Origami Tutor MCP server
Origami Tutor is a hosted, read-only Model Context Protocol server for paper folding. An AI assistant can use it to find an origami or paper-craft model, explain the paper it needs, and walk you through every illustrated step. In hosts that support MCP Apps (ChatGPT, Claude), it also shows an interactive catalog and step viewer.
