Response86% material efficiency

No credit card required. 100 free requests/day.

Built for production cutting workloads

Real material savings, not theoretical optimal layouts.

2D Guillotine Cutting

Match desktop optimizer efficiency. Multi-sheet, mixed parts, any quantity.

Production Metrics

Cut length, rotation count, stacking cycles. Optimize for your shop's bottleneck.

Cost Calculation

Machine cost per job from your own tariffs: setup, cut length, rotations, stacks and cycles.

Grain Direction

Respect wood grain or sheet directionality. Per-part rotation control.

Offcut Priority

Reuse leftover stock before cutting new sheets. Lower cost on repeat jobs.

AI-Ready (MCP)

Built-in MCP server. Connect Claude, GPT, or any AI agent directly.

Model Context Protocol

Works with AI agents

Sawvant runs a hosted MCP server. Point Claude, Cursor or any MCP-compatible client at it and ask for a cutting plan in plain language. Authentication runs through a device flow, so there is no key to paste into a config file.

authenticate signs the agent in through the device flow
optimize_cutting submits a job and returns the finished plan
check_job reports progress and current best yield
get_result returns layouts, metrics and cost
