list_instances

MCP tool from Openstaad MCP by BentleySystems

Lists active STAAD.Pro instances with model paths and versions

How to use it

Project documentation lists list_instances for the Openstaad MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
