PrintYourDuck Quote — Claude Code MCP server: setup guide
Submits local 3D print assets to PrintYourDuck for manual price reviews. It helps coding agents locate CAD models and file quote requests directly from the project directory.
claude mcp add --transport http quote https://printyourduck.com/api/mcpWhat PrintYourDuck Quote does
This MCP integration connects local 3D models to human estimators at PrintYourDuck. It works with common mesh and CAD extensions, including .stl, .step, .stp, .3mf, .obj, and .zip archives. The assistant inspects formatting guidelines and requires explicit user confirmation before dispatching any geometry.
Four dedicated tools handle the quote flow: reading submission guidelines, finding local assets, executing the upload, and querying order status via quote identifier and email address. No API token is needed. Requests connect directly to https://printyourduck.com.
File scanning stays confined to the current directory. To scan parent folders, set PRINTYOURDUCK_MCP_ALLOWED_ROOTS. The server does not offer instant quotes or online checkout.
What it helps with
- locate recent
.stl,.step, or.3mffiles in the project - review service material options and geometry rules
- submit a CAD file for manual fabrication quoting
- track quotation status using quote ID and customer email
Example prompts for the agent
- Find recent 3D print files in this workspace and check quoting requirements
- Submit
bracket.stepto PrintYourDuck for a manual quote - Check the status of quote
