ShopSpec

This app is a deterministic parametric furniture generator covering bookshelves, cabinets, shop carts, leg-and-rail frames, and multi-carcass composites. It encodes real woodworking intelligence and outputs shop-ready artifacts, adds value engineering by sweeping across dimensions to batch evaluate and rank design candidates based on sheet purchases, and includes a beta MCP connector that lets agents explore the deterministic engine.

01 / The problem

What it addresses

Choosing furniture dimensions that minimize sheet material purchases is hard to evaluate manually; the tool sweeps across dimensions and batch ranks candidates by sheet purchases.
