Could you build this?

Partial The MCP wrapper around the CSI API for SAP2000/ETABS is vibe-codeable, but meaningful structural analysis and design checks require structural engineering expertise and licensed software to test against.

What it would actually take: The wrapper layer is straightforward: an MCP server in Python or TypeScript that calls the CSI OAPI through COM/automation. The hard parts are correct model construction, load and design-code logic, and validation of outputs against real engineering standards. Building it credibly requires a structural engineer and licensed copies of ETABS/SAP2000 for testing.
