One JSON intermediate representation; every tool imports and exports it.
AI agents generate real KiCad, FreeCAD, and Blender files — checked against the real tools, not just self-reported validation.

Then start the MCP server with `~/.forgelab/venv/bin/forgelab-mcp --transport streamable-http --port 8001` and confirm the tools are available by calling list_domains over that transport. Then tell me what domains are supported.Install ForgeLab on this machine by running `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andresparraarze/ForgeLab/main/scripts/install.sh | bash`. Then add the stdio MCP server to your MCP configuration with the command `~/.forgelab/venv/bin/forgelab-mcp --transport stdio`, verify by calling list_domains, and confirm what design domains are available.forgelab update refreshes ForgeLab for all four clients at once: Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, and OpenClaw all point at the same venv (~/.forgelab/venv), so no client-specific re-registration is needed.Correctness is checked against the real tools — real kicad-cli DRC, real re-imports, real FreeCAD geometry. Two of these started as bugs ForgeLab shipped, found, and fixed; they stay documented here.
check_fabrication previously reported a board as passing when KiCad's own DRC found 199 real short circuits. Root cause: pads and vias were treated as dimensionless points.
Fixed — copper is now modelled physically, and the routed export is verified against real kicad-cli DRC at zero copper violations.
Translucent materials (glass, water) were silently exporting as fully opaque because alphaMode: "BLEND" was never set.
Fixed — base-color alpha < 1 now exports alphaMode: "BLEND", confirmed by re-importing the exported file.
“The file opened in FreeCAD” is not a correctness check for loft, revolve, fillet, or shell features.
Part-workbench organic-geometry features are verified against actual solid volume calculations and point-membership tests in real FreeCAD.
Auto-placed, autorouted PCB layouts with fabrication checks and fab-ready Gerber export.
