Vault MCP Server
Provides tools for interacting with Autodesk Vault REST API, enabling AI assistants to browse, search, and read data from an Autodesk Vault server including files, folders, users, groups, and engineering items.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Vault MCP Serversearch for CAD files modified in the last week"
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.
Vault MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Autodesk Vault REST API operations as tools, enabling AI assistants like Claude to browse, search, and read data from an Autodesk Vault server.
Prerequisites
Python 3.10+
An Autodesk Vault server with REST API access enabled
Vault user credentials with appropriate permissions
Installation
pip install -r requirements.txtConfiguration
Edit config.json before running the server. All fields are required.
{
"vault": {
"servername": "VaultServer",
"username": "Administrator",
"password": "your-password-here",
"database": "Inventor"
},
"server": {
"host": "0.0.0.0",
"port": 8080
},
"logging": {
"level": "INFO",
"file": "Log/mcp_server.log"
}
}Field | Description |
| Hostname or IP of your Vault server |
| Vault login username |
| Vault login password |
| Vault database name (e.g. |
| Bind address for SSE mode ( |
| Port for the SSE HTTP server (default |
| Log verbosity: |
| Path to the rotating log file |
Running the Server
SSE Mode (Claude Code / remote clients)
This is the default mode. It starts an HTTP server that MCP clients connect to over the network.
python app.pyThe server will be available at:
WebServer:
http://localhost:8080SSE endpoint:
http://localhost:8080/sseMessages endpoint:
http://localhost:8080/messages
To use a custom config file:
python app.py --config path/to/my_config.jsonstdio Mode (Claude Desktop)
For Claude Desktop, the server runs as a subprocess communicating over stdin/stdout.
python app.py --transport stdioConnecting to Claude Code
Add the server to your Claude Code MCP configuration (.claude/settings.json or via claude mcp add):
{
"mcpServers": {
"vault": {
"type": "sse",
"url": "http://localhost:8080/sse"
}
}
}Or use the CLI:
claude mcp add --transport sse vault http://localhost:8080/sseConnecting to Claude Desktop
Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"vault": {
"command": "python",
"args": [
"C:/path/to/Vault MCP/app.py",
"--transport", "stdio"
]
}
}
}Replace C:/path/to/Vault MCP/ with the actual path to this project directory. Claude Desktop will launch the server automatically as a subprocess.
Available Tools
Once connected, the following tools are exposed to the AI assistant:
Tool | Description |
| Get Vault server version and metadata |
| Authenticate with different credentials |
| Invalidate the current session |
| List all accessible vaults |
| Get details for a specific vault |
| List files and sub-folders in a folder |
| Get metadata for a specific folder |
| Get metadata for a specific file |
| List all versions of a file |
| Get the download URL for a file |
| Keyword search across vault files |
| Structured search using property criteria |
| List all groups in the vault |

| Search for engineering/BOM items |
| Get details for a specific engineering item |
| List lifecycle definitions |
| List category definitions |
Logs
Logs are written to Log/mcp_server.log (rotating, max 5 MB × 5 files). In SSE mode, logs also print to the console. In stdio mode, only the file is written to (stdout is reserved for the MCP protocol).
