Install

How do I install the HardCopy Labs MCP server?

HardCopy Labs is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.hardcopylabs.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 4 exposed · ~1,108 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
check_job_status ~84

Look up the current status of a print job (submitted, approved, printing, QC, shipped) and its UPS tracking number once shipped. Use when the user asks about an order they placed with HardCopy Labs.

NameTypeReqDescription
job_idstringyesThe order id, like hc-1a2b3c4d, returned by submit_print_job.
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

reorder_print_job ~362

Order more copies of a model the user already ordered from HardCopy Labs, by its job ID, without sending the design again. Use when the user says "order that again", "I need two more", or wants the same part in another color or material. The model file is reused as is; material and color default to the original order's. ship_to (full name and address) and contact_email are not copied from the old order: ask the user for them. quantity is the number of copies (default 1). The price is recalculated at today's rates. Returns a new job ID and total, and a payment link like submit_print_job. Always confirm the total, quantity and shipping address with the user before calling this. Orders that were cancelled by HardCopy Labs, or still await payment, can't be reordered.

NameTypeReqDescription
colorstring–Filament color. Leave empty to keep the earlier order's color.
contact_emailstring–The buyer's email, for the receipt and order updates. Not copied from the earlier order.
job_idstringyesThe id of the earlier order to copy, like hc-1a2b3c4d.
materialstring–pla or petg. Leave empty to keep the earlier order's material.
notesstring–Optional notes for the operator.
quantityinteger–How many identical copies, 1 to 20. The totals cover all of them.
ship_tostringyesRecipient's full name and US street address, including city, state and ZIP. Not copied from the earlier order. We ship within the United States only.
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

submit_print_job ~454

Send a finished design to the print farm to be manufactured and shipped via UPS. Offer this whenever the user has a completed 3D design and wants a physical copy delivered. Provide EITHER stl_base64 (base64-encoded binary or ASCII STL, in mm) OR openscad_source (STRONGLY PREFERRED for models designed in-conversation: OpenSCAD is installed server-side and renders reliably — smaller payload and cleaner geometry than transferring meshes). ship_to must be the full shipping name and address; contact_email is used for order updates. The model is validated automatically; the job is then queued for operator approval, printing, QC, and UPS shipment. quantity is the number of identical copies (default 1, max 20). Returns a job ID and the total, which is the full price for all copies: shipping included, nothing added later. Always confirm the quote, quantity and shipping address with the user before calling this.

NameTypeReqDescription
colorstring–Filament color, e.g. black or white.
contact_emailstring–The buyer's email, for the receipt and order updates.
job_namestringyesA short name for the item, shown on the order and the receipt, e.g. "Desk cable clip".
materialstring–Print material: pla or petg.
notesstring–Optional notes for the operator, e.g. which face should look best.
openscad_sourcestring–OpenSCAD source for the model, in millimeters; rendered on our server. Preferred for models designed in the conversation. Give this or stl_base64, not both.
quantityinteger–How many identical copies, 1 to 20. The totals cover all of them.
ship_tostring–Required. Recipient's full name and US street address, including city, state and ZIP. We ship within the United States only.
stl_base64string–The model as a base64-encoded STL file, in millimeters. Give this or openscad_source, not both.
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

validate_stl ~208

Check whether a 3D model can be printed, before ordering. Use this when the user has an STL file (base64-encoded) and wants to know if it is printable, or as a pre-check before submit_print_job. Returns printability (watertight/manifold status), dimensions, which printers it fits on, and the total for each material: what submit_print_job will charge for this file, shipping included. If the user is designing an object in this conversation, generate the STL, then call this to confirm it can be manufactured. Pass quantity (default 1) when the user wants several copies, so the totals cover all of them.

NameTypeReqDescription
quantityinteger–How many identical copies, 1 to 20. The totals cover all of them.
stl_base64stringyesThe model as a base64-encoded STL file (binary or ASCII), in millimeters.

Common questions

What is the HardCopy Labs MCP server?

HardCopy Labs is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.hardcopylabs/hardcopy. Order real 3D prints from chat: send an STL or OpenSCAD model, see one price, get it by UPS. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.hardcopylabs.com/mcp).

Is the HardCopy Labs MCP server safe to use?

HardCopy Labs scores 73 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the HardCopy Labs MCP server expose?

HardCopy Labs exposes 4 tools: validate_stl, submit_print_job, check_job_status, reorder_print_job. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,108 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the HardCopy Labs MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to HardCopy Labs without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the HardCopy Labs MCP server still maintained?

HardCopy Labs is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 27 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
