dcc-mcp-fpt

ShotGrid (Flow Production Tracking) adapter for the DCC-MCP ecosystem.

CI License: MIT Python

Bridges AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, VS Code Copilot) to ShotGrid data through typed, progressively-loaded MCP tools built on dcc-mcp-core.

This is a fresh re-implementation of the shotgrid-mcp-server using the dcc-mcp framework — providing the same ShotGrid integration surface with gateway routing, skill-based progressive loading, and multi-DCC observability built in.

Why Use It

Feature

Description

20+ Typed Tools

CRUD, search, batch, notes, schema — all with validated schemas

Progressive Loading

Bootstrap tools eager-loaded; advanced tools loaded on demand

Gateway Ready

Plugs into the dcc-mcp gateway for unified multi-service routing

Skill-First

Every tool is a typed skill with tools.yaml, schemas, and annotations

Connection Pooling

Reuses authenticated sessions for performance

Schema Caching

Entity field schemas cached with configurable TTL

Multi-Transport

stdio, HTTP, and ASGI — works anywhere

Docker Ready

Single-command container deployment

Quick Start

Install

pip install dcc-mcp-fpt

Or with uv:

uv pip install dcc-mcp-fpt

Configure

Set your ShotGrid credentials:

export SHOTGRID_URL="https://mysite.shotgrid.autodesk.com"
export SHOTGRID_SCRIPT_NAME="my_script_name"
export SHOTGRID_SCRIPT_KEY="my_script_key"

Run

HTTP mode:

dcc-mcp-fpt http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8765
# MCP endpoint: http://localhost:8765/mcp

stdio mode (for Claude Desktop):

dcc-mcp-fpt stdio

ASGI mode (for uvicorn/gunicorn):

uvicorn dcc_mcp_fpt.asgi:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Docker:

docker run --rm -p 8765:8765 \
    -e SHOTGRID_URL="$SHOTGRID_URL" \
    -e SHOTGRID_SCRIPT_NAME="$SHOTGRID_SCRIPT_NAME" \
    -e SHOTGRID_SCRIPT_KEY="$SHOTGRID_SCRIPT_KEY" \
    dcc-mcp-fpt

Claude Desktop Config

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shotgrid": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["dcc-mcp-fpt", "stdio"],
      "env": {
