Onshape

Onshape is a cloud-native computer-aided design (CAD) and product data management (PDM) platform, part of PTC, that runs entirely in a web browser with real-time collaboration, versioning, and configurations. Its public REST API (OpenAPI 3.0.1, base https://cad.onshape.com/api/v16) exposes documents, workspaces, versions and microversions, Part Studios, parts, assemblies, drawings, metadata, translations (CAD import/export), release management, and webhooks. Authentication is via OAuth 2.0 or HMAC-signed API keys, with offset/limit pagination and per-endpoint plus annual API call limits. Onshape was surfaced as an a16z portfolio company and enriched with its real developer surface by the API Evangelist pipeline.

Onshape publishes 42 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Account API, Alias API, APIApplication API, and 39 more. Tagged areas include Company, CAD, PLM, Product Data Management, and Engineering.

The Onshape catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Onshape’s developer surface includes authentication, changelog, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, and 28 more developer resources.

  note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list derived
    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
    correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
