Introducing progeMCP: Let Your AI Assistant Draw in progeCAD

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Clackamas, Oregon, USA — November 12, 2026 — progeCAD USA today announced the availability of progeMCP, a new utility that connects desktop AI assistants to progeCAD 2027 Professional. Built on the open Model Context Protocol (MCP), progeMCP lets ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini, Grok and other MCP-compatible AI apps work directly in the open progeCAD drawing: users describe what they need in plain words and watch it being drawn.

progeMCP gives the AI assistant 278 tools that use progeCAD’s own commands and objects. Requests such as “Draw a 10×10 ft room with a door and a window on the west wall,” “Put a table and four chairs from the library in the middle of the room,” or “Measure the area of each room and list it in a table” produce real progeCAD entities: dimension objects, blocks, and progeCAD architectural walls and openings that can be selected, edited and scheduled like any other. The result is an ordinary DWG the user keeps working on.

“progeMCP puts the AI assistant our customers already use to work inside progeCAD,” said Aubrey Lyons, CMO of progeCAD USA. “It asks before it builds instead of inventing sizes, it creates real CAD objects rather than pictures, and when the job is done it leaves progeCAD exactly as the user set it.”

Key features

• Drafting: lines, polylines, circles, arcs, hatches, text, tables, layers, blocks and true dimension objects, created and edited in the open drawing.
• Architecture: progeCAD’s own building objects — walls, doors and windows that cut their wall, slabs, roofs, stairs, railings, elevations and sections, and IFC export.
• Block library: searches progeCAD’s iCADLib library of more than 16,000 blocks and places furniture, fixtures and symbols at real size.
• Checking and output: measures distances and areas, counts objects by layer and type, audits drawings, plots to PDF and saves DWG or exports DXF.
• Engineering helpers: P&ID symbols and lines, mechanical parts and hole patterns, title blocks and sheet frames, and 3D solids.
• Works the way CAD users do: asks for units, heights and sizes that were not given, and restores snaps, current layer, styles, UCS and dialog settings after each job.
• Not tied to one AI vendor: setup automatically connects ChatGPT desktop and Codex, Claude Desktop and Claude Code, GitHub Copilot in VS Code and Visual Studio, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Grok Build, Junie, Kiro and LM Studio, and any other MCP-capable app can be added with a short copy-and-paste.
