Is FraktalMCP really free?
Yes. The plugin is free under the MIT license. Anthropic API usage is billed separately through your own provider account.
What's the difference between FraktalMCP and Falcon AI?
FraktalMCP is our public open-source plugin for Rhino geometry and GhPython generation. Falcon is a working research prototype exploring model context and native Grasshopper definitions.
Do I need coding experience?
You can start with a plain-language request. Familiarity with Rhino and Grasshopper helps you check the resulting geometry and review generated scripts.
Which AI models are supported?
The Food4Rhino release connects to Claude through your own Anthropic API key. Its Settings panel includes model selection.
Does it run entirely offline?
No. The panel and generated geometry run in Rhino, while chat requests and conversation context are sent to the Anthropic API. Choose what project information to include accordingly.
