# DWG MCP Server Skill

Use this skill when a user wants to inspect AutoCAD DWG drawings with an AI agent.

Upstream project: https://github.com/dimitrovakulenko/dwg-mcp-server

## Setup

Install the MCP server in your MCP client or run it with npx:

```bash
npx -y @dmytro-prototypes/dwg-mcp-server
```

For clients without MCP roots, configure explicit allowed roots:

```bash
DWG_MCP_ALLOWED_ROOTS="$HOME" npx -y @dmytro-prototypes/dwg-mcp-server
```

## Workflow

1. Ask the user for the DWG file path and confirm it is under an allowed root.
2. Use `dwg.list_roots` to inspect accessible folders.
3. Use `dwg.open_file` to open the drawing and get a `documentId`.
4. Use `dwg.list_file_types`, `dwg.describe_type`, `dwg.get_objects`, and `dwg.query_objects` to inspect contents.
5. Summarize entities, layers, blocks, layouts, references, and notable properties.
6. Close the document with `dwg.close_file` when done.

This bundled skill is a BoosAPI Desktop wrapper around the upstream MCP server. It does not edit DWG files directly.
