Show HN: Drint – packaging dielines and 3D box mockups as an MCP server

Drint launched an MCP server at https://drint.io/mcp that lets Muse, Claude, Claude Code and ChatGPT search 3D packaging mockups and generate dielines at exact sizes from inside a chat. The server exposes four no-account tools (search_mockups, open_mockup, list_dielines) plus account tools including get_dieline, make_dieline, list_my_projects and review_inbox; free accounts get 3 dielines a month, and DXF and CF2 die-maker files require Pro. Connections support a View only mode that generates no dieline files and uses nothing on a user's plan, and connected assistants can be removed under Account → Sign-in & security → Connected apps.

[Help centre](https://drint.io/help) › AI assistants


Use Drint inside an AI assistant’s chat: find mockups, get dielines at an exact size, open your own projects in 3D.

One address for every assistant #

Drint is an MCP server — the standard way AI assistants plug in other apps. Muse, Claude and ChatGPT all connect to the same address: https://drint.io/mcp.

Finding mockups and listing dieline structures work straight away, without an account. When the assistant needs your account (your projects, dieline files), it sends you to drint.io to sign in and click Allow.

Meta Muse #

  1. If Drint is listed in Muse’s Settings → Connectors , turn it on there.
  2. If it is not, send Muse one message: “Connect to the Drint MCP server at https://drint.io/mcp”. Muse sets up the connection, tests the tools and keeps it for next time.
  3. When asked, sign in to Drint and click Allow .
  4. In Muse’s settings, choose whether Muse may run Drint’s tools on its own or asks you first each time.

Claude #

  1. In Claude (web or desktop app), open Customize → Connectors and search forDrint — or clickAdd custom connector .
  2. Name it Drint, paste https://drint.io/mcp as the URL and clickAdd .
  3. Click Connect , sign in to Drint and clickAllow .
  4. In a chat, turn Drint on in the tools menu and ask, for example: “find a kraft paper bag mockup and show it in 3D”.

Claude Code #

Run claude mcp add --transport http drint https://drint.io/mcp, then type /mcp in Claude Code to sign in to Drint.

ChatGPT #

  1. In ChatGPT’s settings, open the apps section (Apps & Connectors) and turn on Developer mode under the advanced settings.
  2. Create a new app named Drint with the address https://drint.io/mcp and OAuth sign-in.
  3. Sign in to Drint and click Allow .
  4. In a chat, pick Drint and ask. Mockups and projects open in Drint’s own 3D viewer inside the chat — rotate, recolour and resize them there.

No account needed #

search_mockups — finds ready 3D mockups: boxes, bags, bottles, labels, apparel…

open_mockup — opens one in 3D.

list_dielines — the dieline structures Drint draws, with their default sizes.

With your Drint account #

get_dieline — a PDF / AI or SVG dieline at an exact size, from a FEFCO or ECMA code or a Drint type. Free has 3 a month.

make_dieline — PDF / AI, DXF and CF2 files for the die-maker. DXF and CF2 need Pro. Both dieline tools count on your plan like a download in the app.

list_my_projects, open_my_project — your own projects, opened in 3D (with the watermark grid on Free, as in the app).

review_inbox — your Review inbox: work handed on to 3D Studio or Drint AI and the results waiting for you.

send_to_3d_studio — a link that opens the project with Continue already open; click Build a scene in 3D Studio to send it.

my_drint — your plan and what is left.

View only, and removing a connection #

On drint.io’s Allow page, tick View only if the assistant should only look at your projects and Review inbox: it makes no dieline files and uses nothing on your plan.

Each connection works in one space you pick on the same page — your own, or a print shop’s.

See and remove connected assistants in Account → Sign-in & security → Connected apps. Changing your password removes all of them.

The assistant never sees your password, and no Drint tool deletes anything or takes a payment.
