register_analysis_tools(mcp: FastMCP, adapter: SolidWorksAdapter, config: dict[str, Any]) -> int

Register analysis tools with FastMCP.

Registers comprehensive analysis tools for SolidWorks model evaluation including mass properties, interference checking, geometry analysis, and material properties. These tools provide critical engineering data for design validation and optimization.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
mcp	FastMCP	The mcp value.	required
adapter	SolidWorksAdapter	Adapter instance used for the operation.	required
config	dict[str, Any]	Configuration values for the operation.	required

Returns:

Name	Type	Description
int	int	The computed numeric result.

Example

from solidworks_mcp.tools.analysis import register_analysis_tools

tool_count = await register_analysis_tools(mcp, adapter, config)
print(f"Registered {tool_count} analysis tools")

            Note:
                Analysis tools require an active SolidWorks document with geometry.
                Some analyses may require specific material assignments for accurate results.

        intelligent MCP tool selection and documentation queries.

        Args:
            input_data (DiscoverDocsInput | None): The input data value. Defaults to None.

        Returns:
            dict[str, Any]: A dictionary containing the resulting values.

        Example:
                            ```python
                            result = await discover_solidworks_docs({
                                "output_dir": "docs-index",

                            ```

                        Note:
                            - Requires Windows + SolidWorks installed and running
                            - Creates .generated/docs-index directory if not present
                            - Generates solidworks_docs_index.json with full catalog
                            - Index can be used to build context for RAG or tool discovery

register_file_management_tools(mcp: FastMCP, adapter: SolidWorksAdapter, config: dict[str, Any]) -> int

Register file management tools with FastMCP.

Registers essential file operations for SolidWorks document management including save operations, file format conversions, and file property access. These tools provide fundamental document lifecycle management capabilities.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
mcp	FastMCP	The mcp value.	required
adapter	SolidWorksAdapter	Adapter instance used for the operation.	required
config	dict[str, Any]	Configuration values for the operation.	required

Returns:

Name	Type	Description
int	int	The computed numeric result.

Example

from solidworks_mcp.tools.file_management import register_file_management_tools

tool_count = await register_file_management_tools(mcp, adapter, config)
print(f"Registered {tool_count} file management tools")

            Note:
                File management tools require an active SolidWorks document.
                Save operations preserve the current document state and metadata.
