Map of the docs
Five stops, in order
Read left to right the first time. Each stop names the pages to open, and an AI agent can travel the whole line with you.
- 01
Understand
What the platform is and the ideas every product stands on.
- 02
Start
Open an editor in the browser and make a first model.
- 03
Model
The API by kernel, and interactive parametric CAD in the Designer.
- 04
Build and run
Your own app, a script on any page, or geometry on our servers.
- 05
Sell
3D product configurators on Shopify, priced as shoppers choose.
Or start from who you are
Six ways in
Each path picks the pages of the map that matter for one kind of reader.
- Shopify merchants3D viewers and configurators on your product pages.
- Software developersThe geometry engine in your web app, backend or workflow.
- Computational designersVisual and code-based parametric design.
- Enterprise and B2BManaged CAD infrastructure and custom development.
- Educators3D geometry, mathematics and programming in the classroom.
- AI coding agentsThe exact API for an agent and, with a key, hosted CAD compute.
AI
Built for AI coding agents
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, claude.ai and ChatGPT can look up the exact Bitbybit API while they work, and run geometry on CAD Cloud when you give them a key. Two MCP servers, one dotted API, no guessing.
- FreeBitbybit CAD MCPEvery function, parameter, default and example for the exact version you use, answered live to your agent. Remote at mcp.bitbybit.dev or local with one npx command.
- API keyBitbybit CAD Cloud MCPYour agent runs operations, pipelines, parametric models and STEP conversions on CAD Cloud and hands you the files.
- In the editorsAgents in the coding editorsThe tools the Rete, Blockly and TypeScript editors offer an agent while they are open.
- GuidesDesign documentsParametric models as JSON: parameters, sketches, features, parts and assemblies an agent can write and the Designer can open.
- No MCPContext filesFor assistants that cannot connect to an MCP server: the whole API as one Markdown or .d.ts file per engine.

Your own app
One command to a running project
Scaffold a configured 3D CAD project: Vite, TypeScript and all three geometry kernels (OCCT, JSCAD, Manifold) ready to use, drawn by the engine you pick.

The company behind Bitbybit
Where code meets design
We write the platform ourselves: the Bitbybit OCCT Kernel, the editors, the Shopify app and these pages. Learn it here at your own pace, ask us when the docs stop short, and bring us in when a project needs more than the products do out of the box.
Let's invest in our future together.
