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

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• 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.

  Parameters:

  • name (required) — string — Name of the agent or app placing orders
  • email (required) — string — Email that receives the account notice, receipts, and order problems

  • organization — string — Company or person operating the agent

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent no · open-world yes

• get_account read-only

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

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• update_account destructive

  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.

  Parameters:

  • name — Name of the agent or app placing orders

  • organization — Company or person operating the agent

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent yes · open-world no

• 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.

  Parameters:

  • no_controlled_data (required) — boolean — Must be true: confirms the file contains no CUI, ITAR, or export-controlled data
  • url — Public https URL of the CAD file; we fetch it server-side
  • filename — File name with extension (.stl, .3mf, .obj, .step); required with content_base64
  • wait_seconds — integer — Seconds (0-30) to wait server-side for the analysis to finish before answering; 0 answers at once
  • content_base64 — The file's bytes, base64-encoded (up to about 3 MB)
  • idempotency_key — Same key on a retry returns the first result instead of creating another

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent no · open-world yes

• get_upload_url

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

  Parameters:

  • filename (required) — string — File name with extension (.stl, .3mf, .obj, .step)
  • no_controlled_data (required) — boolean — Must be true: confirms the file contains no CUI, ITAR, or export-controlled data

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent no · open-world no

• get_part read-only

  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.

  Parameters:

  • part_id (required) — string — Part id (prt_...) returned by upload_part or get_upload_url
  • wait_seconds — integer — Seconds (0-30) to wait server-side for the analysis to finish before answering; 0 answers at once

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• 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.

  Parameters:

  • items (required) — array — Parts to quote, each {part_id, quantity (1-100000), notes?, config: {units, process, material, color?, finishes?, finish_color?, services?, infill?, layer_height?}}
  • speed — Production speed: economy, standard, fast, faster, or fastest (FDM only). Faster speeds add a rush fee; get_capabilities lists each process's speeds.
  • ship_to — US shipping address: {name, line1, line2?, city, state, postal_code, country: 'US', phone?}
  • po_number — Your purchase order number, printed on the quote and order
  • contact_email — Email for receipts and order updates; defaults to the account email
  • idempotency_key — Same key on a retry returns the first result instead of creating another

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent no · open-world no

• get_quote read-only

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

  Parameters:

  • quote_id (required) — string — Quote id (qt_...) returned by create_quote

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• list_quotes read-only

  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.

  Parameters:

  • limit — integer — How many to return, newest first (1-200)
  • status — string — Which quotes: 'open' (the default), 'expired' (discarded), 'ordered', or 'all'

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• 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.

  Parameters:

  • quote_id (required) — string — Quote id (qt_...) returned by create_quote

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• update_quote destructive

  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.

  Parameters:

  • quote_id (required) — string — Quote id (qt_...) returned by create_quote
  • speed — Production speed: economy, standard, fast, faster, or fastest (FDM only). Faster speeds add a rush fee; get_capabilities lists each process's speeds.
  • ship_to — US shipping address: {name, line1, line2?, city, state, postal_code, country: 'US', phone?}
  • add_items — Parts to add, each {part_id, quantity (1-100000), notes?, config: {units, process, material, color?, finishes?, finish_color?, services?, infill?, layer_height?}}
  • po_number — Your purchase order number, printed on the quote and order
  • update_items — Changes to existing items: [{item_id, quantity?, config?, notes?}]; config is merged into the item's config
  • contact_email — Email for receipts and order updates; defaults to the account email
  • remove_item_ids — Item ids (itm_...) to remove from the quote
  • shipping_option — Shipping option id from the quote's shipping_options

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent no · open-world no

• create_checkout_link destructive

  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.

  Parameters:

  • quote_id (required) — string — Quote id (qt_...) returned by create_quote
  • idempotency_key — Same key on a retry returns the first result instead of creating another

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent no · open-world yes

• pay_with_crypto destructive

  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.

  Parameters:

  • quote_id (required) — string — Quote id (qt_...) returned by create_quote
  • use_credit — boolean — Apply account credit before charging USDC
  • confirm_credit — The credit_confirmation token from the previous call, to place an order fully paid by account credit
  • payment_signature — Base64 x402 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE for the requirements from the first call; omit to get the requirements

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent no · open-world yes

• get_order read-only

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

  Parameters:

  • order_id (required) — string — Order id (ord_...) from list_orders or the paid quote

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• list_orders read-only

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

  Parameters:

  • quote_id — Only orders for this quote id (qt_...)

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• set_refund_preference

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

  Parameters:

  • order_id (required) — string — Order id (ord_...) from list_orders or the paid quote
  • method (required) — string — 'usdc' sends refunds to the paying wallet; 'credit' adds them to account credit

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• 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.

  Parameters:

  • order_id (required) — string — Order id (ord_...) from list_orders or the paid quote
  • reason (required) — string — Why the order should be canceled, for the person who reviews it
