Intro

OctoEverywhere’s free remote MCP server for 3D printing allows any AI assistant or agent to fully integrate with your 3D printers. Your AI assistant will be able to access live status information about your 3D printers, live webcam snapshots, access files, diagnose errors and problems, and even control your 3D printers if you allow access.

​
Ease Of Use

OctoEverywhere’s cloud AI MCP server is easy to set up. Simply install the OctoEverywhere plugin on your 3D printer, log in to the MCP server, and you’re done. OctoEverywhere supports almost any 3D printer, including OctoPrint, Klipper, Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa, FlashForge, Snapmaker, and more.

​
Security

OctoEverywhere’s MCP granular control allows you to enable/disable access to any MCP function, ensuring the model has no access to it. We also provide time-limited access to sensitive tools, such as 3D printer control. These control permissions are enforced by OctoEverywhere’s servers, so there’s no way for the AI to get around them.

​
Privacy

Our cloud MCP server is built on OctoEverywhere’s worldwide secure and private server infrastructure. OctoEverywhere sticks to a strict Privacy Commitment; you can read more about it here.
