orcaslicer MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls orcaslicer-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Orcaslicer MCP?
The pypi package orcaslicer-mcp was installed 2 141 times in the last week. Week over week that is +70%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Orcaslicer MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in Python, 95 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
