validate_scad
Syntax-check code without a full render (errors, warnings, echo output)
How to use it
validate_scad is exposed by the Openscad MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the validate_scad tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.
