Could you build this?
No Building a parametric CAD system requires complex computational geometry, a geometric constraint solver, and boundary representation (B-Rep) kernel integration.
What it would actually take: A real parametric CAD engine relies on integrating or writing a geometric modeling kernel (like Open CASCADE, Truck, or Fornjot in Rust) alongside a 2D/3D non-linear geometric constraint solver. Connecting an MCP protocol layer is easy, but topological naming, boolean mesh/BREP operations, and stable parametric feature tree recomputation require advanced specialized mathematics and CAD systems expertise.
