# List project design metadata with MCP

Review the saved design catalog from a compatible external AI client. Metadata can help locate a design, but it should not be described as a geometric analysis of the underlying file.

List accessible saved designs and their associated projects. Show available design metadata and clearly distinguish it from an inspection of the actual CAD geometry.

## When to use it

Find design records while preparing a project review in ChatGPT or Claude.

## What you need

A Millbase MCP connection with designs:read and any additional access needed for project names.

## What you’ll get

- Accessible design records with the metadata exposed by the connection.

- Project links or identifiers where those fields are available.

## How to use it

Open the prompt in Millbase, sign up or sign in if needed, then review the editable draft before sending.

Use Design Lab to inspect the actual model. The public MCP connection remains read-only and permission-scoped.

## MCP version

Connect Millbase MCP in your compatible client: https://millbase.ca/docs/mcp

Use Millbase MCP. Call list_resources and locate authorized design datasets and fields. Use query_data to list accessible design metadata, following pagination. Resolve associated project names only when authorized. Do not claim to inspect raw CAD geometry or private design files that the connection does not expose.
