Web searches run on 2026-10-20 between 14:58 and 15:10 BST (UTC+1) with an AI agent's web search tool
(standard mode, US results). For each: the query, the result domains in the order returned, and what the
tool's own summary said (paraphrased). Nestbolt appeared in none of the seven.

1. "Deepnest alternative"
   Results: alternativeto.net (Deepnest alternatives, Nest&Cut alternatives), g2.com (an unrelated "devnest"),
   backiee.wasmer.app (a mirror of deepnest.io), gittrend.io (Jack000/Deepnest, fel88/DeepNestPort),
   en.wikipedia.org (an unrelated company), two unrelated DeepSeek pages.
   Summary: free options SVGnest and Ring2D; paid PlanarNest, Nest&Cut, AI Nest-Pro, MyNesting, ProNest;
   the original Deepnest repository was last pushed five years ago, a C# port more recently.

2. "free nesting software for laser and CNC"
   Results: alternativeto.net (four pages), electronics.alibaba.com (a buying guide), eziil.com (two copies of
   one article), backiee.wasmer.app.
   Summary: Deepnest is the most-cited free choice, then SVGnest and Ring2D; ProNest, PlanarNest and MyNesting
   are paid; most results are aggregators or vendors.

3. "nesting MCP server for AI agents SVG DXF laser cutting"
   Results: glama.ai (an xTool laser MCP server), github.com (a Deepnest fork), gitee.com (two Deepnest
   mirrors), enterprisedna.co, getdrio.com and mcpplaygroundonline.com (an SVG-drawing MCP server),
   lobehub.com, glama.ai (an image-to-SVG MCP server).
   Summary: no MCP server that nests SVG or DXF parts was found in these results; the closest were laser-machine
   and SVG-drawing MCP servers that do not nest.

4. "command line SVG nesting tool open source Deepnest SVGnest CLI"
   Results: github.com (svg_stack, a non-nesting SVG combiner), github.com (an SVGnest fork), talk.vanhack.ca,
   gitee.com (Deepnest and SVGnest mirrors), github.com (a Deepnest fork), npmjs.com (svgstore-cli, not
   nesting), sugggest.com, gittrend.io.
   Summary: no result confirmed a command-line mode for SVGnest or Deepnest; one aggregator's CLI claim for
   SVGnest conflicts with its repository.

5. "MCP nesting server laser cutting parts AI agent"
   Results: glama.ai (two laser-related MCP servers), fast.io, mcp.so (two "nest" tag pages), getdrio.com,
   almacam.com (two pages), thedailyworkflow.com.
   Summary: no laser-part nesting MCP server was found; "MCP Nest" results are about nested data structures.

6. "open source nesting library python 2D irregular parts SVG DXF headless"
   Results: pypi.org (nest2D, three versions), github.com (two nest2d repositories), svgwrite docs,
   github.com (the "nesting" topic), packages.guix.gnu.org (libnest2d), github.com (a Deepnest fork),
   pypi.org (sdxf).
   Summary: nest2D (Python bindings for libnest2d) is the closest library, with a licence concern; a Python
   wrapper of Sparrow exists; no library confirmed both SVG and DXF import headless.

7. "automate nesting from a script Deepnest command line API"
   Results: github.com (a Deepnest fork), github.com (a Rhino plugin based on Deepnest), gitnux.org,
   docsearch.algolia.com, gitee.com (two mirrors), softpedia.com, backiee.wasmer.app, one spam page, gittrend.io.
   Summary: no official command-line or scripting API for Deepnest was found; a roundup's API claim had no
   documentation behind it.
