OctoEverywhere MCP Server

What does “OctoEverywhere” MCP Server do?

OctoEverywhere MCP Server is a free Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed specifically for 3D printing environments. It acts as a bridge, enabling AI assistants, chatbots, and agentic workflows to securely access and control 3D printers through the cloud. The server allows users to retrieve live printer status, webcam snapshots for real-time monitoring, and execute printer control commands such as pausing, resuming, or canceling print jobs. Supporting a broad range of 3D printers—including OctoPrint, Klipper, Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa, and more—OctoEverywhere ensures seamless integration into diverse development workflows, making remote management and AI-driven automation of 3D printing processes accessible, private, and easy to set up.

How to set it up

Windsurf

1. Ensure required prerequisites are installed.
2. Locate and open the Windsurf MCP configuration file.
3. Add OctoEverywhere MCP Server with the following JSON snippet:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "octoeverywhere": {
         "package": "@octoeverywhere/mcp-server@latest",
         "command": "octoeverywhere-mcp",
         "args": []
       }
     }
   }
   

4. Save the file and restart Windsurf.
5. Verify connection to your 3D printer via Windsurf interface.

Claude

1. Confirm Node.js and required runtime are available.
2. Edit the Claude MCP configuration file.
3. Insert the following configuration for OctoEverywhere:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "octoeverywhere": {
         "package": "@octoeverywhere/mcp-server@latest",
         "command": "octoeverywhere-mcp",
         "args": []
       }
     }
   }
   

4. Save and restart Claude.
5. Test the connection using a sample printer status query.

Cursor

1. Install prerequisites (Node.js, compatible system).
2. Open Cursor’s MCP server settings file.
3. Configure as follows:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "octoeverywhere": {
         "package": "@octoeverywhere/mcp-server@latest",
         "command": "octoeverywhere-mcp",
         "args": []
       }
     }
   }
   

4. Save changes and restart Cursor.
5. Confirm MCP server is active in the UI.

Cline

1. Ensure environment supports MCP integration.
2. Open Cline’s configuration file for MCP servers.
3. Add OctoEverywhere entry:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "octoeverywhere": {
         "package": "@octoeverywhere/mcp-server@latest",
         "command": "octoeverywhere-mcp",
         "args": []
       }
     }
   }
   

4. Save and restart Cline.
5. Validate by retrieving a webcam snapshot or printer status.

Securing API Keys:
Set sensitive API keys as environment variables and reference them in your configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "octoeverywhere": {
      "package": "@octoeverywhere/mcp-server@latest",
      "command": "octoeverywhere-mcp",
      "env": {
        "OCTOEVERYWHERE_API_KEY": "your-secret-key"
      },
      "inputs": {
        "apiKey": "${OCTOEVERYWHERE_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{ “octoeverywhere”: { “transport”: “streamable_http”, “url”: “https://yourmcpserver.example/pathtothemcp/url" } }

Once configured, the AI agent is now able to use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities. Remember to change “octoeverywhere” to whatever the actual name of your MCP server is and replace the URL with your own MCP server URL.

Overview

Based on the above, OctoEverywhere MCP Server is well-documented regarding its features and integration but lacks explicit details on prompt templates and tool granularity. It is focused and practical for its niche (3D printing). For general MCP extensibility, more developer documentation and explicit prompt/tool/resource lists would be ideal.

MCP Score

Our rating: 7/10
OctoEverywhere MCP Server is valuable for its clear focus and feature set for 3D printing scenarios. It would score higher with explicit prompt and tool documentation, and more examples for developers wanting to extend or integrate it into broader MCP workflows.
