Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides a bridge to the Autodesk ecosystem via Maya, allowing for programmatic control of 3D scenes and object manipulation. Enables AI assistants to interact with active Autodesk Maya sessions, allowing them to control scene objects, manage selections, and perform common 3D operations using the maya.cmds API.

How do I use maya_mcp?

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 List the objects I currently have selected in the Maya scene" 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.

maya_mcp

FastMCP-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Autodesk Maya. This server enables AI assistants and other MCP clients to interact with an active Maya session, control scene objects, and perform common 3D operations.

Features

FastMCP Framework: Built on FastMCP for easy tool, resource, and prompt registration
Maya Integration: Communicate with active Maya sessions via maya.cmds API
Flexible Deployment: Can be started from within Maya or from a mayapy process
Extensible: Easy to add new tools, resources, and prompts

Installation

Development Installation

# Using pip pip install -e . # Using uv uv pip install -e .

Requirements

Python 3.10+ (3.11+ recommended)
FastMCP >= 2.0.0
Autodesk Maya (for running the server with Maya)

Usage

Starting the Server from Maya

Open Maya
In the Maya Script Editor, run:

import sys sys.path.insert(0, r'F:\git\maya_mcp\src\py') # Adjust path as needed import maya_mcp maya_mcp.__main__.main()

Starting the Server from mayapy

# Using mayapy directly mayapy -m maya_mcp # Or if installed as a package mayapy -c "from maya_mcp import mcp; mcp.run()"

Starting as a Standalone Script

If installed via pip/uv:

maya-mcp

Note: The server will warn if Maya is not available, but some tools may not work.
