CAD Drawing Index
Lets staff ask their AI assistant what is inside AutoCAD drawings.
Built for: A manufacturing and wholesale company with its own engineering and drafting staff
The problem
The client's AI platform could find CAD files by name and date but could not see inside a drawing. Questions like "where is this tag shown?" or "count every fixture type in this building" meant opening drawings one at a time in AutoCAD.
What I built
I built an indexer that reads every .dwg and .dxf file on the file share, extracts blocks, quantities, attributes, layers and text into a database, and rescans changed files nightly. A read-only MCP server gives the client's AI assistant 12 query tools, so staff can ask plain-English questions and get counts and file paths in seconds.
How it works
- Crawl the drawings share with a read-only account.
- Convert and read each drawing's blocks, attributes, layers and text.
- Store it in MariaDB with each file's original path.
- Rescan only new or changed drawings every night.
- Answer the AI assistant's questions through 12 read-only MCP tools.
