README Excerpt

This project is a standalone and lightweight bridge that allows external scripts, terminals, and AI assistants (using the Model Context Protocol) to execute Python code inside a running instance of FreeCAD. It operates entirely in-memory using **Windows Named Pipes** (on Windows) or **UNIX Domain Sockets** (on Linux/macOS) via Qt's native `QLocalServer` and `QLocalSocket`, completely bypassing the TCP/IP network layer and avoiding firewall prompts.
