Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides tools for CAD automation in Autodesk Fusion 360, enabling AI agents to manage sketches, 3D modeling features, assemblies, physical analysis, and CAM manufacturing processes.

How do I use Fusion360 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., "@Fusion360 MCP Server create a 50mm square on the XY plane and extrude it by 10mm" 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.

Fusion360 MCP Server

Beta — This project is under active development. APIs and tool behavior may change between releases. Use at your own discretion. Feedback and bug reports welcome via GitHub Issues.

MCP server that connects AI coding agents to Autodesk Fusion 360 for CAD automation.

Tested with Claude Code. Works with any MCP-compatible client — OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, or anything that speaks the Model Context Protocol.

How it works

Any MCP Client ←(stdio MCP)→ This Server ←(TCP :9876)→ Fusion360MCP Add-in ←(CustomEvent)→ Fusion Main Thread

Two components:

MCP Server (this repo) — Python process that speaks MCP protocol to Claude and forwards commands over TCP
Fusion360MCP Add-in (installed in Fusion's AddIns folder) — runs inside Fusion 360, executes API calls safely on the main thread

Prerequisites

uv (Python package manager)
Autodesk Fusion 360
An MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, etc.)

Installation

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/faust-machines/fusion360-mcp-server.git cd fusion360-mcp-server uv sync

2. Install the Fusion 360 Add-in

The add-in lives in the Fusion360MCP/ directory at the repo root (or wherever you keep it). Copy it into Fusion's AddIns folder:

macOS:

cp -r Fusion360MCP ~/Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/Autodesk\ Fusion\ 360/API/AddIns/

Windows (PowerShell):

Copy-Item -Recurse Fusion360MCP "$env:APPDATA\Autodesk\Autodesk Fusion 360\API\AddIns\"

Then start it in Fusion: Shift+S → Add-Ins → Fusion360MCP → Run

You should see [MCP] Server listening on localhost:9876 in the TEXT COMMANDS window.

3. Configure your MCP client

Claude Code

Add to ~/.claude.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "fusion360": { "type": "stdio", "command": "uv", "args": [ "run", "--directory", "/absolute/path/to/fusion360-mcp-server", "python", "-m", "fusion360_mcp", "--mode", "socket" ] } } }

Other MCP clients

The server runs over stdio, so any MCP-compatible client can launch it. The command is:

uv run --directory /absolute/path/to/fusion360-mcp-server python -m fusion360_mcp --mode socket

{ "mcpServers": { "fusion360": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "run", "--directory", "/absolute/path/to/fusion360-mcp-server", "python", "-m", "fusion360_mcp", "--mode", "socket" ] } } }

4. Verify

Call the ping tool from your client. If it returns {"pong": true}, everything is connected.

Uninstalling

Remove the fusion360 entry from your MCP client config
Stop the add-in in Fusion (Shift+S → Add-Ins → Fusion360MCP → Stop)
Delete the add-in folder from Fusion's AddIns directory

MCP Protocol Features

Tool annotations — each tool is tagged with readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, and idempotentHint so MCP clients can auto-approve safe operations
Resources — fusion360://status, fusion360://design, fusion360://parameters for passive state inspection
Resource templates — fusion360://body/{name}, fusion360://component/{name} for dynamic entity lookup
Prompts — create-box, model-threaded-bolt, sheet-metal-enclosure workflow templates
Structured errors — tool results include isError=True when the add-in reports failures
Mock mode — --mode mock returns plausible test data without Fusion running (all responses include "mode": "mock")

Development

uv sync --dev # install deps uv run pytest -v # run tests uv run ruff check # lint

Notes

All Fusion API units are centimeters (Fusion's internal unit).
One operation per tool call. Batching multiple operations crashes the add-in.
Commands time out after 30 seconds.
Add-in logs to ~/fusion360mcp.log.
