Which integrations are available for this server?

Enables programmatic control over Autodesk Maya's features, allowing users to create 3D primitives, perform advanced mesh modeling (extrude, bevel, smooth), manage materials and lighting, and handle scene organization and animation.

How do I use Maya MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Maya MCP Server Create a torus, bevel its edges, and apply a gold metallic material" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Fully Documented - Extensive guides and examples

What You Can Do

✅ Create any primitive shape (19 types)
✅ Advanced mesh modeling (extrude, bevel, smooth, boolean)
✅ Professional materials and lighting
✅ Scene organization and hierarchy
✅ Procedural generation (arrays, grids, patterns)
✅ Animation keyframes
✅ Deformers and non-destructive editing

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

Python 3.8 or higher
Autodesk Maya 2020 or higher
Claude Desktop (or any MCP-compatible client)

Installation (2 Minutes)

1. Install Python dependencies:

cd maya-mcp-server pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Open Maya command port:

In Maya Script Editor (Python tab):

import maya.cmds as cmds cmds.commandPort(name="localhost:4434", sourceType="python", echoOutput=False) print("✓ Maya ready for MCP!")

3. Configure Claude Desktop:

Edit config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "maya": { "command": "python3", "args": ["/FULL/PATH/TO/maya-mcp-server/src/expanded_mcp_server.py"], "env": { "MAYA_HOST": "localhost", "MAYA_PORT": "4434" } } } }

4. Restart Claude Desktop

5. Start creating!

"Create a torus, bevel its edges, add a gold metallic material"

🧪 Testing

Test Maya connection:

python tests/test_connection.py

🔧 Configuration

Environment variables:

MAYA_HOST - Maya hostname (default: localhost)
MAYA_PORT - Command port (default: 4434)

💡 Tips

Use descriptive names: tree_trunk not cube1
Combine operations: Do multiple things in one prompt
Build hierarchies: Use grouping and parenting
Leverage strengths: NURBS for organic, polygons for hard surface

🐛 Troubleshooting

"Could not connect to Maya"

Verify Maya is running
Check: cmds.commandPort("localhost:4434", query=True)
