How do I use Autodesk Unified MCP Gateway?

1. Click on "Deploy 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., "@Autodesk Unified MCP Gateway List running Autodesk apps and their health." 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.

Autodesk Unified MCP Gateway 🌐

License: MIT Python 3.10+ Model Context Protocol

A universal, zero-dependency Model Context Protocol (MCP) STDIO Gateway that bridges AI assistants (Google Antigravity, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) with the entire Autodesk desktop software ecosystem.

⚡ The Architectural Problem & Solution

The Problem: Port Clashes & Static Config

AI clients configure MCP servers statically with fixed ports. In real-world desktop environments:

Fixed ports cause collisions when multiple sessions or products run concurrently.
Re-configuring Claude Desktop every time a CAD application picks a new port is unmaintainable.

The Solution: Dynamic Ephemeral Registry + Unified STDIO Gateway

Desktop Add-Ins (Fusion, Maya, Revit, 3ds Max, AutoCAD) bind to OS ephemeral ports (port = 0) on boot.
They atomically write their active port and process ID to %LOCALAPPDATA%\AutodeskMCP\registry.json.
This Gateway is the only server configured in your AI assistant. It reads the local registry in real time, routes commands dynamically to active software, and prunes dead processes automatically.

🚀 Quick Setup

1. Installation

Clone or install the gateway:

git clone https://github.com/Aaradhya-Dev-Tamrakar/autodesk-mcp.git
cd autodesk-mcp
pip install -e .

2. Configure Your AI Assistant

Claude Desktop (`%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autodesk": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "autodesk_mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Google Antigravity (`~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp/autodesk.json`)

{
  "command": "python",
  "args": ["-m", "autodesk_mcp"],
  "env": {}
}

🛠️ CLI Fleet Diagnostics

Check the status of your Autodesk desktop applications anytime from your terminal:

python -m autodesk_mcp --status

Output:
