Copy and paste between windows
Part names, prices and comments get copied out of the app into the chat and back again, one field at a time.
CUTL MBD Studio
Connect Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants to your CUTL account
Ask in plain words and your assistant does the work in CUTL: it opens STEP models, quotes parts and assemblies and reads production status. It acts as you, with your role's rights, and you confirm anything that reaches other people.
Your AI assistant does not know your shop
An assistant can write an email or explain a tolerance, but it cannot see your projects, prices or models. So the work goes back and forth between the chat and the app.
Prices it can only guess
A general assistant does not know your materials, cutting modes or hourly rates. Ask it what a part costs and it can only guess.
Small questions, many screens
Checking the balance, finding last month's project or reading today's shift tasks means opening one screen after another.
AI assistants (MCP) Available after registration
Run CUTL from your AI assistant
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor to CUTL over MCP and say what you need in plain words. The assistant opens STEP models, quotes parts and assemblies, reads routes, adds PMI and builds documents for you, as you and with your role's rights. Everything it does shows up in CUTL straight away.
Quote perforated-tube.step for 50 pieces and tell me when it can be ready.
- Opened the STEP review
- Priced 50 pieces
- Read the route
Done: 50 pieces quoted in CUTL. Ready in ~6 working days, set by galvanising.
Four toolsets
Core, STEP and MBD, Assemblies and documents, and Setup. Connect only the ones you use.
Each toolset has its own server address and is added as its own connector. Core covers projects, quotes, production and nesting. STEP and MBD covers reviews, comments, PMI, inspection documents, DXF to STEP and PDF to STEP. Assemblies and documents covers assembly pricing, quantity breaks, routes, route cards and ERP export. Setup covers machines, materials and customers. An assistant picks tools more reliably from a short list, so add only what you need.
A token or a sign-in
Paste a token into Claude Code, Cursor or Gemini CLI, or sign in from Claude.ai, ChatGPT or Gemini Enterprise.
A token works with every toolset and expires after 30, 90 or 365 days, or never. Signing in connects one toolset at a time and ends when you press Disconnect in CUTL or after 30 days without use. Either way the assistant acts as you: it can read and change exactly what your role allows, no more, and you revoke it in Settings, Integrations.
Your limits, your records
Assistants spend coins only within the limits you set, and their work lands in CUTL as ordinary projects and quotes.
Set the assistant coin limits on the Integrations tab so an assistant cannot run down your balance. What it creates are ordinary projects, parts, quotes and production tasks that your team sees and can change in the web app, so nothing lives only in a chat.
From connection to first answer
01
Copy the server address
In CUTL, open Settings, Integrations and copy the address of the toolset you need, for example STEP and MBD.
02
Sign in or paste a token
In Claude.ai, Claude Desktop or ChatGPT, add a connector with that address and press Connect on the CUTL page. For Claude Code, Cursor or Gemini CLI, generate a token and paste the setup text.
03
Ask a first question
Try "What is my CUTL coin balance?". The assistant answers with your name, the team's balance and the coin limits for assistants.
04
Confirm what matters
The assistant works in CUTL straight away. Before it emails a quote, invites a reviewer or launches production, CUTL holds the action until you confirm it.
What your assistant can do in CUTL
Every tool checks the same right as the matching action in the web app, and its results land in CUTL as ordinary records your team can open.
STEP models and reviews
Turn a STEP file into a review, read its parts list and PMI, post and resolve comments, and invite a reviewer with parts hidden.
Assembly quotes
Build an assembly from a STEP model, set up to three quantity breaks, price the parts you make and get the quotation as PDF or Excel.
2D quotes and production
Create a project from DXF, STEP or PDF drawings, read the quote, explain a price, email the quote and launch production once you confirm.
Drawings and documents
Get production drawings as one print-ready PDF, route cards, purchase and make lists, and the assembly as an ERP export in JSON or XML.
Shop setup from the catalogue
Describe your machine and materials. The assistant browses CUTL's cutting catalogue, asks you for the hourly cost and creates the machine, materials and cutting modes in one go.
Cost shown before it is spent
Billed tools can do a dry run that shows the cost and charges nothing. Team limits per hour, per day and per call cap what all assistants spend together.
For teams that already work with an AI assistant
Estimators
Quote drawings and assemblies from the chat, compare materials before you change one and send the quote after a preview.
Engineers and quality teams
Open STEP reviews, read and change PMI and follow comment threads without clicking through each panel.
Developers and automation
Connect Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI or your own scripts and agents with a token. One token works with every toolset.
Questions about AI assistants and MCP
Claude.ai, Claude Desktop and Claude Code, ChatGPT Business, Enterprise or Edu in the web app, Gemini Enterprise, Gemini CLI and Cursor. Your own scripts and agents can connect with a token.
Whatever a tool returns, such as project and part names, customer names, prices and comments, is read by your assistant. It runs at its provider, for example Anthropic, OpenAI or Google, under your agreement with that provider. CUTL itself never sends drawing or model files to AI providers, and files you drop on the upload page go straight to CUTL.
Connecting is free and most tools are free. Billed actions cost the same coins as in the web app, for example 100 coins per part calculation, and a new account gets 10,000 coins free. Ask "How much would that cost? Don't do it yet" and the assistant shows the price first.
It acts as you, within your role's rights. Emailing a quote, commenting on a review and inviting a known reviewer wait for your yes in the chat. Launching production and any new email address always need the CUTL confirm page.
Revoke its token, or press Disconnect under Connected assistants in Settings, Integrations. Removing the connector inside the assistant alone does not end the connection on the CUTL side. Every tool call is recorded in CUTL.
